Job 36:15-17

King James Version

¹⁵He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.

¹⁶Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.

¹⁷But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.

Job 36:15-17

Reina Valera Revisada

¹⁵Al pobre librará de su pobreza,
Y a través de la aflicción despertará su oído.
¹⁶También a ti te apartará de la boca de la angustia
A lugar espacioso, libre de todo apuro,
Y te preparará mesa llena de grosura.
¹⁷Mas tú estás lleno del juicio del impío,
En vez de sustentar el derecho y la justicia.
