Job 17
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
17 »Mi ánimo se agota,
mis días se acortan,
la tumba me espera.
2 Estoy rodeado de burlones;
¡sufren mis ojos su hostilidad!
3 »Dame, oh Dios, la fianza que demandas.
¿Quién más podría responder por mí?
4 Tú has ofuscado su pensamiento,
por eso no dejarás que triunfen.
5 Quien por una recompensa denuncia a sus amigos
verá a sus hijos desfallecer.
6 »Dios me ha puesto en boca de todos;
no falta quien me escupa en la cara.
7 Los ojos se me apagan a causa del dolor;
todo mi esqueleto no es más que una sombra.
8 Los justos ven esto, y se quedan asombrados;
los inocentes se indignan contra el impío,
9 la gente recta se aferra a su camino
y los de manos limpias aumentan su fuerza.
10 »Venid, pues, todos vosotros; ¡arremeted contra mí!
No hallaré entre vosotros a un solo sabio.
11 Mis días van pasando, mis planes se frustran
junto con los anhelos de mi corazón.
12 Esta gente convierte la noche en día;
todo está oscuro, pero insisten:
“La luz se acerca”.
13 Si el único hogar que espero es el sepulcro,
he de tenderme a dormir en las tinieblas;
14 he de llamar “Padre mío” a la corrupción,
y “Madre” y “Hermana” a los gusanos.
15 ¿Dónde queda entonces mi esperanza?
¿Quién ve alguna esperanza para mí?
16 ¿Bajaréis conmigo hasta las puertas de la muerte?
¿Descenderemos juntos hasta el polvo?»

17 “My spirit is broken, my days are quenched,
I am marked for the grave.
2 Mockers are all around me;
my eye meets only their hostility.
3 Be my guarantor, yourself!
Who else will put up a pledge for me?
4 For you have shut their minds to common sense;
therefore you will not let them triumph.
5 Should people share with their friends
when their own children’s eyes are so sad?
6 “He has made me a byword among the peoples,
a creature in whose face they spit.
7 I am nearly blind with grief,
my limbs reduced to a shadow.
8 The upright are perplexed at this,
the innocent aroused against the hypocrites.
9 Yet the righteous hold on to their way,
and those with clean hands grow stronger and stronger.
10 “But as for you all, turn around! Come back! —
yet I won’t find a wise man among you.
11 My days are over, my plans cut off,
which I had cherished so;
12 but they [try to] turn [my] night into day,
[saying,] ‘Light is near!’ — in the face of darkness.
13 “If I hope for Sh’ol to be my house;
if I spread my couch in the dark;
14 if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
and to worms, ‘You are my mother and sister,’
15 then where is my hope?
And that hope of mine, who will see it?
16 Only those who go down with me
to the bars of Sh’ol,
when we rest together in the dust.”
Job 17
New International Version
Job 17
New International Version
17 1 My spirit(A) is broken,
my days are cut short,(B)
the grave awaits me.(C)
2 Surely mockers(D) surround me;(E)
my eyes must dwell on their hostility.
3 “Give me, O God, the pledge you demand.(F)
Who else will put up security(G) for me?(H)
4 You have closed their minds to understanding;(I)
therefore you will not let them triumph.
5 If anyone denounces their friends for reward,(J)
the eyes of their children will fail.(K)
6 “God has made me a byword(L) to everyone,(M)
a man in whose face people spit.(N)
7 My eyes have grown dim with grief;(O)
my whole frame is but a shadow.(P)
8 The upright are appalled at this;
the innocent are aroused(Q) against the ungodly.
9 Nevertheless, the righteous(R) will hold to their ways,
and those with clean hands(S) will grow stronger.(T)
10 “But come on, all of you, try again!
I will not find a wise man among you.(U)
11 My days have passed,(V) my plans are shattered.
Yet the desires of my heart(W)
12 turn night into day;(X)
in the face of the darkness light is near.(Y)
13 If the only home I hope for is the grave,(Z)
if I spread out my bed(AA) in the realm of darkness,(AB)
14 if I say to corruption,(AC) ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm,(AD) ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope—(AE)
who can see any hope for me?(AF)
16 Will it go down to the gates of death?(AG)
Will we descend together into the dust?”(AH)
