La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Defensa de la justicia
8 Bildad de Súaj respondió así:
2 ¿Hasta cuándo hablarás de ese modo,
con el viento impetuoso de tus palabras?
3 ¿Puede Dios trastocar el derecho,
pervertir la justicia el Todopoderoso?
4 Si tus hijos pecaron contra él,
ya los hizo cargar con su delito.
5 Mas si buscas cuanto antes a Dios,
si diriges tu súplica al Todopoderoso,
6 si eres honrado e intachable,
entonces se ocupará de ti,
te devolverá tu legítima heredad.
7 Tu pasado será insignificante
comparado con tu glorioso futuro.
8 Ve y pregunta a pasadas generaciones,
seguras en la experiencia de sus mayores.
9 Ayer nacimos, nada sabemos;
nuestra vida en este mundo es una sombra.
10 Pero ellos te enseñarán, te informarán
con máximas que brotan de su reflexión.
11 ¿Brota el papiro fuera de la marisma
o prosperan los juncos si falta el agua?
12 Todavía verdes, sin ser segados,
pueden agostarse antes que otra hierba.
13 Así acaba quien se olvida de Dios,
la esperanza del malvado sucumbe;
14 su confianza no es más que un hilo;
su seguridad, una tela de araña;
15 si se apoya en ella, no lo aguanta;
si se aferra a ella, no lo sostiene.
16 Como planta lozana a pleno sol,
sus tallos brotaban por el jardín;
17 sus raíces escalaban el muro,
se adherían firmes a las tapias.
18 Pero si es arrancada de su sitio,
este la niega: “Nunca te he visto”.
19 Así acabará su existencia,
otros brotarán en su lugar.
20 Pero Dios no rechaza al honrado,
ni tiende la mano al malvado.
21 Llenará de nuevo tu boca de risas,
tus labios gritarán jubilosos.
22 Tus enemigos quedarán avergonzados,
la tienda del malvado dejará de existir.

Bildad’s First Response to Job
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied to Job:
2 “How long will you go on like this?
You sound like a blustering wind.
3 Does God twist justice?
Does the Almighty twist what is right?
4 Your children must have sinned against him,
so their punishment was well deserved.
5 But if you pray to God
and seek the favor of the Almighty,
6 and if you are pure and live with integrity,
he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.
7 And though you started with little,
you will end with much.
8 “Just ask the previous generation.
Pay attention to the experience of our ancestors.
9 For we were born but yesterday and know nothing.
Our days on earth are as fleeting as a shadow.
10 But those who came before us will teach you.
They will teach you the wisdom of old.
11 “Can papyrus reeds grow tall without a marsh?
Can marsh grass flourish without water?
12 While they are still flowering, not ready to be cut,
they begin to wither more quickly than grass.
13 The same happens to all who forget God.
The hopes of the godless evaporate.
14 Their confidence hangs by a thread.
They are leaning on a spider’s web.
15 They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last.
They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure.
16 The godless seem like a lush plant growing in the sunshine,
its branches spreading across the garden.
17 Its roots grow down through a pile of stones;
it takes hold on a bed of rocks.
18 But when it is uprooted,
it’s as though it never existed!
19 That’s the end of its life,
and others spring up from the earth to replace it.
20 “But look, God will not reject a person of integrity,
nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.
21 He will once again fill your mouth with laughter
and your lips with shouts of joy.
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.”

Bildad
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “How long will you say such things?(B)
Your words are a blustering wind.(C)
3 Does God pervert justice?(D)
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?(E)
4 When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.(F)
5 But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead(G) with the Almighty,(H)
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf(I)
and restore you to your prosperous state.(J)
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous(K) will your future be.(L)
8 “Ask the former generation(M)
and find out what their ancestors learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,(N)
and our days on earth are but a shadow.(O)
10 Will they not instruct(P) you and tell you?
Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?(Q)
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh?(R)
Can reeds(S) thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut,
they wither more quickly than grass.(T)
13 Such is the destiny(U) of all who forget God;(V)
so perishes the hope of the godless.(W)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
what they rely on is a spider’s web.(X)
15 They lean on the web,(Y) but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.(Z)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(AA) over the garden;(AB)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns(AC) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(AD)
19 Surely its life withers(AE) away,
and[b] from the soil other plants grow.(AF)
