Job 27:18 in Context — Job 27

16 Se ele amontoar prata como o pó da terra, e se preparar roupas como lama,

17 Mesmo ele tendo preparado, é o justo que se vestirá, e o inocente repartirá a prata.

18 Ele constrói sua casa como a traça, como uma barraca feita por um vigilante.

19 O rico dormirá, mas não será recolhido; ele abrirá seus olhos, e nada mais há para si.

20 Medos o tomarão como águas; um turbilhão o arrebatará de noite.
