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: Job Should Repent
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you speak these things,
And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
3 (A)Does God subvert judgment?
Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If (B)your sons have sinned against Him,
He has cast them away [a]for their transgression.
5 (C)If you would earnestly seek God
And make your supplication to the Almighty,
6 If you were pure and upright,
Surely now He would [b]awake for you,
And prosper your rightful dwelling place.
7 Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would (D)increase abundantly.
8 “For(E) inquire, please, of the former age,
And consider the things discovered by their fathers;
9 For (F)we were born yesterday, and know [c]nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you,
And utter words from their heart?
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?
12 (G)While it is yet green and not cut down,
It withers before any other plant.
13 So are the paths of all who (H)forget God;
And the hope of the (I)hypocrite shall perish,
14 Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust is [d]a spider’s web.
15 (J)He leans on his house, but it does not stand.
He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
16 He grows green in the sun,
And his branches spread out in his garden.
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
18 (K)If he is destroyed from his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 “Behold, this is the joy of His way,
And (L)out of the earth others will grow.
20 Behold, (M)God will not [e]cast away the blameless,
Nor will He uphold the evildoers.
21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughing,
And your lips with [f]rejoicing.
22 Those who hate you will be (N)clothed with shame,
And the dwelling place of the wicked [g]will come to nothing.”

Bildad Speaks: Job Should Repent
8 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you say these things,
and the words of your mouth be a (B)great wind?
3 (C)Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
4 If your (D)children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5 If you will seek God
and (E)plead with the Almighty for mercy,
6 if you are pure and upright,
surely then he will (F)rouse himself for you
and (G)restore your rightful habitation.
7 And though your beginning was small,
(H)your latter days will be very great.
8 “For (I)inquire, please, of bygone ages,
and consider what (J)the fathers have searched out.
9 For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
for our days on earth are (K)a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you
and utter words out of their understanding?
11 “Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
12 While yet in flower and not cut down,
they (L)wither before any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who (M)forget God;
(N)the hope of (O)the godless shall perish.
14 His confidence is severed,
and his trust is (P)a spider's web.[a]
15 He leans against his (Q)house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
16 He is a lush plant before the sun,
and his (R)shoots spread over his garden.
17 His roots entwine the stone heap;
he looks upon a house of stones.
18 If he is destroyed from his (S)place,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never (T)seen you.’
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,
and out of (U)the soil others will spring.
20 “Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,
nor take the hand of evildoers.
21 He will yet (V)fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with shouting.
22 Those who hate you will be (W)clothed with shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
