Job 11
La Biblia de las Américas

Acusación de Zofar contra Job

11 Entonces respondió Zofar naamatita, y dijo:

2 ¿Quedará sin respuesta esa multitud de palabras,
y será absuelto el que mucho habla(A)?
3 ¿Harán tus jactancias callar a los hombres?
¿Harás escarnio(B) sin que nadie te reprenda?
4 Pues has dicho: «Mi enseñanza es pura(C),
y soy inocente ante tus ojos(D)».
5 Mas, ¡quién diera que Dios hablara,
abriera sus labios contra ti
6 y te declarara los secretos de la sabiduría!;
porque la verdadera sabiduría tiene dos lados[a](E).
Sabrías entonces que Dios olvida[b] parte de tu iniquidad(F).

7 ¿Descubrirás tú las profundidades de Dios?
¿Descubrirás los límites del Todopoderoso[c](G)?
8 Altos son como los cielos[d](H); ¿qué harás tú?
Más profundos son que el Seol[e](I); ¿qué puedes tú saber?
9 Más extensa que la tierra es su dimensión,
y más ancha que el mar.
10 Si Él pasa, o encierra,
o convoca una asamblea, ¿quién podrá estorbarle(J)?
11 Porque Él conoce a los hombres falsos(K),
y ve la iniquidad sin investigar[f](L).
12 Y el hombre tonto[g](M) se hará inteligente
cuando el pollino[h] de un asno montés(N) nazca hombre.

13 (O)Si diriges bien tu corazón(P)
y extiendes a Él tu mano[i](Q),
14 si en tu mano hay iniquidad y la alejas de ti
y no permites que la maldad more en tus tiendas(R),
15 entonces, ciertamente levantarás tu rostro(S) sin mancha,
estarás firme y no temerás(T).
16 Porque olvidarás(U) tu aflicción,
como aguas(V) que han pasado la recordarás.
17 Tu vida[j] será más radiante que[k] el mediodía,
y hasta la oscuridad será como la mañana(W).
18 Entonces confiarás, porque hay esperanza,
mirarás alrededor y te acostarás seguro.
19 Descansarás y nadie te atemorizará(X),
y muchos procurarán tu favor[l](Y).
20 Pero los ojos de los malvados languidecerán(Z),
y no habrá escape[m] para ellos(AA);
su esperanza(AB) es dar su último suspiro[n](AC).

Job 11
Lexham English Bible

Zophar’s First Response to Job

11 Then[a] Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

2 “Should an abundance of words go unanswered,
or a man full of talk[b] be vindicated?[c]
3 Should your loose talk put people to silence?
And when you mock, shall no one put you to shame?[d]
4 For you say, ‘My teaching is pure,
and I am clean in your sight.’
5 But,[e] O that[f] God might speak,
and that he would open his lips to you,
6 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom,
for insight has many sides.[g]
And know that God on your behalf[h] has forgotten some of[i] your guilt.
7 “Can you find out the essence of God,
or can you find out the ultimate limits[j] of Shaddai?
8 It is higher than the heaven;[k] what can you do?
It is deeper than Sheol; what can you know?
9 Its measure is longer than the earth
and broader than the sea.
10 “If he passes through and imprisons someone[l]
and summons the assembly,[m] then[n] who can hinder him?
11 For he knows those who are worthless;[o]
when he sees[p] iniquity, he will not consider it.[q]
12 But[r] an empty-headed person[s] will get understanding
when[t] a wild donkey’s colt is born as a human being.
13 “If you yourself[u] direct your heart
and stretch out your hands to him—
14 if iniquity[v] is in your hand, put it far away,
and you must not let wickedness reside in your tents—
15 surely then you will lift up your face without[w] blemish,
and you will be firmly established and will not fear.[x]
16 For you yourself[y] will forget your misery;
you will remember it as water that has flowed past.
17 “And your life will be brighter than noon;[z]
its darkness will be like the morning.
18 And you will have confidence because there is hope;
and you will be well protected—you will sleep in safety.[aa]
19 And you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid;[ab]
and many will entreat your favor.[ac]
20 But[ad] the eyes of the wicked will fail;
and refuge will be lost to them,
and their hope is to breathe their last breath.”[ae]
