Job 23

Berean Standard Bible

Reina-Valera 1909

1Then Job answered:

1Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:

2“Even today my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

2Hoy también hablaré con amargura; que es más grave mi llaga que mi gemido.

3If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.

3¡Quién me diera el saber dónde hallar á Dios! yo iría hasta su silla.

4I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.

4Ordenaría juicio delante de él, y henchiría mi boca de argumentos.

5I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.

5Yo sabría lo que él me respondería, y entendería lo que me dijese.

6Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.

6¿Pleitearía conmigo con grandeza de fuerza? No: antes él la pondría en mí.

7Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

7Allí el justo razonaría con él: y escaparía para siempre de mi juez.

8If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.

8He aquí yo iré al oriente, y no lo hallaré ; y al occidente, y no lo percibiré:

9When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.

9Si al norte él obrare, yo no lo veré; al mediodía se esconderá, y no lo veré.

10Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

10Mas él conoció mi camino: probaráme, y saldré como oro.

11My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside.

11Mis pies tomaron su rastro; guardé su camino, y no me aparté.

12I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.

12Del mandamiento de sus labios nunca me separé; guardé las palabras de su boca más que mi comida.

13But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.

13Empero si él se determina en una cosa, ¿quién lo apartará? Su alma deseó, é hizo.

14For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.

14El pues acabará lo que ha determinado de mí: y muchas cosas como estas hay en él.

15Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.

15Por lo cual yo me espanto en su presencia: consideraré, y temerélo.

16God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.

16Dios ha enervado mi corazón, y hame turbado el Omnipotente.

17Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.

17¿Por qué no fuí yo cortado delante de las tinieblas, y cubrió con oscuridad mi rostro?
