Job 9
Reina-Valera 1960

Incapacidad de Job para responder a Dios

9 Respondió Job, y dijo:

2 Ciertamente yo sé que es así;

¿Y cómo se justificará el hombre con Dios?

3 Si quisiere contender con él,

No le podrá responder a una cosa entre mil.

4 Él es sabio de corazón, y poderoso en fuerzas;

¿Quién se endureció contra él, y le fue bien?

5 Él arranca los montes con su furor,

Y no saben quién los trastornó;

6 Él remueve la tierra de su lugar,

Y hace temblar sus columnas;

7 Él manda al sol, y no sale;

Y sella las estrellas;

8 Él solo extendió los cielos,

Y anda sobre las olas del mar;

9 Él hizo la Osa, el Orión y las Pléyades,(A)

Y los lugares secretos del sur;

10 Él hace cosas grandes e incomprensibles,

Y maravillosas, sin número.

11 He aquí que él pasará delante de mí, y yo no lo veré;

Pasará, y no lo entenderé.

12 He aquí, arrebatará; ¿quién le hará restituir?

¿Quién le dirá: Qué haces?

13 Dios no volverá atrás su ira,

Y debajo de él se abaten los que ayudan a los soberbios.

14 ¿Cuánto menos le responderé yo,

Y hablaré con él palabras escogidas?

15 Aunque fuese yo justo, no respondería;

Antes habría de rogar a mi juez.

16 Si yo le invocara, y él me respondiese,

Aún no creeré que haya escuchado mi voz.

17 Porque me ha quebrantado con tempestad,

Y ha aumentado mis heridas sin causa.

18 No me ha concedido que tome aliento,

Sino que me ha llenado de amarguras.

19 Si habláremos de su potencia, por cierto es fuerte;

Si de juicio, ¿quién me emplazará?

20 Si yo me justificare, me condenaría mi boca;

Si me dijere perfecto, esto me haría inicuo.

21 Si fuese íntegro, no haría caso de mí mismo;

Despreciaría mi vida.

22 Una cosa resta que yo diga:

Al perfecto y al impío él los consume.

23 Si azote mata de repente,

Se ríe del sufrimiento de los inocentes.

24 La tierra es entregada en manos de los impíos,

Y él cubre el rostro de sus jueces.

Si no es él, ¿quién es? ¿Dónde está?

25 Mis días han sido más ligeros que un correo;

Huyeron, y no vieron el bien.

26 Pasaron cual naves veloces;

Como el águila que se arroja sobre la presa.

27 Si yo dijere: Olvidaré mi queja,

Dejaré mi triste semblante, y me esforzaré,

28 Me turban todos mis dolores;

Sé que no me tendrás por inocente.

29 Yo soy impío;

¿Para qué trabajaré en vano?

30 Aunque me lave con aguas de nieve,

Y limpie mis manos con la limpieza misma,

31 Aún me hundirás en el hoyo,

Y mis propios vestidos me abominarán.

32 Porque no es hombre como yo, para que yo le responda,

Y vengamos juntamente a juicio.

33 No hay entre nosotros árbitro

Que ponga su mano sobre nosotros dos.

34 Quite de sobre mí su vara,

Y su terror no me espante.

35 Entonces hablaré, y no le temeré;

Porque en este estado no estoy en mí.

Job 9
Lexham English Bible

Job’s Third Speech: A Response to Bildad

9 Then[a] Job answered and said,

2 “Truly I know that it is so,
but[b] how can a human being be just before God?
3 If he wants to contend with him,
he cannot answer him one time in a thousand.
4 He is wise in[c] heart and mighty in[d] strength;
who has resisted him and succeeded?[e]
5 “He is the one who moves mountains, and they do not know how,
who overturns them in his anger.
6 He is the one who shakes the earth from its place,
and its pillars tremble.
7 He is the one who commands the sun, and it does not rise,
and he seals up the stars.[f]
8 He is the one who alone stretches out the heavens
and who tramples on the waves of the sea.
9 He is the one who made the Bear and Orion,
the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
10 He is the one who does great things beyond understanding[g]
and marvelous things beyond number.[h]
11 “If[i] he passes by me, I would not see him;[j]
and if he should move on, I would not recognize him.[k]
12 If[l] he would snatch away, who could turn him?
Who could say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13 God will not turn back his anger;
beneath him the helpers of Rahab bow.
14 How much less[m] can I myself[n] answer him?
How can I choose my words with him,
15 whom I cannot answer, even though I am righteous?
From[o] my judge I must implore grace.
16 If I summon him, and he should answer me,
I do not believe that he will listen to my voice—
17 who crushes me with a tempest
and multiplies[p] my wounds without cause.
18 He will not allow me to catch[q] my breath;
rather, he will fill me with bitterness.
19 If it is a matter of[r] strength, look, he is mighty.
But[s] if it is a matter of[t] justice, who can summon me?[u]
20 Even though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me;
even though I am blameless, yet[v] it would pronounce me guilty.
21 “I am blameless; I do not care about myself;[w]
I loathe my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23 When the whip[x] kills suddenly,
he mocks at the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
he covers the face of its judge—
if it is not he, then who is it?
25 “And my days are swifter than a runner;
they flee away; they do not see good.
26 They go by like papyrus skiffs,
like an eagle swoops down on its prey.
27 Though[y] I say,[z] ‘I will forget my complaint;
I will change my expression, and I will rejoice,’
28 I become afraid of all my sufferings;
I know that you do not consider me innocent.
29 If I shall be declared guilty,
why then should I labor in vain?
30 If I wash myself with soap,[aa]
and I cleanse my hands with lye,
31 then you plunge me into the slime pit,
and my clothes abhor me.
32 “For[ab] he is not a mortal like me that I can answer him,
that we can come to trial together.[ac]
33 There is no arbiter between us
that he might lay his hand on both of us.
34 May he remove his rod from me,
and let his dread not terrify me;
35 then I would speak and not fear him,[ad]
for in myself I am not fearful.[ae]
