Job 9:23 in Context — Job 9

21 [Bien que] yo [fuese] íntegro, no conozco mi alma: reprocharé mi vida.

22 Una cosa resta que yo diga: Al perfecto y al impío él los consume.

23 Si azote mata de presto, ríese de la prueba de los inocentes.

24 La tierra es entregada en manos de los impíos, y él cubre el rostro de sus jueces. Si no [es él], ¿quién [es]? ¿dónde está?

25 Mis días han sido más ligeros que un correo; huyeron, y no vieron el bien.
