Incapacidad de Job para responder a Dios
9 Respondió Job, y dijo:
2 Ciertamente yo sé que es así;
¿Y cómo se justificará el hombre con Dios?
3 Si quisiere contender con él,
No le podrá responder a una cosa entre mil.
4 Él es sabio de corazón, y poderoso en fuerzas;
¿Quién se endureció contra él, y le fue bien?
5 Él arranca los montes con su furor,
Y no saben quién los trastornó;
6 Él remueve la tierra de su lugar,
Y hace temblar sus columnas;
7 Él manda al sol, y no sale;
Y sella las estrellas;
8 Él solo extendió los cielos,
Y anda sobre las olas del mar;
9 Él hizo la Osa, el Orión y las Pléyades,(A)
Y los lugares secretos del sur;
10 Él hace cosas grandes e incomprensibles,
Y maravillosas, sin número.
11 He aquí que él pasará delante de mí, y yo no lo veré;
Pasará, y no lo entenderé.
12 He aquí, arrebatará; ¿quién le hará restituir?
¿Quién le dirá: Qué haces?
13 Dios no volverá atrás su ira,
Y debajo de él se abaten los que ayudan a los soberbios.
14 ¿Cuánto menos le responderé yo,
Y hablaré con él palabras escogidas?
15 Aunque fuese yo justo, no respondería;
Antes habría de rogar a mi juez.
16 Si yo le invocara, y él me respondiese,
Aún no creeré que haya escuchado mi voz.
17 Porque me ha quebrantado con tempestad,
Y ha aumentado mis heridas sin causa.
18 No me ha concedido que tome aliento,
Sino que me ha llenado de amarguras.
19 Si habláremos de su potencia, por cierto es fuerte;
Si de juicio, ¿quién me emplazará?
20 Si yo me justificare, me condenaría mi boca;
Si me dijere perfecto, esto me haría inicuo.
21 Si fuese íntegro, no haría caso de mí mismo;
Despreciaría mi vida.
22 Una cosa resta que yo diga:
Al perfecto y al impío él los consume.
23 Si azote mata de repente,
Se ríe del sufrimiento de los inocentes.
24 La tierra es entregada en manos de los impíos,
Y él cubre el rostro de sus jueces.
Si no es él, ¿quién es? ¿Dónde está?
25 Mis días han sido más ligeros que un correo;
Huyeron, y no vieron el bien.
26 Pasaron cual naves veloces;
Como el águila que se arroja sobre la presa.
27 Si yo dijere: Olvidaré mi queja,
Dejaré mi triste semblante, y me esforzaré,
28 Me turban todos mis dolores;
Sé que no me tendrás por inocente.
29 Yo soy impío;
¿Para qué trabajaré en vano?
30 Aunque me lave con aguas de nieve,
Y limpie mis manos con la limpieza misma,
31 Aún me hundirás en el hoyo,
Y mis propios vestidos me abominarán.
32 Porque no es hombre como yo, para que yo le responda,
Y vengamos juntamente a juicio.
33 No hay entre nosotros árbitro
Que ponga su mano sobre nosotros dos.
34 Quite de sobre mí su vara,
Y su terror no me espante.
35 Entonces hablaré, y no le temeré;
Porque en este estado no estoy en mí.

Job Says There Is No Arbitrator between God and Man
9 Then Job answered and said,
2
“Yes, I know it is true.
But how can a mortal man be right before God?
3
“If one should want to contend or dispute with Him,
He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.
4
“God is wise in heart and mighty in strength;
Who has [ever] defied or challenged Him and remained unharmed?
5
“It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know it,
When He overturns them in His anger;
6
Who shakes the earth out of its place,
And its pillars tremble;
7
Who commands the sun, and it does not shine;
Who seals up the stars [from view];
8
Who alone stretches out the heavens
And tramples down the [a]waves of the sea;
9
Who made [the constellations] the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the [vast starry] spaces of the south;
10
Who does great things, [beyond understanding,] unfathomable,
Yes, marvelous and wondrous things without number.
11
“Behold, He passes by me, and I do not see Him;
He moves past me, but I do not perceive Him.
12
“Behold, He snatches away; who can restrain or turn Him back?
Who will say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13
“God will not turn back His anger;
The [proud] helpers of Rahab [the arrogant monster of the sea] bow under Him.
14
“How can I answer Him [and plead my case],
Choosing my words [to reason] with Him?
15
For though I were righteous, I could not answer.
I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge.
16
“If I called and He answered me,
I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.
17
“For He bruises me with a tempest
And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18
“He will not allow me to catch my breath,
But fills and saturates me with bitterness.
19
“If it is a matter of strength and power, behold, He is mighty!
And if of justice, who can summon and challenge Him?
20
“Though I am innocent and in the right, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty;
Though I am blameless, He would denounce me as guilty.
21
“[Though] I am blameless,
I do not care about myself;
I despise my life.
22
“It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He destroys [both] the blameless and the wicked.’
23
“When [His] scourge kills suddenly,
He mocks at the despair of the innocent.
24
“The earth is given into the hands of the wicked;
He covers the faces of its judges [so that they are blind to justice].
If it is not He, then who is it [that is responsible for all this injustice]?
25
“Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They vanish, they see no good.
26
“They pass by like the [swift] boats made of reeds,
Like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.
27
“If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will leave off my sad appearance, and be cheerful and brighten up,’
28
I am afraid of all my pains and worries [yet to come];
I know that You will not acquit me and leave me unpunished.
29
“I am accounted wicked and held guilty;
Why then should I labor in vain [to appear innocent]?
30
“If I were to wash myself with snow
And cleanse my hands with lye,
31
You would still plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes would hate me [and refuse to cover my foul body].
32
“For God is not a [mere] man, as I am, that I may answer Him,
That we may go to court and judgment together.
33
“There is no arbitrator between us,
Who could lay his hand upon us both [would that there were].(A)
34
“Let Him take His rod away from me,
And let not the dread and fear of Him terrify me.
35
“Then I would speak [my defense] and not fear Him;
But I am not like that in myself.
