Job Says Friends Are Miserable Comforters
16 Then Job responded,
2 “I have heard many things like these;
[a](A)Miserable comforters are you all!
3 Is there no end to (B)windy words?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I too could speak like you,
If only [b]I were in your place.
I could compose words against you
And (C)shake my head at you.
5 Or I could strengthen you with my mouth,
And the condolence of my lips could lessen your pain.
Job Says God Shattered Him
6 “If I speak, (D)my pain is not lessened,
And if I refrain, what pain leaves me?
7 But now He has (E)exhausted me;
You have laid (F)waste all my group of loved ones.
8 And You have shriveled me up,
[c](G)It has become a witness;
And my (H)infirmity rises up against me,
It testifies to my face.
9 His anger has (I)torn me and [d]hunted me down,
He has (J)gnashed at me with His teeth;
My (K)enemy [e]glares at me.
10 They have (L)gaped at me with their mouths,
They have [f](M)slapped me on the cheek with contempt;
They have (N)massed themselves against me.
11 God hands me over to criminals,
And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but (O)He shattered me,
And He has grasped me by my neck and shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His (P)target.
13 His (Q)arrows surround me.
He splits my kidneys open without mercy;
He pours out (R)my bile on the ground.
14 He (S)breaks through me with breach after breach;
He (T)runs at me like a warrior.
15 I have sewed (U)sackcloth over my skin,
And (V)thrust my horn in the dust.
16 My face is flushed from (W)weeping,
(X)And deep darkness is on my eyelids,
17 Although there is no (Y)violence in my hands,
And (Z)my prayer is pure.
18 “Earth, do not cover my blood,
And may there be no resting place for my cry.
19 Even now, behold, (AA)my witness is in heaven,
And my [g]advocate is (AB)on high.
20 My friends are my scoffers;
(AC)My eye weeps to God,
21 That one might plead for a man with God
As a son of man with his neighbor!
22 For when a few years are past,
I shall go the way (AD)of no return.

Resposta de Jó (Caps. 16—17)
Um montão de palavras
16 Então em resposta Jó disse:
2 “Já ouvi tudo isso antes;
em vez de me consolarem, vocês me atormentam.
3 Será que essas palavras ocas não têm fim?
Por que vocês não param de me provocar?
4 Se vocês estivessem no meu lugar,
eu também poderia dizer o que estão dizendo.
Eu balançaria a cabeça, com um jeito de sábio,
e os esmagaria com um montão de palavras.
5 Ou poderia dizer palavras de ânimo e consolo
para diminuir os seus sofrimentos.
6 Mas, se falo, a minha dor não se acalma,
e, se me calo, o meu sofrimento não diminui.
Deus me esmagou
7 “Tu, ó Deus, me deixaste sem forças
e destruíste toda a minha família.
8 Tu me puseste numa prisão, e por isso me acusam.
Virei pele e osso,
e por isso os outros pensam que sou culpado.
9 “Na sua ira Deus me arrasou completamente;
ele olha para mim com ódio
e, como uma fera, me persegue e ameaça.
10 Todos me ameaçam,
abrem a boca para zombar de mim
e me dão bofetadas para me humilhar.
11 Deus me entregou a homens perversos;
ele me fez cair nas mãos de gente má.
12 Eu vivia em paz, mas ele me esmagou;
Deus me pegou pela garganta e me quebrou.
Ele fez de mim o seu alvo
13 e de todos os lados disparou as suas flechas;
elas atravessaram os meus rins, sem dó nem piedade,
e também a minha bílis correu pelo chão.
14 Como um soldado, ele avançou contra mim
e me arrebentou todo, com golpes e mais golpes.
15 “Em sinal de tristeza, vesti uma roupa feita de pano grosseiro
e, humilhado, sentei-me no pó.
16 Tenho chorado tanto, que o meu rosto está queimando,
e estou com olheiras fundas e escuras.
17 No entanto, nunca fui violento,
e as minhas orações sempre foram sinceras.
No céu tenho quem me defende
18 “Ó terra, não esconda as injustiças que fizeram contra mim!
Não deixe que seja abafado o meu grito pedindo justiça!
19 Eu sei que no céu tenho quem me defenda;
o meu advogado lá está.
20 Os meus amigos zombam de mim;
e eu me volto para Deus com lágrimas nos olhos.
21 Assim como alguém defende o seu amigo,
eu preciso de quem defenda o meu direito diante de Deus.
22 Os meus anos de vida estão contados,
e eu vou pelo caminho que não tem retorno.

16 Then Job replied:
2 “I have heard many things like these;
you are miserable comforters,(A) all of you!(B)
3 Will your long-winded speeches never end?(C)
What ails you that you keep on arguing?(D)
4 I also could speak like you,
if you were in my place;
I could make fine speeches against you
and shake my head(E) at you.
5 But my mouth would encourage you;
comfort(F) from my lips would bring you relief.(G)
6 “Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved;
and if I refrain, it does not go away.(H)
7 Surely, God, you have worn me out;(I)
you have devastated my entire household.(J)
8 You have shriveled me up—and it has become a witness;
my gauntness(K) rises up and testifies against me.(L)
9 God assails me and tears(M) me in his anger(N)
and gnashes his teeth at me;(O)
my opponent fastens on me his piercing eyes.(P)
10 People open their mouths(Q) to jeer at me;(R)
they strike my cheek(S) in scorn
and unite together against me.(T)
11 God has turned me over to the ungodly
and thrown me into the clutches of the wicked.(U)
12 All was well with me, but he shattered me;
he seized me by the neck and crushed me.(V)
He has made me his target;(W)
13 his archers surround me.(X)
Without pity, he pierces(Y) my kidneys
and spills my gall on the ground.
14 Again and again(Z) he bursts upon me;
he rushes at me like a warrior.(AA)
15 “I have sewed sackcloth(AB) over my skin
and buried my brow in the dust.(AC)
16 My face is red with weeping,(AD)
dark shadows ring my eyes;(AE)
17 yet my hands have been free of violence(AF)
and my prayer is pure.(AG)
18 “Earth, do not cover my blood;(AH)
may my cry(AI) never be laid to rest!(AJ)
19 Even now my witness(AK) is in heaven;(AL)
my advocate is on high.(AM)
20 My intercessor(AN) is my friend[a](AO)
as my eyes pour out(AP) tears(AQ) to God;
21 on behalf of a man he pleads(AR) with God
as one pleads for a friend.
22 “Only a few years will pass
before I take the path of no return.(AS)
