Job 17:6 in Context — Job 17
4 Pois aos corações deles tu encobriste do entendimento; portanto não os exaltarás.
5 Aquele que denuncia a seus amigos em proveito próprio, também os olhos de seus filhos desfalecerão.
6 Ele tem me posto por ditado de povos, e em meu rosto é onde eles cospem.
7 Por isso meus olhos se escureceram de mágoa, e todos os membros de meu corpo são como a sombra.
8 Os íntegros pasmarão sobre isto, e o inocente se levantará contra o hipócrita.
