Job 5:16 in Context — Job 5
14 De día se topan con tinieblas, y en mitad del día andan á tientas como de noche:
15 Y libra de la espada al pobre, de la boca de los impíos, y de la mano violenta;
16 Pues es esperanza al menesteroso, y la iniquidad cerrará su boca.
17 He aquí, bienaventurado es el hombre á quien Dios castiga: por tanto no menosprecies la corrección del Todopoderoso.
18 Porque él es el que hace la llaga, y él [la] vendará: él hiere, y sus manos curan.
