Job 21
Reina-Valera 1960

Job afirma que los malos prosperan

21 Entonces respondió Job, y dijo:

2 Oíd atentamente mi palabra,

Y sea esto el consuelo que me deis.

3 Toleradme, y yo hablaré;

Y después que haya hablado, escarneced.

4 ¿Acaso me quejo yo de algún hombre?

¿Y por qué no se ha de angustiar mi espíritu?

5 Miradme, y espantaos,

Y poned la mano sobre la boca.

6 Aun yo mismo, cuando me acuerdo, me asombro,

Y el temblor estremece mi carne.

7 ¿Por qué viven los impíos,

Y se envejecen, y aun crecen en riquezas?

8 Su descendencia se robustece a su vista,

Y sus renuevos están delante de sus ojos.

9 Sus casas están a salvo de temor,

Ni viene azote de Dios sobre ellos.

10 Sus toros engendran, y no fallan;

Paren sus vacas, y no malogran su cría.

11 Salen sus pequeñuelos como manada,

Y sus hijos andan saltando.

12 Al son de tamboril y de cítara saltan,

Y se regocijan al son de la flauta.

13 Pasan sus días en prosperidad,

Y en paz descienden al Seol.

14 Dicen, pues, a Dios: Apártate de nosotros,

Porque no queremos el conocimiento de tus caminos.

15 ¿Quién es el Todopoderoso, para que le sirvamos?

¿Y de qué nos aprovechará que oremos a él?

16 He aquí que su bien no está en mano de ellos;

El consejo de los impíos lejos esté de mí.

17 ¡Oh, cuántas veces la lámpara de los impíos es apagada,

Y viene sobre ellos su quebranto,

Y Dios en su ira les reparte dolores!

18 Serán como la paja delante del viento,

Y como el tamo que arrebata el torbellino.

19 Dios guardará para los hijos de ellos su violencia;

Le dará su pago, para que conozca.

20 Verán sus ojos su quebranto,

Y beberá de la ira del Todopoderoso.

21 Porque ¿qué deleite tendrá él de su casa después de sí,

Siendo cortado el número de sus meses?

22 ¿Enseñará alguien a Dios sabiduría,

Juzgando él a los que están elevados?

23 Este morirá en el vigor de su hermosura, todo quieto y pacífico;

24 Sus vasijas estarán llenas de leche,

Y sus huesos serán regados de tuétano.

25 Y este otro morirá en amargura de ánimo,

Y sin haber comido jamás con gusto.

26 Igualmente yacerán ellos en el polvo,

Y gusanos los cubrirán.

27 He aquí, yo conozco vuestros pensamientos,

Y las imaginaciones que contra mí forjáis.

28 Porque decís: ¿Qué hay de la casa del príncipe,

Y qué de la tienda de las moradas de los impíos?

29 ¿No habéis preguntado a los que pasan por los caminos,

Y no habéis conocido su respuesta,

30 Que el malo es preservado en el día de la destrucción?

Guardado será en el día de la ira.

31 ¿Quién le denunciará en su cara su camino?

Y de lo que él hizo, ¿quién le dará el pago?

32 Porque llevado será a los sepulcros,

Y sobre su túmulo estarán velando.

33 Los terrones del valle le serán dulces;

Tras de él será llevado todo hombre,

Y antes de él han ido innumerables.

34 ¿Cómo, pues, me consoláis en vano,

Viniendo a parar vuestras respuestas en falacia?

Job 21
New American Standard Bible

Job Says God Will Deal with the Wicked

21 Then Job responded,

2 “Listen carefully to my speech,
And let this be your way of consolation.
3 Bear with me that I may speak;
Then after I have spoken, you may (A)mock me.
4 As for me, is (B)my complaint [a]to a mortal?
Or (C)why should [b]I not be impatient?
5 Look at me, and be astonished,
And (D)put your hand over your mouth.
6 Even when I remember, I am disturbed,
And (E)horror takes hold of my flesh.
7 Why (F)do the wicked still live,
Grow old, and also become very [c](G)powerful?
8 Their [d](H)descendants endure with them in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes,
9 Their houses (I)are safe from fear,
And the [e]rod of God is not on them.
10 His ox mates [f]without fail;
His cow calves and does not miscarry.
11 They send out their boys like the flock,
And their children dance.
12 They [g]sing with the tambourine and harp,
And rejoice at the sound of the flute.
13 They (J)spend their days in prosperity,
And [h]suddenly they go down to [i]Sheol.
14 Yet they say to God, ‘(K)Go away from us!
We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.
15 [j]Who is [k]the Almighty, that we should serve Him,
And (L)what would we gain if we plead with Him?’
16 Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand;
The (M)advice of the wicked is far from me.

17 “How often is (N)the lamp of the wicked put out,
Or does their (O)disaster fall on them?
Does [l]God apportion destruction in His anger?
18 Are they as (P)straw before the wind,
And like (Q)chaff which the storm carries away?
19 You say, ‘(R)God saves up [m]a person’s [n]wrongdoing for his sons.’
Let [o]God repay him so that he may know it.
20 Let his (S)own eyes see his destruction,
And let him (T)drink of the wrath of [p]the Almighty.
21 For what does he care about his household [q]after him,
When the number of his months is at an end?
22 Can anyone (U)teach God knowledge,
In that He (V)judges those on high?
23 One (W)dies in his full strength,
Being wholly undisturbed and at ease;
24 His [r]sides are filled with fat,
And the (X)marrow of his bones is wet,
25 While another dies with a bitter soul,
Never even [s]tasting anything good.
26 Together they (Y)lie down in the dust,
And (Z)maggots cover them.

27 “Behold, I know your thoughts,
And the plots you devise against me.
28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of (AA)the nobleman,
And where is the (AB)tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’
29 Have you not asked travelers,
And do you not examine their [t]evidence?
30 For the (AC)wicked person is spared [u]a day of disaster;
They [v]are led away from (AD)a day of fury.
31 Who [w]confronts him with his actions,
And who repays him for what he has done?
32 When he is carried to the grave,
People will keep watch over his tomb.
33 The (AE)clods of the valley will [x]gently cover him;
Moreover, (AF)all mankind will [y]follow after him,
While countless others go before him.
34 So how dare you give me empty (AG)comfort?
For your answers remain nothing but falsehood!”
