Job 5
Biblia del Jubileo
5 Ahora pues da voces, si habrá quien te responda; y ¿si habrá alguno de los santos a quien mires?
2 Es cierto que al loco la ira lo mata, y al codicioso consume la envidia.
3 Yo he visto al loco que echaba raíces, y en la misma hora maldije su habitación.
4 Sus hijos estarán lejos de la salud, y en la puerta serán quebrantados, y no habrá quien los libre.
5 Su mies comerán los hambrientos, y la sacarán de entre las espinas, y los sedientos beberán su hacienda.
6 Porque la iniquidad no sale del polvo, ni el castigo reverdece de la tierra.
7 Antes como las chispas se levantan para volar por el aire, así el hombre nace para la aflicción.
8 ¶ Ciertamente yo buscaría a Dios, y depositaría en él mis negocios;
9 el cual hace grandes cosas, que no hay quien las comprenda; y maravillas que no tienen cuento.
10 Que da la lluvia sobre la faz de la tierra, y envía las aguas sobre las faces de las plazas.
11 Que pone a los humildes en altura, y los enlutados son levantados a salud.
12 Que frustra los pensamientos de los astutos, para que sus manos no hagan nada.
13 Que prende a los sabios en su propia prudencia, y el consejo de sus adversarios es entontecido.
14 De día tropiezan con tinieblas, y en mitad del día andan a tientas como de noche.
15 Y libra de la espada al pobre, de la boca de los impíos, y de la mano violenta.
16 Que es esperanza al menesteroso, y la iniquidad cerró su boca.
17 ¶ He aquí, que bienaventurado es el hombre a quien Dios castiga; por tanto no menosprecies la corrección del Todopoderoso.
18 Porque él es el que hace la plaga, y él la ligará; él hiere, y sus manos curan.
19 En seis tribulaciones te librará, y en la séptima no te tocará el mal.
20 En el hambre te rescatará de la muerte, y en la guerra de las manos de la espada.
21 Del azote de la lengua serás encubierto; ni temerás de la destrucción cuando viniere.
22 De la destrucción y del hambre te reirás, y no temerás de las bestias de la tierra;
23 pues aun con las piedras del campo tendrás tu concierto, y las bestias del campo estarán en paz contigo.
24 Y sabrás que hay paz en tu tienda; y visitarás tu morada, y no pecarás.
25 Y entenderás que tu simiente es mucha, y tus renuevos como la hierba de la tierra.
26 Y vendrás en la vejez a la sepultura, como el montón de trigo que se coge a su tiempo.
27 He aquí lo que hemos inquirido, lo cual es así: Oyelo, y juzga tú para contigo.
Job 5
New King James Version
Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God
5 “Call out now;
Is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 For wrath kills a foolish man,
And envy slays a simple one.
3 (A)I have seen the foolish taking root,
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
4 His sons are (B)far from safety,
They are crushed in the gate,
And (C)there is no deliverer.
5 Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
[a]Taking it even from the thorns,
[b]And a snare snatches their [c]substance.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble spring from the ground;
7 Yet man is (D)born to [d]trouble,
As the sparks fly upward.
8 “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
10 (E)He gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.
11 (F)He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 (G)He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
13 He catches the (H)wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
15 But (I)He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
16 (J)So the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold,(K) happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18 (L)For He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.
19 (M)He shall deliver you in six troubles,
Yes, in seven (N)no evil shall touch you.
20 (O)In famine He shall redeem you from death,
And in war from the [e]power of the sword.
21 (P)You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 You shall laugh at destruction and famine,
And (Q)you shall not be afraid of the (R)beasts of the earth.
23 (S)For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your tent is in peace;
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
25 You shall also know that (T)your descendants shall be many,
And your offspring (U)like the grass of the earth.
26 (V)You shall come to the grave at a full age,
As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.
27 Behold, this we have (W)searched out;
It is true.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Job 5
English Standard Version
5 “Call now; is there anyone who will answer you?
To which of (A)the holy ones will you turn?
2 Surely vexation kills the fool,
and jealousy slays the simple.
3 (B)I have seen the fool taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
4 His children are (C)far from safety;
they are crushed in (D)the gate,
and there is no one to deliver them.
5 The hungry eat his harvest,
and he takes it even out of thorns,[a]
and the thirsty pant[b] after his[c] wealth.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 but man is (E)born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward.
8 “As for me, I would seek God,
and to God would I commit my cause,
9 who (F)does great things and (G)unsearchable,
(H)marvelous things without number:
10 he gives (I)rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;
11 he (J)sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (K)frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He (L)catches the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
and (M)grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he (N)saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
and (O)injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold, (P)blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore (Q)despise not the discipline of the (R)Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he (S)binds up;
he (T)shatters, but his hands heal.
19 He will (U)deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no (V)evil[d] shall touch you.
20 (W)In famine he will redeem you from death,
and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be (X)hidden from the lash of the tongue,
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh,
and shall not fear (Y)the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your (Z)tent is at peace,
and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
25 You shall know also that your (AA)offspring shall be many,
and your descendants as (AB)the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in (AC)ripe old age,
like a sheaf gathered up in its season.
27 Behold, this we have (AD)searched out; it is true.
Hear, and know it for your good.”[e]
