Job 16
Reina-Valera 1960
Job se queja contra Dios
16 Respondió Job, y dijo:
2 Muchas veces he oído cosas como estas;
Consoladores molestos sois todos vosotros.
3 ¿Tendrán fin las palabras vacías?
¿O qué te anima a responder?
4 También yo podría hablar como vosotros,
Si vuestra alma estuviera en lugar de la mía;
Yo podría hilvanar contra vosotros palabras,
Y sobre vosotros mover mi cabeza.
5 Pero yo os alentaría con mis palabras,
Y la consolación de mis labios apaciguaría vuestro dolor.
6 Si hablo, mi dolor no cesa;
Y si dejo de hablar, no se aparta de mí.
7 Pero ahora tú me has fatigado;
Has asolado toda mi compañía.
8 Tú me has llenado de arrugas; testigo es mi flacura,
Que se levanta contra mí para testificar en mi rostro.
9 Su furor me despedazó, y me ha sido contrario;
Crujió sus dientes contra mí;
Contra mí aguzó sus ojos mi enemigo.
10 Abrieron contra mí su boca;
Hirieron mis mejillas con afrenta;
Contra mí se juntaron todos.
11 Me ha entregado Dios al mentiroso,
Y en las manos de los impíos me hizo caer.
12 Próspero estaba, y me desmenuzó;
Me arrebató por la cerviz y me despedazó,
Y me puso por blanco suyo.
13 Me rodearon sus flecheros,
Partió mis riñones, y no perdonó;
Mi hiel derramó por tierra.
14 Me quebrantó de quebranto en quebranto;
Corrió contra mí como un gigante.
15 Cosí cilicio sobre mi piel,
Y puse mi cabeza en el polvo.
16 Mi rostro está inflamado con el lloro,
Y mis párpados entenebrecidos,
17 A pesar de no haber iniquidad en mis manos,
Y de haber sido mi oración pura.
18 ¡Oh tierra! no cubras mi sangre,
Y no haya lugar para mi clamor.
19 Mas he aquí que en los cielos está mi testigo,
Y mi testimonio en las alturas.
20 Disputadores son mis amigos;
Mas ante Dios derramaré mis lágrimas.
21 ¡Ojalá pudiese disputar el hombre con Dios,
Como con su prójimo!
22 Mas los años contados vendrán,
Y yo iré por el camino de donde no volveré.

Job Says Friends Are Miserable Comforters
16 Then Job responded,
2 “I have heard many things like these;
[a](A)Miserable comforters are you all!
3 Is there no end to (B)windy words?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I too could speak like you,
If only [b]I were in your place.
I could compose words against you
And (C)shake my head at you.
5 Or I could strengthen you with my mouth,
And the condolence of my lips could lessen your pain.
Job Says God Shattered Him
6 “If I speak, (D)my pain is not lessened,
And if I refrain, what pain leaves me?
7 But now He has (E)exhausted me;
You have laid (F)waste all my group of loved ones.
8 And you have shriveled me up,
[c](G)It has become a witness;
And my (H)infirmity rises up against me,
It testifies to my face.
9 His anger has (I)torn me and [d]hunted me down,
He has (J)gnashed at me with His teeth;
My (K)enemy [e]glares at me.
10 They have (L)gaped at me with their mouths,
They have [f](M)slapped me on the cheek with contempt;
They have (N)massed themselves against me.
11 God hands me over to criminals,
And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but (O)He shattered me,
And He has grasped me by my neck and shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His (P)target.
13 His (Q)arrows surround me.
He splits my kidneys open without mercy;
He pours out (R)my bile on the ground.
14 He (S)breaks through me with breach after breach;
He (T)runs at me like a warrior.
15 I have sewed (U)sackcloth over my skin,
And (V)thrust my horn in the dust.
16 My face is flushed from (W)weeping,
(X)And deep darkness is on my eyelids,
17 Although there is no (Y)violence in my hands,
And (Z)my prayer is pure.
18 “Earth, do not cover my blood,
And may there be no resting place for my cry.
19 Even now, behold, (AA)my witness is in heaven,
And my [g]advocate is (AB)on high.
20 My friends are my scoffers;
(AC)My eye weeps to God,
21 That one might plead for a man with God
As a son of man with his neighbor!
22 For when a few years are past,
I shall go the way (AD)of no return.
