Job 9

Nueva Versión Internacional NVI

1 Job entonces replicó:

2 «Aunque sé muy bien que esto es cierto,¿cómo puede un mortal justificarse ante Dios?

3 Si uno quisiera disputar con él,de mil cosas no podría responderle una sola.

4 Profunda es su sabiduría, vasto su poder.¿Quién puede desafiarlo y salir bien librado?

5 Él mueve montañas sin que estas lo sepan,y en su enojo las trastorna.

6 Él remueve los cimientos de la tierray hace que se estremezcan sus columnas.

7 Reprende al sol, y su brillo se apaga;eclipsa la luz de las estrellas.

8 Él se basta para extender los cielos;somete a su dominio las olas del mar.

9 Él creó la Osa y el Orión,las Pléyades y las constelaciones del sur.

10 Él realiza maravillas insondables,portentos que no pueden contarse.

11 Si pasara junto a mí, no podría verlo;si se alejara, no alcanzaría a percibirlo.

12 Si de algo se adueñara, ¿quién lo haría desistir?¿Quién puede cuestionar sus actos?

13 Dios no depone el enojo;aun Rahab y sus secuaces se postran a sus pies.

14 »¿Cómo entonces podré yo responderle?¿Dónde hallar palabras para contradecirle?

15 Aunque fuera yo inocente, no puedo defenderme;de mi juez solo puedo pedir misericordia.

16 Y aunque lo llamara y me respondiera,no creo que me concedería audiencia.

17 Me despedazaría con una tormenta,y por la menor cosa multiplicaría mis heridas.

18 No me dejaría recobrar el aliento;más bien, me saturaría de amargura.

19 Si de fuerza se trata, ¡él es más poderoso!Si es cuestión de juicio, ¿quién lo hará comparecer?

20 Aun siendo inocente, me condenará mi boca;aun siendo íntegro, resultaré culpable.

21 »Soy intachable, pero ya no me importa;tengo en poco mi propia vida.

22 Todo es lo mismo; por eso digo:“A buenos y a malos destruye por igual”.

23 Si alguna plaga acarrea la muerte repentina,él se burla de la angustia del inocente.

24 Si algún malvado se apodera de un terreno,él les tapa los ojos a los jueces.Si no lo hace él, ¿entonces quién?

25 »Transcurren mis días con más rapidez que un corredor;vuelan sin que hayan conocido la dicha.

26 Se deslizan como barcas de papiro,como veloces águilas al caer sobre su presa.

27 Si acaso digo: “Olvidaré mi queja,cambiaré de expresión, esbozaré una sonrisa”,

28 me queda el miedo de tanto sufrimiento,pues bien sé que no me consideran inocente.

29 Y ya que me tienen por culpable,¿para qué voy a luchar en vano?

30 Aunque me restriegue con jabóny me limpie las manos con lejía,

31 tú me lanzarás al muladar,¡y hasta mis ropas me aborrecerán!

32 »Dios no es hombre como yo,para que juntos comparezcamos ante un tribunal.

33 ¡No hay un juez aquíque decida el caso entre nosotros dos!

34 ¡No hay quien aleje de mí el báculo divinopara que ya no me asuste su terror!

35 Quisiera hablar sin temor,pero no puedo hacerlo.

New International Version NIV

1 Then Job replied:

2 “Indeed, I know that this is true. But how can mere mortals prove their innocence before God?

3 Though they wished to dispute with him, they could not answer him one time out of a thousand.

4 His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?

5 He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger.

6 He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble.

7 He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars.

8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

10 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

11 When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.

12 If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’

13 God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.

14 “How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?

15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.

16 Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

17 He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.

18 He would not let me catch my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.

19 If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him ?

20 Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.

21 “Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.

22 It is all the same; that is why I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

23 When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent.

24 When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?

25 “My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy.

26 They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey.

27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,’

28 I still dread all my sufferings, for I know you will not hold me innocent.

29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I struggle in vain?

30 Even if I washed myself with soap and my hands with cleansing powder,

31 you would plunge me into a slime pit so that even my clothes would detest me.

32 “He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in court.

33 If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together,

34 someone to remove God’s rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more.

35 Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot.
