Job 10
Reina Valera Contemporánea
10 »¡Estoy cansado de esta vida!
Voy a dar rienda suelta a mi queja;
voy a hablar con toda la amargura de mi alma.
2 Le diré a Dios: “No me condenes.
Hazme saber qué tienes contra mí.
3 ¿Acaso está bien que me oprimas,
que desprecies esta creación de tus manos
y te pongas de parte de los impíos?
4 ¿Acaso ves con ojos humanos,
con los ojos de simples mortales?
5 ¿Acaso tus días son como los nuestros,
o vives tus años como un simple mortal?
6 ¿Para qué investigar mis faltas?
¿Para qué rebuscar en mi maldad?
7 ”Tú bien sabes que no soy un malvado,
y que nadie puede librarme de tus manos.
8 Tú, con tus propias manos me formaste;
¡me hiciste y me rehiciste!
9 Recuerda que fuiste tú quien me dio forma,
¿y ahora deshaces ese barro que moldeaste?
10 Me batiste, como si batieras leche,
y me hiciste cuajar, como queso.
11 Me recubriste con carne y piel,
y entretejiste mis huesos con mis nervios.
12 Me diste vida y me llenaste de amor;
con tus cuidados protegiste mi espíritu.
13 ”Pero hay cosas que tu corazón se guarda,
y que siempre tienes presentes.
14 Tú me vigilas, y si acaso he pecado,
no me declares limpio de mi maldad.
15 ¡Ay de mí, si hubiera pecado!
¡Pero soy inocente, y no puedo dar la cara!
¡Estoy cansado de verme deshonrado y afligido!
16 Recurres a tus maravillas y me acechas como león;
¡apenas levanto la cabeza, y tú me destruyes!
17 Arremetes contra mí, como ejército impetuoso,
¿pero qué pruebas tienes contra mí?
18 ”¿Por qué me dejaste nacer?
Si yo hubiera muerto, nadie me habría visto.
19 Quisiera no haber existido nunca,
y haber sido llevado del vientre a la sepultura.
20 ¿Acaso no tengo pocos días de vida?
¡Pues déjame tranquilo! ¡Dame un poco de consuelo,
21 antes que me vaya para nunca volver!
Me iré al reino de las sombras y la muerte,
22 al reino de la más profunda oscuridad,
donde la luz se parece a las tinieblas.”»

Job 10
New International Version
10 “I loathe my very life;(A)
therefore I will give free rein to my complaint
and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.(B)
2 I say to God:(C) Do not declare me guilty,
but tell me what charges(D) you have against me.(E)
3 Does it please you to oppress me,(F)
to spurn the work of your hands,(G)
while you smile on the plans of the wicked?(H)
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
Do you see as a mortal sees?(I)
5 Are your days like those of a mortal
or your years like those of a strong man,(J)
6 that you must search out my faults
and probe after my sin(K)—
7 though you know that I am not guilty(L)
and that no one can rescue me from your hand?(M)
8 “Your hands shaped(N) me and made me.
Will you now turn and destroy me?(O)
9 Remember that you molded me like clay.(P)
Will you now turn me to dust again?(Q)
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(R) with bones and sinews?
12 You gave me life(S) and showed me kindness,(T)
and in your providence(U) watched over(V) my spirit.
13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart,
and I know that this was in your mind:(W)
14 If I sinned, you would be watching me(X)
and would not let my offense go unpunished.(Y)
15 If I am guilty(Z)—woe to me!(AA)
Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,(AB)
for I am full of shame
and drowned in[a] my affliction.(AC)
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion(AD)
and again display your awesome power against me.(AE)
17 You bring new witnesses against me(AF)
and increase your anger toward me;(AG)
your forces come against me wave upon wave.(AH)
18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?(AI)
I wish I had died before any eye saw me.(AJ)
19 If only I had never come into being,
or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!(AK)
20 Are not my few days(AL) almost over?(AM)
Turn away from me(AN) so I can have a moment’s joy(AO)
21 before I go to the place of no return,(AP)
to the land of gloom and utter darkness,(AQ)
22 to the land of deepest night,
of utter darkness(AR) and disorder,
where even the light is like darkness.”(AS)

Job Keeps On Talking
10 “I hate my life. I will be free in my complaining. I will show how bitter I am in my soul when I speak. 2 I will say to God, ‘Do not say that I am guilty and punish me. Let me know why You work against me. 3 Do You think it is right for You to make it hard for me, to turn away from the work of Your hands and favor the plans of the sinful? 4 Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as a man sees? 5 Are Your days as the days of man, or Your years as man’s years, 6 that You should look for my wrong-doing and my sin? 7 You know that I am not guilty, yet there is no one who can take me away from Your hand.
8 ‘Your hands put me together and made me, and now would You destroy me? 9 Remember that You have made me as clay. Would You turn me into dust again? 10 Did You not pour me out like milk and make me become hard like cheese? 11 You have given me clothing of skin and flesh, and have tied me together with bones and cord. 12 You have given me life and loving-kindness. Your care has kept my spirit alive. 13 Yet You have hidden these things in Your heart. I know that this is in Your thoughts. 14 If I sin, You would see me, and would not free me from my guilt. 15 If I am sinful, it would be bad for me! If I am right and good, I cannot lift my head for I am filled with shame and see all my trouble. 16 If I would lift up my head, You would hunt me like a lion. Again You would show Your power against me. 17 You would send new ones who would speak against me, and become more angry with me. You would send me more and more trouble.
18 ‘Why then did You let me be born? If only I had died and no one had seen me! 19 I should have been as if I had never lived, carried from my mother to the grave.’ 20 Are not my days few? Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort 21 before I go to a place from which I will not return. I will go to the land of darkness and shadow. 22 It is the land of complete darkness and shadow and trouble, where the light is darkness.”
