Dios permite que Job caiga en la miseria
1 En la región de Us había un hombre llamado Job, que vivía una vida recta y sin tacha, y que era un fiel servidor de Dios, cuidadoso de no hacer mal a nadie. 2 Job tenía siete hijos y tres hijas, 3 y era dueño de siete mil ovejas, tres mil camellos, quinientas yuntas de bueyes y quinientas asnas. Tenía también un gran número de esclavos. Era el hombre más rico de todo el oriente.
4 Los hijos de Job acostumbraban celebrar banquetes en casa de cada uno de ellos, por turno, y siempre invitaban a sus tres hermanas. 5 Terminados los días del banquete, Job llamaba a sus hijos y, levantándose de mañana, ofrecía holocaustos por cada uno de ellos, para purificarlos de su pecado. Esto lo hacía Job siempre, pensando que sus hijos podían haber pecado maldiciendo a Dios en su interior.
6 Un día en que debían presentarse ante el Señor sus servidores celestiales, se presentó también el ángel acusador entre ellos. 7 El Señor le preguntó:
—¿De dónde vienes?
Y el acusador contestó:
—He andado recorriendo la tierra de un lado a otro.
8 Entonces le dijo el Señor:
—¿Te has fijado en mi siervo Job? No hay nadie en la tierra como él, que me sirva tan fielmente y viva una vida tan recta y sin tacha, cuidando de no hacer mal a nadie.
9 Pero el acusador respondió:
—Pues no de balde te sirve con tanta fidelidad. 10 Tú no dejas que nadie lo toque, ni a él ni a su familia ni a nada de lo que tiene; tú bendices todo lo que hace, y él es el hombre más rico en ganado de todo el país. 11 Pero quítale todo lo que tiene y verás cómo te maldice en tu propia cara.
12 El Señor respondió al acusador:
—Está bien. Haz lo que quieras con todas las cosas de Job, con tal de que a él mismo no le hagas ningún daño.
Entonces el acusador se retiró de la presencia del Señor.
13 Un día, mientras los hijos y las hijas de Job estaban celebrando un banquete en casa del hermano mayor, 14 un hombre llegó a casa de Job y le dio esta noticia:
—Estábamos arando el campo con los bueyes, y las asnas estaban pastando cerca; 15 de repente llegaron los sabeos, y se robaron el ganado y mataron a cuchillo a los hombres. Sólo yo pude escapar para venir a avisarte.
16 Aún no había terminado de hablar aquel hombre, cuando llegó otro y dijo:
—Cayó un rayo y mató a los pastores y las ovejas. Sólo yo pude escapar para venir a avisarte.
17 Aún no había terminado de hablar ese hombre, cuando llegó un tercero y dijo:
—Tres grupos de caldeos nos atacaron y se robaron los camellos, y mataron a cuchillo a los hombres. Sólo yo pude escapar para venir a avisarte.
18 Aún no había terminado de hablar este hombre, cuando llegó uno más y dijo:
—Tus hijos y tus hijas estaban celebrando un banquete en la casa de tu hijo mayor, 19 cuando de pronto un viento del desierto vino y sacudió la casa por los cuatro costados, derrumbándola sobre tus hijos. Todos ellos murieron. Sólo yo pude escapar para venir a avisarte.
20 Entonces Job se levantó, y lleno de dolor se rasgó la ropa, se rapó la cabeza y se inclinó en actitud de adoración. 21 Entonces dijo:
—Desnudo vine a este mundo, y desnudo saldré de él. El Señor me lo dio todo, y el Señor me lo quitó; ¡bendito sea el nombre del Señor!
22 Así pues, a pesar de todo, Job no pecó ni dijo nada malo contra Dios.

Prologue
1 In the land of Uz(A) there lived a man whose name was Job.(B) This man was blameless(C) and upright;(D) he feared God(E) and shunned evil.(F) 2 He had seven sons(G) and three daughters,(H) 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys,(I) and had a large number of servants.(J) He was the greatest man(K) among all the people of the East.(L)
4 His sons used to hold feasts(M) in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(N) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(O) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(P) and cursed God(Q) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6 One day the angels[a](R) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b](S) also came with them.(T) 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”(U)
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?(V) There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God(W) and shuns evil.”(X)
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?”(Y) Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge(Z) around him and his household and everything he has?(AA) You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.(AB) 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has,(AC) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(AD)
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has(AE) is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”(AF)
Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters(AG) were feasting(AH) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing(AI) nearby, 15 and the Sabeans(AJ) attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens(AK) and burned up the sheep and the servants,(AL) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans(AM) formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters(AN) were feasting(AO) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind(AP) swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead,(AQ) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!(AR)”
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe(AS) and shaved his head.(AT) Then he fell to the ground in worship(AU) 21 and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.[c](AV)
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;(AW)
may the name of the Lord be praised.”(AX)
22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.(AY)

Job and His Family in Uz
1 There was a man (A)in the land of Uz, whose name was (B)Job; and that man was (C)blameless and upright, and one who (D)feared God and [a]shunned evil. 2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him. 3 Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the [b]people of the East.
4 And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and [c]sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning (E)and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and (F)cursed[d] God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.
Satan Attacks Job’s Character
6 Now (G)there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and [e]Satan also came among them. 7 And the Lord said to [f]Satan, “From where do you come?”
So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From (H)going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you [g]considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and [h]shuns evil?”
9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 (I)Have You not [i]made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? (J)You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 (K)But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely (L)curse[j] You to Your face!”
12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your [k]power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”
So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
Job Loses His Property and Children
13 Now there was a day (M)when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house; 14 and a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them, 15 when the [l]Sabeans [m]raided them and took them away—indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and [n]consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, (N)“Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19 and suddenly a great wind came from [o]across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
20 Then Job arose, (O)tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he (P)fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said:
(Q)“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord (R)gave, and the Lord has (S)taken away;
(T)Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 (U)In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
