Job 10

Job Cries Out to God
10 “(A)My soul is loathed by my life;
I will abandon all restraint in myself to (B)my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God, ‘(C)Do not account me as wicked;
Let me know why You contend with me.
3 Is it good to You that You (D)oppress,
That You reject (E)the labor of Your hands,
And [a]cause (F)the counsel of the wicked to shine forth?
4 Have You eyes of flesh?
Or do You (G)see as a mortal man sees?
5 Are Your days as the days of a mortal man,
Or (H)Your years as man’s years,
6 That (I)You should seek for my guilt
And search after my sin?
7 According to Your knowledge (J)I am indeed not wicked,
Yet there is (K)no [b]deliverer from Your hand.
8 ‘(L)Your hands fashioned and made me [c]altogether,
(M)And would You swallow me up?
9 Remember now, that You have made me as (N)clay;
And would You (O)turn me into dust again?
10 Did You not pour me out like milk
And curdle me like cheese,
11 Clothe me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews?
12 You have (P)made alongside me life and lovingkindness;
And Your care has kept my spirit.
13 Yet (Q)these things You have concealed in Your heart;
I know that this is within You:
14 If I sin, then You would (R)take note of me
And (S)would not acquit me of my guilt.
15 If (T)I am wicked, woe to me!
And (U)if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
I am sated with disgrace—so see my misery!
16 Should my head be set on high, (V)You would hunt me like a lion;
And again You would show Your (W)wonders against me.
17 You renew (X)Your witnesses against me
And increase Your vexation toward me;
[d](Y)Hardship after hardship is with me.
18 ‘(Z)Why then have You brought me out of the womb?
Would that I had breathed my last and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been,
Carried from womb to tomb.’
20 Would He not cease (AA)for a few of my days?
[e](AB)Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer
21 Before I go—(AC)and I shall not return—
(AD)To the land of darkness and (AE)shadow of death,
22 The land of utter gloom as the thick darkness itself,
Of the shadow of death, without order,
And which shines as the thick darkness.”
Job 10
Reina-Valera 1960
Job lamenta su condición
10 Está mi alma hastiada de mi vida;
Daré libre curso a mi queja,
Hablaré con amargura de mi alma.
2 Diré a Dios: No me condenes;
Hazme entender por qué contiendes conmigo.
3 ¿Te parece bien que oprimas,
Que deseches la obra de tus manos,
Y que favorezcas los designios de los impíos?
4 ¿Tienes tú acaso ojos de carne?
¿Ves tú como ve el hombre?
5 ¿Son tus días como los días del hombre,
O tus años como los tiempos humanos,
6 Para que inquieras mi iniquidad,
Y busques mi pecado,
7 Aunque tú sabes que no soy impío,
Y que no hay quien de tu mano me libre?
8 Tus manos me hicieron y me formaron;
¿Y luego te vuelves y me deshaces?
9 Acuérdate que como a barro me diste forma;
¿Y en polvo me has de volver?
10 ¿No me vaciaste como leche,
Y como queso me cuajaste?
11 Me vestiste de piel y carne,
Y me tejiste con huesos y nervios.
12 Vida y misericordia me concediste,
Y tu cuidado guardó mi espíritu.
13 Estas cosas tienes guardadas en tu corazón;
Yo sé que están cerca de ti.
14 Si pequé, tú me has observado,
Y no me tendrás por limpio de mi iniquidad.
15 Si fuere malo, ¡ay de mí!
Y si fuere justo, no levantaré mi cabeza,
Estando hastiado de deshonra, y de verme afligido.
16 Si mi cabeza se alzare, cual león tú me cazas;
Y vuelves a hacer en mí maravillas.
17 Renuevas contra mí tus pruebas,
Y aumentas conmigo tu furor como tropas de relevo.
18 ¿Por qué me sacaste de la matriz?
Hubiera yo expirado, y ningún ojo me habría visto.
19 Fuera como si nunca hubiera existido,
Llevado del vientre a la sepultura.
20 ¿No son pocos mis días?
Cesa, pues, y déjame, para que me consuele un poco,
21 Antes que vaya para no volver,
A la tierra de tinieblas y de sombra de muerte;
22 Tierra de oscuridad, lóbrega,
Como sombra de muerte y sin orden,
Y cuya luz es como densas tinieblas.
Job 10
King James Version
10 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
