Job 17
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

17 »Mi espíritu está quebrantado, mis días extinguidos,
El sepulcro[a] está preparado para mí(A).
2 -»No hay sino escarnecedores conmigo(B),
Y mis ojos ven[b] su provocación.
3 ¶»Coloca, pues, junto a Ti una fianza para mí(C);
¿Quién hay que quiera ser mi fiador[c]?
4 -»Porque has escondido su corazón del entendimiento(D),
Por tanto no los exaltarás.
5 -»Al que denuncie a sus amigos por una parte del botín(E),
A sus hijos se les debilitarán los ojos(F).
6 ¶»Porque Él me ha hecho burla(G) del pueblo,
Y soy uno a quien los hombres escupen[d](H).
7 -»Mis ojos[e] se oscurecen también por el sufrimiento(I),
Y todos mis miembros son como una sombra(J).
8 -»Los hombres rectos se quedarán pasmados de esto,
Y el inocente(K) se indignará contra el impío.
9 -»Sin embargo, el justo se mantendrá en su camino(L),
Y el de manos limpias se fortalecerá(M) más y más.
10 -»Pero vuélvanse todos ustedes, y vengan[f] ahora,
Pues no hallo entre ustedes a ningún sabio(N).
11 -»Mis días han pasado(O), se deshicieron mis planes,
Los deseos de mi corazón.
12 -»Algunos convierten la noche en día, diciendo:
“La luz está cerca”, en presencia de las tinieblas.
13 -»Si espero que el Seol[g] sea mi casa(P),
Hago mi lecho en las tinieblas;
14 Si digo al hoyo: “Mi padre eres tú”,
Y al gusano(Q): “Mi madre y mi hermana”.
15 -»¿Dónde está, pues, mi esperanza(R)?
Y mi esperanza ¿quién la verá?
16 -»¿Descenderá conmigo(S) al Seol?
¿Nos hundiremos juntos en el polvo?[h]».

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)

Job Seeks Hope

17 “My spirit is broken; my days are extinguished;
The [a](A)grave is ready for me.
2 (B)Surely mockers are with me,
And my eye [b]gazes on their provocation.

3 “Establish, now, a pledge (C)for me with Yourself;
Who is there that will clap my hand in pledge?
4 For You have (D)hidden their heart from insight,
Therefore You will not exalt them.
5 He who (E)informs against friends for a share of the spoil,
The (F)eyes of his children also will come to an end.

6 “But He has made me a (G)byword of the people,
And I am [c]one at whom men (H)spit.
7 My eye has also grown (I)dim because of grief,
And all my (J)members are as a shadow.
8 The upright will be appalled at this,
And the (K)innocent will stir up himself against the godless.
9 Nevertheless (L)the righteous will hold to his way,
And (M)he who has clean hands will grow mightier and mightier.
10 But come again all of [d]you now,
For I (N)do not find a wise man among you.
11 My (O)days are past; my plans are torn apart,
Even the wishes of my heart.
12 They make night into day, saying,
‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness.
13 If I hope for (P)Sheol as my home,
I [e]make my bed in the darkness;
14 If I call to the (Q)pit, ‘You are my father’;
To the (R)worm, ‘my mother and my sister’;
15 Where now is (S)my hope?
And who beholds my hope?
16 [f]Will it go down with me to Sheol?
Shall we together (T)go down into the dust?”
