Job afirma su integridad
31 Hice pacto con mis ojos;
¿Cómo, pues, había yo de mirar a una virgen?
2 Porque ¿qué galardón me daría de arriba Dios,
Y qué heredad el Omnipotente desde las alturas?
3 ¿No hay quebrantamiento para el impío,
Y extrañamiento para los que hacen iniquidad?
4 ¿No ve él mis caminos,
Y cuenta todos mis pasos?
5 Si anduve con mentira,
Y si mi pie se apresuró a engaño,
6 Péseme Dios en balanzas de justicia,
Y conocerá mi integridad.
7 Si mis pasos se apartaron del camino,
Si mi corazón se fue tras mis ojos,
Y si algo se pegó a mis manos,
8 Siembre yo, y otro coma,
Y sea arrancada mi siembra.
9 Si fue mi corazón engañado acerca de mujer,
Y si estuve acechando a la puerta de mi prójimo,
10 Muela para otro mi mujer,
Y sobre ella otros se encorven.
11 Porque es maldad e iniquidad
Que han de castigar los jueces.
12 Porque es fuego que devoraría hasta el Abadón,
Y consumiría toda mi hacienda.
13 Si hubiera tenido en poco el derecho de mi siervo y de mi sierva,
Cuando ellos contendían conmigo,
14 ¿Qué haría yo cuando Dios se levantase?
Y cuando él preguntara, ¿qué le respondería yo?
15 El que en el vientre me hizo a mí, ¿no lo hizo a él?
¿Y no nos dispuso uno mismo en la matriz?
16 Si estorbé el contento de los pobres,
E hice desfallecer los ojos de la viuda;
17 Si comí mi bocado solo,
Y no comió de él el huérfano
18 (Porque desde mi juventud creció conmigo como con un padre,
Y desde el vientre de mi madre fui guía de la viuda);
19 Si he visto que pereciera alguno sin vestido,
Y al menesteroso sin abrigo;
20 Si no me bendijeron sus lomos,
Y del vellón de mis ovejas se calentaron;
21 Si alcé contra el huérfano mi mano,
Aunque viese que me ayudaran en la puerta;
22 Mi espalda se caiga de mi hombro,
Y el hueso de mi brazo sea quebrado.
23 Porque temí el castigo de Dios,
Contra cuya majestad yo no tendría poder.
24 Si puse en el oro mi esperanza,
Y dije al oro: Mi confianza eres tú;
25 Si me alegré de que mis riquezas se multiplicasen,
Y de que mi mano hallase mucho;
26 Si he mirado al sol cuando resplandecía,
O a la luna cuando iba hermosa,
27 Y mi corazón se engañó en secreto,
Y mi boca besó mi mano;
28 Esto también sería maldad juzgada;
Porque habría negado al Dios soberano.
29 Si me alegré en el quebrantamiento del que me aborrecía,
Y me regocijé cuando le halló el mal
30 (Ni aun entregué al pecado mi lengua,
Pidiendo maldición para su alma);
31 Si mis siervos no decían:
¿Quién no se ha saciado de su carne?
32 (El forastero no pasaba fuera la noche;
Mis puertas abría al caminante);
33 Si encubrí como hombre mis transgresiones,
Escondiendo en mi seno mi iniquidad,
34 Porque tuve temor de la gran multitud,
Y el menosprecio de las familias me atemorizó,
Y callé, y no salí de mi puerta;
35 ¡Quién me diera quien me oyese!
He aquí mi confianza es que el Omnipotente testificará por mí,
Aunque mi adversario me forme proceso.
36 Ciertamente yo lo llevaría sobre mi hombro,
Y me lo ceñiría como una corona.
37 Yo le contaría el número de mis pasos,
Y como príncipe me presentaría ante él.
38 Si mi tierra clama contra mí,
Y lloran todos sus surcos;
39 Si comí su sustancia sin dinero,
O afligí el alma de sus dueños,
40 En lugar de trigo me nazcan abrojos,
Y espinos en lugar de cebada.
Aquí terminan las palabras de Job.

31 “I made a covenant with my eyes
not to let them lust after any girl.
2 “What share does God give from above?
What is the heritage from Shaddai on high?
3 Isn’t it calamity to the unrighteous?
disaster to those who do evil?
4 Doesn’t he see my ways
and count all my steps?
5 “If I have gone along with falsehood,
if my feet have hurried to deceit;
6 then let me be weighed on an honest scale,
so that God will know my integrity.
7 “If my steps have wandered from the way,
if my heart has followed my eyes,
if the least dirt has stuck to my hands;
8 then let me sow and someone else eat,
let what grows from my fields be uprooted.
9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door;
10 then let my wife grind for another man,
and let others kneel on her.
11 For that would be a heinous act,
a criminal offense,
12 a fire that would burn to the depths of Abaddon,
uprooting all I produce.
13 “If I ever rejected my slave or slave-girl’s cause,
when they brought legal action against me;
14 then what would I do if God stood up?
Were he to intervene, what answer could I give?
15 Didn’t he who made me in the womb make them too?
Didn’t the same one shape us both before our birth?
16 “If I held back anything needed by the poor
or made a widow’s eye grow dim [with tears],
17 or ate my portion of food by myself,
without letting the orphan eat any of it —
18 No! From my youth he grew up
with me as if with a father,
and I have been her guide
from my mother’s womb! —
19 or if I saw a traveler needing clothing,
someone in need who had no covering,
20 who didn’t bless me from his heart
for being warmed with the fleece from my sheep,
21 or if I lifted my hand against an orphan,
knowing that no one would dare charge me in court;
22 then let my arm fall from its socket,
and let my forearm be broken at the elbow!
23 For calamity from God has always terrified me;
before his majesty I could never do a thing [like that].
24 “If I made gold my hope,
if I said to fine gold, ‘You are my security,’
25 if I took joy in my great wealth,
in my having acquired so much;
26 or if, on seeing the shining sun
or the full moon as it moved through the sky,
27 my heart was secretly seduced,
so that I would wave them a kiss with my hand;
28 then this too would be a criminal offense,
for I would have been lying to God on high.
29 “Did I rejoice at the destruction of him who hated me?
Was I filled with glee when disaster overtook him?
30 No, I did not allow my mouth to sin
by asking for his life with a curse.
31 “Was there anyone in my tent who didn’t say,
‘No one can find a single person
whom he has not filled with his meat’?
32 No stranger had to sleep in the street;
I kept my house open to the traveler.
33 “If I concealed my sins, as most people do,
by hiding my wrongdoing in my heart,
34 from fear of general gossip
or dread of some family’s contempt.
keeping silent and not going outdoors —
35 I wish I had someone who would listen to me!
Here is my signature; let Shaddai answer me!
I wish I had the indictment my adversary has written!
36 I would carry it on my shoulder;
I would bind it on me like a crown.
37 I would declare to him every one of my steps;
I would approach him like a prince.
38 “If my land cried out against me,
if its furrows wept together,
39 if I ate its produce without paying
or made its owners despair;
40 then let thistles grow instead of wheat
and noxious weeds instead of barley!
“The words of Iyov are finished.”
Job 31
New International Version
Job 31
New International Version
31 “I made a covenant with my eyes(A)
not to look lustfully at a young woman.(B)
2 For what is our lot(C) from God above,
our heritage from the Almighty on high?(D)
3 Is it not ruin(E) for the wicked,
disaster(F) for those who do wrong?(G)
4 Does he not see my ways(H)
and count my every step?(I)
5 “If I have walked with falsehood
or my foot has hurried after deceit(J)—
6 let God weigh me(K) in honest scales(L)
and he will know that I am blameless(M)—
7 if my steps have turned from the path,(N)
if my heart has been led by my eyes,
or if my hands(O) have been defiled,(P)
8 then may others eat what I have sown,(Q)
and may my crops be uprooted.(R)
9 “If my heart has been enticed(S) by a woman,(T)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(U) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(V)
11 For that would have been wicked,(W)
a sin to be judged.(X)
12 It is a fire(Y) that burns to Destruction[a];(Z)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(AA)
13 “If I have denied justice to any of my servants,(AB)
whether male or female,
when they had a grievance against me,(AC)
14 what will I do when God confronts me?(AD)
What will I answer when called to account?(AE)
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them?(AF)
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?(AG)
16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor(AH)
or let the eyes of the widow(AI) grow weary,(AJ)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless(AK)—
18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow(AL)—
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(AM)
or the needy(AN) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(AO)
for warming them with the fleece(AP) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(AQ)
knowing that I had influence in court,(AR)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.(AS)
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,(AT)
and for fear of his splendor(AU) I could not do such things.(AV)
24 “If I have put my trust in gold(AW)
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’(AX)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,(AY)
the fortune my hands had gained,(AZ)
26 if I have regarded the sun(BA) in its radiance
or the moon(BB) moving in splendor,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed(BC)
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,(BD)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,(BE)
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.(BF)
29 “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune(BG)
or gloated over the trouble that came to him(BH)—
30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life(BI)—
31 if those of my household have never said,
‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’(BJ)—
32 but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler(BK)—
33 if I have concealed(BL) my sin as people do,[b]
by hiding(BM) my guilt in my heart
34 because I so feared the crowd(BN)
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent(BO) and would not go outside—
35 (“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!(BP)
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
let my accuser(BQ) put his indictment in writing.
36 Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,(BR)
I would put it on like a crown.(BS)
37 I would give him an account of my every step;(BT)
I would present it to him as to a ruler.(BU))—
38 “if my land cries out against me(BV)
and all its furrows are wet(BW) with tears,
39 if I have devoured its yield without payment(BX)
or broken the spirit of its tenants,(BY)
40 then let briers(BZ) come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed(CA) instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.(CB)
