Job 6:27 in Context — Job 6

25 ¡Cuán fuertes son las palabras de rectitud! Mas ¿qué reprende el que reprende de vosotros?

26 ¿Pensáis censurar palabras, y los discursos de un desesperado, que son como el viento?

27 También os arrojáis sobre el huérfano, y hacéis hoyo delante de vuestro amigo.

28 Ahora pues, si queréis, mirad en mí, y [ved] si miento delante de vosotros.

29 Tornad ahora, y no haya iniquidad; volved aún [á considerar] mi justicia en esto.
