Job 20:12 in Context — Job 20

10 Seus filhos procurarão o favor dos pobres; e suas mãos devolverão a sua riqueza.

11 Seus ossos estão cheios de sua juventude, que juntamente com ele se deitará no pó.

12 Se o mal é doce em sua boca, e o esconde debaixo de sua língua;

13 Se o guarda para si, e não o abandona; ao contrário, o retém em sua boca.

14 Sua comida se mudará em suas entranhas, veneno de cobras será em seu interior.
