Job 6:12

Listen to Job 6:12
12 ¿Es mi fortaleza la de las piedras? ¿O mi carne, es de acero?

Job 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 6:12

[Is] my strength the strength of stones?
&c.] Is it like such especially which are foundation and corner stones that support a building? or like a stone pillar, that will bear a prodigious weight? no, it is not:

or [is] my flesh of brass?
is it made of brass? or is it like to brass for hardness, or for sustaining any weight laid on it? it is not; and, therefore, it cannot bear up under the ponderous load of afflictions on it, but must sink and fail; it is but flesh and blood, and that flesh like grass, weak and feeble; and, therefore, death is better than life laden with such an insupportable burden.

10 Y sería aún mi consuelo, Si me asaltase con dolor sin dar más tregua, Que yo no he escondido las palabras del Santo.
11 ¿Cuál es mi fortaleza para esperar aún? ¿Y cuál mi fin para dilatar mi vida?
12 ¿Es mi fortaleza la de las piedras? ¿O mi carne, es de acero?
13 ¿No me ayudo cuanto puedo, Y el poder me falta del todo?
14 El atribulado es consolado de su compañero: Mas hase abandonado el temor del Omnipotente.
