Job 5
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
5 »Llama ahora, ¿habrá quién te responda?
¿Y a cuál de los santos(A) te volverás?
2 -»Porque el enojo mata al insensato,
Y la ira da muerte al necio(B).
3 -»Yo he visto al insensato echar raíces(C),
Y al instante maldije su morada(D).
4 -»Sus hijos no tienen seguridad alguna(E),
Aun en la puerta[a] son oprimidos[b],
Y no hay quien los libre.
5 -»Su[c] cosecha la devoran los hambrientos,
La toman aun de entre los espinos,
Y el intrigante[d](F) ansía su riqueza.
6 -»Porque la aflicción(G) no viene del polvo,
Ni brota el infortunio de la tierra;
7 Pues el hombre nace para la aflicción(H),
Como las chispas vuelan hacia arriba.
8 ¶»Pero en cuanto a mí, yo buscaría a Dios,
Y delante de Dios presentaría mi causa(I);
9 Él hace cosas grandes e inescrutables,
Maravillas[e] sin número(J).
10 -ȃl da la lluvia sobre la superficie de la tierra,
Y envía las aguas sobre[f] los campos(K).
11 -»Para poner en alto a los humildes,
Y levantar a los que lloran a lugar seguro(L).
12 -ȃl frustra las tramas de los astutos(M),
Para que sus manos no tengan éxito.
13 -ȃl prende a los sabios en su propia astucia(N),
Y el consejo de los sagaces pronto lo frustra.
14 -»De día tropiezan con las tinieblas,
Y a mediodía andan a tientas como de noche(O).
15 -»Pero Él salva al pobre de la espada en sus bocas(P),
Y de la mano del poderoso(Q).
16 -»El desamparado, pues, tiene esperanza,
Y la injusticia tiene que cerrar su boca(R).
17 ¶»Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre a quien Dios reprende(S);
No desprecies, pues, la disciplina del Todopoderoso[g](T).
18 -»Porque Él inflige dolor, pero da alivio[h];
Él hiere, pero Sus manos también sanan(U).
19 -»De[i] seis aflicciones te librará(V),
Y en la séptima no te tocará el mal(W).
20 -»En el hambre, Él te salvará de la muerte(X),
Y en la guerra, del poder de la espada(Y).
21 -»Estarás a cubierto del azote de la lengua(Z),
Y no temerás la violencia cuando venga(AA).
22 -»De la violencia y del hambre te reirás(AB),
Y no temerás a las fieras de la tierra(AC).
23 -»Pues con las piedras del campo harás tu alianza,
Y las fieras del campo estarán en paz contigo(AD).
24 -»Y sabrás que tu tienda está segura[j],
Porque visitarás tu morada y no temerás pérdida alguna(AE).
25 -»También sabrás que tu descendencia[k] será numerosa(AF),
Y tus vástagos como la hierba de la tierra(AG).
26 -»En pleno vigor llegarás al sepulcro(AH),
Como se recogen las gavillas a su tiempo.
27 -»Esto lo hemos examinado, y así es;
Óyelo, y conócelo para tu bien[l]».

Eliphaz continues to speak to Job
5 ‘Shout for help, Job! But no one will answer you.
None of the angels will come to help you.
2 Foolish people may be angry and jealous.
That is what kills them.
3 I have seen fools who seemed to be successful.
But suddenly a curse destroyed their homes.
4 Their children are never truly safe.
The judge says that they are guilty,
and nobody saves them from punishment.
5 Hungry people take their crops to eat.
They even take them from among the weeds.
Thirsty people take the fool's money for themselves.
6 Problems do not grow like plants in our fields.
Trouble does not come up from the ground.
7 But trouble comes to everyone, as soon as they are born.
It is as certain as smoke that rises from a fire.
8 I suggest that you ask God to help you.
You should tell him about your problems.
9 He does great things that nobody can understand.
He does more miracles than anyone can count.
10 He gives rain for the earth.
He sends water for the fields.
11 He gives honour to humble people.
When people are suffering, he puts them in a safe place.
12 He stops the ideas of clever people.
They cannot do what they want to do.
13 When wise people try to do clever things,
he causes those things to give them trouble.
He quickly stops their clever ideas.
14 In the middle of the day, it becomes dark for those people.
At midday, they see no better than blind people.
15 He saves poor people when wicked people attack them.
He rescues weak people from the power of strong people.
16 So poor people can hope for justice.
Wicked people have to be quiet.
17 If Almighty God warns you to do what is right,
he has blessed you.
So do not be upset when he decides to do that.
18 He may cause you to have pain,
but he will make you well again.
He may hurt you,
but he will also give you health.
19 If trouble comes to you six times, he will rescue you.
No bad thing will hurt you, as often as it happens.
20 If there is a time of famine,
he will keep you alive.
He will protect you from death in a time of war.
21 If people insult you, he will take care of you.
When people attack you, you will not be afraid.
22 In times of danger and famine, you will be brave.
You will not be afraid of wild animals.
23 The stones in your fields will not give you trouble.
The wild animals will not attack you.
24 You will know that your home is strong and safe.
When you check all your land,
you will see that all your animals are safe.
25 You will know that your children will be very many.
You will have as many descendants as the grass that grows in the ground.
26 You will not die until you are old.
You will grow with strength until you die,
like crops that grow until the time of harvest.
27 We have thought carefully about these things.
We know that they are true.
So listen to what we say.
Accept it and it will be good for you.’
Job 5
New International Version
Job 5
New International Version
5 “Call if you will, but who will answer you?(A)
To which of the holy ones(B) will you turn?
2 Resentment(C) kills a fool,
and envy slays the simple.(D)
3 I myself have seen(E) a fool taking root,(F)
but suddenly(G) his house was cursed.(H)
4 His children(I) are far from safety,(J)
crushed in court(K) without a defender.(L)
5 The hungry consume his harvest,(M)
taking it even from among thorns,
and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground.(N)
7 Yet man is born to trouble(O)
as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God;
I would lay my cause before him.(P)
9 He performs wonders(Q) that cannot be fathomed,(R)
miracles that cannot be counted.(S)
10 He provides rain for the earth;(T)
he sends water on the countryside.(U)
11 The lowly he sets on high,(V)
and those who mourn(W) are lifted(X) to safety.
12 He thwarts the plans(Y) of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.(Z)
13 He catches the wise(AA) in their craftiness,(AB)
and the schemes of the wily are swept away.(AC)
14 Darkness(AD) comes upon them in the daytime;
at noon they grope as in the night.(AE)
15 He saves the needy(AF) from the sword in their mouth;
he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.(AG)
16 So the poor(AH) have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.(AI)
17 “Blessed is the one whom God corrects;(AJ)
so do not despise the discipline(AK) of the Almighty.[a](AL)
18 For he wounds, but he also binds up;(AM)
he injures, but his hands also heal.(AN)
19 From six calamities he will rescue(AO) you;
in seven no harm will touch you.(AP)
20 In famine(AQ) he will deliver you from death,
and in battle from the stroke of the sword.(AR)
21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,(AS)
and need not fear(AT) when destruction comes.(AU)
22 You will laugh(AV) at destruction and famine,(AW)
and need not fear the wild animals.(AX)
23 For you will have a covenant(AY) with the stones(AZ) of the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.(BA)
24 You will know that your tent is secure;(BB)
you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.(BC)
25 You will know that your children will be many,(BD)
and your descendants like the grass of the earth.(BE)
26 You will come to the grave in full vigor,(BF)
like sheaves gathered in season.(BG)

Job 5
King James Version
Job 5
King James Version
5 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
