Job 34
Nueva Traducción Viviente
Eliú acusa a Job de arrogancia
34 Entonces Eliú dijo:
2 «Escúchenme, ustedes hombres sabios;
presten atención, ustedes que tienen conocimiento.
3 Job dijo: “El oído pone a prueba las palabras que oye,
igual que la boca distingue los sabores”.
4 Así que, juzguemos por nosotros mismos lo que es correcto;
aprendamos juntos lo que es bueno.
5 Pues Job también dijo: “Yo soy inocente,
pero Dios ha quitado mis derechos.
6 Soy inocente, pero me llaman mentiroso;
mi sufrimiento es incurable, aunque yo no haya pecado”.
7 »Díganme, ¿hubo una vez un hombre como Job,
con sed de conversaciones irreverentes?
8 Él escoge como compañeros a hombres malvados;
pasa su tiempo con hombres perversos.
9 Ha llegado a decir: “¿Por qué malgastar el tiempo
intentando agradar a Dios?”.
10 »Escúchenme, ustedes que tienen entendimiento.
¡Todo el mundo sabe que Dios no peca!
El Todopoderoso no puede hacer nada malo.
11 Él paga a las personas según lo que hayan hecho;
las trata como se merecen.
12 En verdad, Dios no hará el mal;
el Todopoderoso no torcerá la justicia.
13 ¿Algún otro puso la tierra al cuidado de Dios?
¿Quién colocó al mundo en su sitio?
14 Si Dios retirara su espíritu
y quitara su aliento,
15 todos los seres vivientes dejarían de existir
y la humanidad volvería al polvo.
16 »Ahora escúchame, si eres sabio;
presta atención a lo que digo.
17 ¿Podría Dios gobernar si odiara la justicia?
¿Condenarás al juez todopoderoso?
18 Pues él dice a los reyes: “Ustedes son malvados”,
y a los nobles: “Ustedes son injustos”.
19 A él no le importa la grandeza que pueda tener una persona
y no presta más atención al rico que al pobre;
él creó a todos.
20 En un instante mueren;
fallecen en la mitad de la noche;
los poderosos se van sin la intervención de mano humana.
21 »Pues Dios observa cómo vive la gente;
ve todo lo que ellos hacen.
22 No hay oscuridad tan densa
que pueda esconder a los malos de sus ojos.
23 No decidimos nosotros el momento
de presentarnos ante Dios para ser juzgados.
24 Él lleva a los poderosos a la ruina sin consultar a nadie,
y pone a otros en su lugar.
25 Él sabe lo que hacen,
y por la noche los vence y los destruye.
26 Los derriba porque son malvados;
lo hace abiertamente para que todos lo vean.
27 Pues se apartaron y dejaron de seguirlo;
no respetan ninguno de sus caminos.
28 Hacen que los pobres clamen, y esto atrae la atención de Dios;
él oye los clamores de los necesitados.
29 Sin embargo, si él opta por quedarse callado,
¿quién puede criticarlo?
Cuando esconde su rostro, nadie puede encontrarlo,
ya sea un individuo o una nación.
30 Él no deja que los incrédulos gobiernen,
para que no sean una trampa para la gente.
31 »¿Por qué la gente no le dice a Dios: “He pecado
pero no volveré a pecar”?
32 O bien: “No sé qué mal hice, dímelo;
si he actuado mal, me detendré de inmediato”.
33 »¿Debe Dios adaptar su justicia a tus exigencias
a pesar de que lo hayas rechazado?
La elección es tuya, no mía.
Adelante, haznos partícipes de tu sabiduría.
34 Después de todo, las personas inteligentes me dirán
y la gente sabia me oirá decir:
35 “Job habla por ignorancia;
sus palabras carecen de percepción”.
36 Job, te mereces la pena máxima
por tu manera malvada de responder.
37 Pues a tu pecado has añadido rebelión;
no muestras ningún respeto
y dices muchas palabras de enojo contra Dios».
Job 34
New International Version
Job 34
New International Version
34 Then Elihu said:
2 “Hear my words, you wise men;
listen to me,(A) you men of learning.
3 For the ear tests words
as the tongue tastes food.(B)
4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right;(C)
let us learn together what is good.(D)
5 “Job says, ‘I am innocent,(E)
but God denies me justice.(F)
6 Although I am right,
I am considered a liar;(G)
although I am guiltless,(H)
his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.’(I)
7 Is there anyone like Job,
who drinks scorn like water?(J)
8 He keeps company with evildoers;
he associates with the wicked.(K)
9 For he says, ‘There is no profit
in trying to please God.’(L)
10 “So listen to me,(M) you men of understanding.(N)
Far be it from God to do evil,(O)
from the Almighty to do wrong.(P)
11 He repays everyone for what they have done;(Q)
he brings on them what their conduct deserves.(R)
12 It is unthinkable that God would do wrong,(S)
that the Almighty would pervert justice.(T)
13 Who appointed(U) him over the earth?
Who put him in charge of the whole world?(V)
14 If it were his intention
and he withdrew his spirit[a](W) and breath,(X)
15 all humanity would perish(Y) together
and mankind would return to the dust.(Z)
16 “If you have understanding,(AA) hear this;
listen to what I say.(AB)
17 Can someone who hates justice govern?(AC)
Will you condemn the just and mighty One?(AD)
18 Is he not the One who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’
and to nobles,(AE) ‘You are wicked,’(AF)
19 who shows no partiality(AG) to princes
and does not favor the rich over the poor,(AH)
for they are all the work of his hands?(AI)
20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night;(AJ)
the people are shaken and they pass away;
the mighty are removed without human hand.(AK)
21 “His eyes are on the ways of mortals;(AL)
he sees their every step.(AM)
22 There is no deep shadow,(AN) no utter darkness,(AO)
where evildoers can hide.(AP)
23 God has no need to examine people further,(AQ)
that they should come before him for judgment.(AR)
24 Without inquiry he shatters(AS) the mighty(AT)
and sets up others in their place.(AU)
25 Because he takes note of their deeds,(AV)
he overthrows them in the night(AW) and they are crushed.(AX)
26 He punishes them for their wickedness(AY)
where everyone can see them,
27 because they turned from following him(AZ)
and had no regard for any of his ways.(BA)
28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before him,
so that he heard the cry of the needy.(BB)
29 But if he remains silent,(BC) who can condemn him?(BD)
If he hides his face,(BE) who can see him?
Yet he is over individual and nation alike,(BF)
30 to keep the godless(BG) from ruling,(BH)
from laying snares for the people.(BI)
31 “Suppose someone says to God,
‘I am guilty(BJ) but will offend no more.
32 Teach me what I cannot see;(BK)
if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.’(BL)
33 Should God then reward you on your terms,
when you refuse to repent?(BM)
You must decide, not I;
so tell me what you know.
34 “Men of understanding declare,
wise men who hear me say to me,
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge;(BN)
his words lack insight.’(BO)
36 Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost
for answering like a wicked man!(BP)
37 To his sin he adds rebellion;
scornfully he claps his hands(BQ) among us
and multiplies his words(BR) against God.”(BS)

Job 34
King James Version
34 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
2 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
10 Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
19 How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
