Job 8
Reina-Valera 1960
Bildad proclama la justicia de Dios
8 Respondió Bildad suhita, y dijo:
2 ¿Hasta cuándo hablarás tales cosas,
Y las palabras de tu boca serán como viento impetuoso?
3 ¿Acaso torcerá Dios el derecho,
O pervertirá el Todopoderoso la justicia?
4 Si tus hijos pecaron contra él,
Él los echó en el lugar de su pecado.
5 Si tú de mañana buscares a Dios,
Y rogares al Todopoderoso;
6 Si fueres limpio y recto,
Ciertamente luego se despertará por ti,
Y hará próspera la morada de tu justicia.
7 Y aunque tu principio haya sido pequeño,
Tu postrer estado será muy grande.
8 Porque pregunta ahora a las generaciones pasadas,
Y disponte para inquirir a los padres de ellas;
9 Pues nosotros somos de ayer, y nada sabemos,
Siendo nuestros días sobre la tierra como sombra.
10 ¿No te enseñarán ellos, te hablarán,
Y de su corazón sacarán palabras?
11 ¿Crece el junco sin lodo?
¿Crece el prado sin agua?
12 Aun en su verdor, y sin haber sido cortado,
Con todo, se seca primero que toda hierba.
13 Tales son los caminos de todos los que olvidan a Dios;
Y la esperanza del impío perecerá;
14 Porque su esperanza será cortada,
Y su confianza es tela de araña.
15 Se apoyará él en su casa, mas no permanecerá ella en pie;
Se asirá de ella, mas no resistirá.
16 A manera de un árbol está verde delante del sol,
Y sus renuevos salen sobre su huerto;
17 Se van entretejiendo sus raíces junto a una fuente,
Y enlazándose hasta un lugar pedregoso.
18 Si le arrancaren de su lugar,
Este le negará entonces, diciendo: Nunca te vi.
19 Ciertamente este será el gozo de su camino;
Y del polvo mismo nacerán otros.
20 He aquí, Dios no aborrece al perfecto,
Ni apoya la mano de los malignos.
21 Aún llenará tu boca de risa,
Y tus labios de júbilo.
22 Los que te aborrecen serán vestidos de confusión;
Y la habitación de los impíos perecerá.

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)

Bildad Speaks to Job
8 Then Bildad from Shuah answered:
2 “How long will you talk like that?
Your words are nothing but hot air!
3 God is always fair.
God All-Powerful does what is right.
4 If your children sinned against God, he punished them.
They paid for their sins.
5 But now, look to God
and pray to the All-Powerful.
6 If you are pure and good,
he will quickly come to help you.
He will give your family back to you.
7 Then you will have a lot more
than you had in the beginning!
8 “Ask those who are now old.
Find out what their ancestors learned.
9 It seems as though we were born yesterday.
We are too young to know anything.
Our days on earth are very short, like a shadow.
10 Maybe the old people can tell you something.
Maybe they will teach you what they learned.
11 “Can papyrus grow tall on a dry land?
Can reeds grow without water?
12 No, they will dry up before harvest.
They will be too small to cut and use.
13 People who forget God are like that.
Those who oppose him have no hope.
14 They have put their trust in something weak.
It is like a spider’s web.
15 When they lean against it,
it will break.
When they reach out for it,
it will not hold them up.
16 Such people are like a vine that gets plenty of water and sunshine,
and its branches spread throughout the garden.
17 Its roots spread among the rocks,
searching for good soil.
18 But if you move it, it will die,
and no one can tell it was ever there.
19 Everything might have been going well,
but another vine will take its place.
20 God does not support evil people,
and he does not abandon the innocent.
21 So perhaps you might laugh again.
Maybe shouts of joy will come from your lips.
22 Maybe your enemies will be humiliated
and the homes of the wicked destroyed.”
