Job 2
La Palabra (España)
2 Un día se presentaron ante el Señor los hijos de Dios; también Satán entró con ellos.
2 El Señor preguntó a Satán:
— ¿De dónde vienes?
Satán respondió al Señor:
— Vengo de dar vueltas por la tierra; de andar por ella.
3 El Señor añadió:
— ¿Te has fijado en mi siervo Job? En la tierra no hay otro como él: es un hombre justo, honrado y respetuoso de Dios, y vive apartado del mal. Pero tú me has incitado contra él para que lo aniquilara sin motivo; sin embargo, todavía persiste en su honradez.
4 Satán contestó al Señor:
— Piel por piel; cualquiera lo da todo por salvar su vida. 5 Te apuesto que si pones la mano sobre él y lo hieres en su carne y en sus huesos, te maldecirá a la cara.
6 El Señor respondió a Satán:
— Haz lo que quieras con él, pero respétale la vida.
Satán abandonó la presencia del Señor.
7 Entonces hirió a Job con llagas malignas, desde la planta del pie hasta la cabeza. 8 Job, sentado en el polvo, se rascaba con una tejuela. 9 Su mujer le dijo:
— ¿Todavía persistes en tu honradez? Maldice a Dios y muérete.
10 Job contestó:
— Hablas como una insensata. Si aceptamos de Dios los bienes, ¿no vamos a aceptar los males?
A pesar de lo ocurrido, Job no pecó con sus labios.
Entreacto
11 Tres amigos de Job, cuando se enteraron de las desgracias que había sufrido, llegaron desde sus respectivos países. Eran Elifaz de Temán, Bildad de Súaj y Sofar de Naamat, que se pusieron de acuerdo para ir a compartir su pena y consolarlo. 12 Lo vieron de lejos pero no lo reconocieron; entonces rompieron a llorar, se rasgaron el manto y echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas y hacia el cielo. 13 Después se sentaron junto a Job en el suelo y estuvieron siete días y siete noches; pero ninguno le decía nada, viendo su terrible sufrimiento.
Job 2
Revised Geneva Translation
2 And one day, the children of God came and stood before the LORD. And Satan also came among them and stood before the LORD.
2 Then the LORD said to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going to and fro on the Earth, and from walking in it.”
3 And the LORD said to Satan, “Have you not considered My servant, Job, how no one is like him on the Earth, an upright and just man, one who fears God and turns away from evil? For he still continues in his uprightness, although you moved Me against him, to destroy him without cause.”
4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin! And all that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 “But now, stretch out Your Hand and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme You to Your Face.”
6 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Lo, he is in your hand. But preserve his life.”
7 So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils, from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself. And he sat down among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your uprightness? Blaspheme God and die!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak like a foolish woman. What? Shall we receive good from the Hand of God, and not receive misery?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Now, when Job’s three friends heard of all this calamity that had come upon him, they came, everyone from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed together to come to lament with him, and to comfort him.
12 So, when they lifted up their eyes from far off, they did not know him. Therefore, they lifted up their voices and wept. And every one of them tore his garment and sprinkled dust upon his head, toward the sky.
13 So they sat by him, upon the ground, for seven days and seven nights. And no one spoke a word to him. For they saw that the grief was very great.
