Job 33
Palabra de Dios para Todos
33 »Pero ahora, Job, escucha mis argumentos
y presta atención a mis palabras.
2 En verdad voy a abrir mi boca
y me expresaré claramente.
3 Hablo con honestidad
y soy sincero en lo que digo.
4 El Espíritu de Dios me creó
y el aliento del Todopoderoso me dio vida.
5 Respóndeme si puedes
y prepárate para enfrentarme.
6 Ante Dios, los dos somos iguales.
Yo también fui sacado del barro.
7 Ciertamente no hay razón para que me temas;
el peso de mi mano no te abrumará.
8 »Pero yo escuché lo que dijiste,
oí tu argumentación.
9 Dijiste: “Soy puro e inocente;
estoy limpio, libre de culpa.
10 Pero así y todo, él encuentra razones para atacarme.
Me trata como a un enemigo.
11 Pone mis pies en el cepo,
vigila todos mis pasos”.
12 »En verdad, tú estás equivocado;
porque Dios es más grande que el ser humano.
13 ¿Por qué entablas juicio contra él
quejándote de que no responde a tus acusaciones?
14 Pues Dios habla de una manera y de otra,
aunque no nos demos cuenta.
15 Dios le habla a la gente en sueños,
en visiones nocturnas,
cuando están en sueño profundo,
dormidos en su lecho.
16 En esos momentos habla con los seres humanos.
Cuando los corrige, ellos se atemorizan.
17 Aparta a los hombres del mal que están haciendo
y pone así una barrera entre el hombre y su orgullo.
18 Así lo salva de ir al lugar de la muerte,
quiere evitar que lo destruyan.
19 »Corrige al hombre haciéndolo caer en cama por el dolor,
y con dolor permanente en sus huesos.
20 Entonces odia la comida, pierde el apetito
y ya no quiere comer ni la comida más deliciosa.
21 Adelgaza y se asoman sus huesos,
que antes no se veían.
22 Su vida está al borde del abismo[a],
al borde de donde están los que causan la muerte.
23 »A veces hay un ángel que toma su caso como mediador.
Una en mil veces le declara a uno lo que es correcto.
24 Él le tiene misericordia, y dice:
“Líbralo de ir al abismo
porque le conseguí su rescate”.
25 Entonces su cuerpo recobrará el vigor juvenil;
él rejuvenecerá.
26 Hace oración a Dios,
y Dios está contento con él.
Adorará a Dios gritando de gozo
y devolverá al hombre a su justa situación.
27 Entonces el hombre confesará ante la gente diciendo:
“He pecado, he torcido lo recto,
pero eso no me sirvió para nada”.
28 Él salvó mi alma de cruzar al abismo.
Ahora puedo disfrutar nuevamente de la vida.
29 »En verdad Dios hace todo eso,
una y otra vez, por un ser humano.
30 Lo hace para traerlo de vuelta del abismo,
para con luz darle luz a su vida.
31 Pon atención, Job, escúchame.
Guarda silencio y déjame hablar.
32 Si tienes algo que responderme, dilo,
porque deseo que estés en lo correcto.
33 Pero si no tienes nada qué decir, entonces escúchame.
Cállate y te enseñaré sabiduría».

Job 33
English Standard Version
Job 33
English Standard Version
Elihu Rebukes Job
33 “But now, hear my speech, O Job,
and listen to all my words.
2 Behold, I (A)open my mouth;
the tongue in my mouth speaks.
3 My words declare the uprightness of my heart,
and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
4 (B)The Spirit of God has made me,
and (C)the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 (D)Answer me, if you can;
(E)set your words in order before me; take your stand.
6 Behold, I am toward God as you are;
I too was pinched off from a piece of (F)clay.
7 Behold, no (G)fear of me need terrify you;
my (H)pressure will not be heavy upon you.
8 “Surely you have spoken in my ears,
and I have heard the sound of your words.
9 You say, ‘I am (I)pure, without (J)transgression;
I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me,
he (K)counts me as his enemy,
11 he (L)puts my feet in the stocks
and (M)watches all my paths.’
12 “Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you,
for God is greater than man.
13 Why do you (N)contend against him,
saying, ‘He (O)will answer none of man's[a] words’?[b]
14 For God (P)speaks in one way,
(Q)and in two, though man (R)does not perceive it.
15 In (S)a dream, in (T)a vision of (U)the night,
when (V)deep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he (W)opens the ears of men
and terrifies[c] them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his (X)deed
and conceal pride from a man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from (Y)perishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his (Z)bones,
20 so that his (AA)life loathes bread,
and his appetite (AB)the choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and his bones that were not seen (AC)stick out.
22 His soul draws near (AD)the pit,
and his life to (AE)those who bring death.
23 If there be for him (AF)an angel,
(AG)a mediator, (AH)one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is (AI)right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found (AJ)a ransom;
25 let his flesh (AK)become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man[d] (AL)prays to God, and he accepts him;
he (AM)sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he (AN)restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men and says:
‘I (AO)sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not repaid to me.
28 He has redeemed my (AP)soul from going down (AQ)into the pit,
and my life shall (AR)look upon the light.’
29 “Behold, God does all these things,
twice, (AS)three times, with a man,
30 to bring back his soul from the pit,
that he may be lighted with (AT)the light of life.
31 Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak.
32 If you have any words, (AU)answer me;
(AV)speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, (AW)listen to me;
be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
Job 33
New International Version
Job 33
New International Version
33 “But now, Job, listen(A) to my words;
pay attention to everything I say.(B)
2 I am about to open my mouth;
my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words come from an upright heart;(C)
my lips sincerely speak what I know.(D)
4 The Spirit(E) of God has made me;(F)
the breath of the Almighty(G) gives me life.(H)
5 Answer me(I) then, if you can;
stand up(J) and argue your case before me.(K)
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;(L)
I too am a piece of clay.(M)
7 No fear of me should alarm you,
nor should my hand be heavy on you.(N)
8 “But you have said in my hearing—
I heard the very words—
9 ‘I am pure,(O) I have done no wrong;(P)
I am clean and free from sin.(Q)
10 Yet God has found fault with me;
he considers me his enemy.(R)
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;(S)
he keeps close watch on all my paths.’(T)
12 “But I tell you, in this you are not right,
for God is greater than any mortal.(U)
13 Why do you complain to him(V)
that he responds to no one’s words[a]?(W)
14 For God does speak(X)—now one way, now another(Y)—
though no one perceives it.(Z)
15 In a dream,(AA) in a vision(AB) of the night,(AC)
when deep sleep(AD) falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak(AE) in their ears
and terrify them(AF) with warnings,(AG)
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,(AH)
18 to preserve them from the pit,(AI)
their lives from perishing by the sword.[b](AJ)
19 “Or someone may be chastened(AK) on a bed of pain(AL)
with constant distress in their bones,(AM)
20 so that their body finds food(AN) repulsive
and their soul loathes the choicest meal.(AO)
21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
and their bones,(AP) once hidden, now stick out.(AQ)
22 They draw near to the pit,(AR)
and their life to the messengers of death.[c](AS)
23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
a messenger,(AT) one out of a thousand,
sent to tell them how to be upright,(AU)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(AV)
I have found a ransom for them(AW)—
25 let their flesh be renewed(AX) like a child’s;
let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(AY)—
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(AZ)
they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(BA)
he will restore them to full well-being.(BB)
27 And they will go to others and say,
‘I have sinned,(BC) I have perverted what is right,(BD)
but I did not get what I deserved.(BE)
28 God has delivered(BF) me from going down to the pit,(BG)
and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(BH)
