Dios Habla Hoy
Job
19 ¿Hasta cuándo van a atormentarme
y herirme con sus palabras?
3 Una y otra vez me insultan;
¿no se avergüenzan de tratarme así?
4 Aun cuando yo fuera culpable,
mi culpa sólo a mí me afectaría.
5 Ustedes se creen mejores que yo,
y me echan en cara mi desgracia.
6 Pues sepan bien que Dios me ha derribado,
que es él quien me ha hecho caer en la trampa.
7 Yo grito: «¡Me matan!», y nadie responde;
pido ayuda, y nadie me hace justicia.
8 Dios me ha cerrado el camino para que yo no pase;
ha envuelto mis caminos en oscuridad.
9 Me ha despojado de mis riquezas;
me ha quitado mi corona.
10 Me ha dejado en la más completa ruina;
¡ha dejado sin raíces mi esperanza!
11 Descargó su ira contra mí
y me trató como a un enemigo.
12 Todas sus tropas se lanzaron contra mí;
acamparon alrededor de mi casa
y prepararon el ataque.
13 Dios ha hecho que mis hermanos y amigos
se alejen de mí y me traten como a un extraño.
14-15 Mis parientes y amigos me han abandonado;
los que vivían en mi casa me han olvidado.
Mis criadas me tienen por un extraño;
ya no me reconocen.
16 Si llamo a un criado, no contesta,
por más que se lo ruegue.
17 Si me acerco a mi esposa, me rechaza;
a mis propios hijos les repugno.
18 Aun los niños me desprecian;
apenas me levanto, hablan mal de mí.
19 Mis más íntimos amigos me aborrecen;
los que más estimo se han vuelto contra mí.
20 La piel se me pega a los huesos,
y a duras penas logro seguir con vida.
21 Tengan compasión de mí, ustedes mis amigos,
porque Dios ha dejado caer su mano sobre mí.
22 ¿Por qué me persiguen ustedes como Dios?
¿No me han mordido ya bastante?
23 ¡Ojalá alguien escribiera mis palabras
y las dejara grabadas en metal!
24 ¡Ojalá alguien con un cincel de hierro
las grabara en plomo o en piedra para siempre!
25 Yo sé que mi defensor vive,
y que él será mi abogado aquí en la tierra.
26 Y aunque la piel se me caiga a pedazos,
yo, en persona, veré a Dios.
27 Con mis propios ojos he de verlo,
yo mismo y no un extraño.
Las fuerzas me fallaron
28 al oír que ustedes decían:
«¿Cómo podremos perseguirlo?
La raíz de sus males está en él mismo.»
29 Pero tengan miedo a la espada,
la espada con que Dios castiga el mal.
Sepan que hay uno que juzga.

Quinta respuesta de Job
19 Job respondió:
2 «Tanta palabrería de ustedes
me atormenta y me lastima;
¿Cuándo van a dejarme en paz?
3 Una y otra vez
me insultan sin compasión.
¡Debería darles vergüenza!
4 Aun cuando yo haya pecado,
eso no les afecta.
5 Lo que ustedes realmente quieren
es sentirse mejores que yo;
se aprovechan de verme humillado
para lanzarme sus ataques.
6 Pero voy a decirles algo:
es Dios quien me hizo daño,
¡es Dios quien me tendió una trampa!
7 »A gritos pido ayuda,
pero nadie me responde,
ni conoce la justicia.
8 Dios no me deja pasar,
me tiene cerrado el camino.
9 Me quitó mis riquezas;
10 me dejó como a un árbol
destrozado y sin raíces.
11 »Tan grande es su enojo contra mí
que me considera su enemigo;
12 me ataca como un ejército,
¡me tiene completamente rodeado!
13 »Dios ha hecho que me abandonen
mis amigos y mis hermanos;
14 también ha hecho que me olviden
mis parientes y conocidos.
15 Los que antes comían en mi mesa,
hoy me ven como a un extraño;
¡aun las jóvenes que me servían
ahora dicen que no me conocen!
16 Pido que mis esclavos me sirvan,
y ni con ruegos me atienden.
17 Tengo tan mal aliento
que nadie en la casa me aguanta.
18-19 Todos mis amigos y seres queridos
se han puesto en mi contra;
¡hasta los niños se burlan de mí!
20 La piel se me pega a los huesos;
¡estoy a un paso de la muerte!
21-22 »Amigos míos,
¡tengan lástima de mí!
Dios se ha vuelto mi enemigo,
no hagan ustedes lo mismo.
23-24 »¡Cómo quisiera que mis palabras
quedaran grabadas para siempre
en una placa de hierro!
25 Yo sé que mi Dios vive,
sé que triunfará sobre la muerte,
y me declarará inocente.
26 Cuando mi cuerpo haya sido destruido,
veré a Dios con mis propios ojos.
27 Estoy seguro de que lo veré,
¡con ansias espero el momento!
28 »Ustedes sólo piensan en perseguirme,
pues creen que soy culpable;
29 pero tengan mucho cuidado.
Dios es el juez de todos nosotros;
cuando él los juzgue,
los castigará con la muerte».

19 Then Job answered and said,
2 How long will ye vex my soul,
And break me in pieces with words?
3 These ten times have ye reproached me:
Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.
4 And be it indeed that I have erred,
Mine error remaineth with myself.
5 [a]If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,
And plead against me my reproach;
6 Know now that God hath [b]subverted me in my cause,
And hath compassed me with his net.
7 Behold, I [c]cry out of wrong, but I am not heard:
I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8 He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass,
And hath set darkness in my paths.
9 He hath stripped me of my glory,
And taken the crown from my head.
10 He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone;
And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree.
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me,
And he counteth me unto him as one of his adversaries.
12 His troops come on together,
And cast up their way against me,
And encamp round about my tent.
13 He hath put my brethren far from me,
And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
14 My kinsfolk have failed,
And my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 They that [d]dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger:
I am an alien in their sight.
16 I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer,
Though I entreat him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife,
And [e]my supplication to the children [f]of mine own mother.
18 Even young children despise me;
If I arise, they speak against me.
19 All [g]my familiar friends abhor me,
And they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh,
And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends;
For the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why do ye persecute me as God,
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 That with an iron pen and lead
They were graven in the rock for ever!
25 [h]But as for me I know that my [i]Redeemer liveth,
And at last he will stand up upon the [j]earth:
26 [k]And after my skin, even this body, is destroyed,
Then without my flesh shall I see God;
27 Whom I, even I, shall see, [l]on my side,
And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.
My [m]heart is consumed within me.
28 If ye say, How we will persecute him!
And that the root of the matter is found in me;
29 Be ye afraid of the sword:
For [n]wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword,
That ye may know there is a judgment.

10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

19 Then Job replied:
2 “How long will you torment(A) me
and crush(B) me with words?
3 Ten times(C) now you have reproached(D) me;
shamelessly you attack me.
4 If it is true that I have gone astray,
my error(E) remains my concern alone.
5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me(F)
and use my humiliation against me,
6 then know that God has wronged me(G)
and drawn his net(H) around me.(I)
7 “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;(J)
though I call for help,(K) there is no justice.(L)
8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;(M)
he has shrouded my paths in darkness.(N)
9 He has stripped(O) me of my honor(P)
and removed the crown from my head.(Q)
10 He tears me down(R) on every side till I am gone;
he uproots my hope(S) like a tree.(T)
11 His anger(U) burns against me;
he counts me among his enemies.(V)
12 His troops advance in force;(W)
they build a siege ramp(X) against me
and encamp around my tent.(Y)
13 “He has alienated my family(Z) from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.(AA)
14 My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends(AB) have forgotten me.
15 My guests(AC) and my female servants(AD) count me a foreigner;
they look on me as on a stranger.
16 I summon my servant, but he does not answer,
though I beg him with my own mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife;
I am loathsome(AE) to my own family.
18 Even the little boys(AF) scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.(AG)
19 All my intimate friends(AH) detest me;(AI)
those I love have turned against me.(AJ)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;(AK)
I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.[a]
21 “Have pity on me, my friends,(AL) have pity,
for the hand of God has struck(AM) me.
22 Why do you pursue(AN) me as God does?(AO)
Will you never get enough of my flesh?(AP)
23 “Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,(AQ)
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool(AR) on[b] lead,
or engraved in rock forever!(AS)
25 I know that my redeemer[c](AT) lives,(AU)
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.[d]
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet[e] in[f] my flesh I will see God;(AV)
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes(AW)—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns(AX) within me!
