Job 40
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Reina-Valera 1909
1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:
1ENTONCES respondió Jehová á Job desde la oscuridad, y dijo:
2Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
2Cíñete ahora como varón tus lomos; yo te preguntaré, y explícame.
3Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
3¿Invalidarás tú también mi juicio? ¿me condenarás á mí, para justificarte á ti?
4Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.
4¿Tienes tú brazo como Dios? ¿y tronarás tú con voz como él?
5Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.
5Atavíate ahora de majestad y de alteza: y vístete de honra y de hermosura.
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
6Esparce furores de tu ira: y mira á todo soberbio, y abátelo.
7Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.
7Mira á todo soberbio, y humíllalo, y quebranta á los impíos en su asiento.
8Wilt thou even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified?
8Encúbrelos á todos en el polvo, venda sus rostros en la oscuridad;
9Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like Him?
9Y yo también te confesaré que podrá salvarte tu diestra.
10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty.
10He aquí ahora behemoth, al cual yo hice contigo; hierba come como buey.
11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.
11He aquí ahora que su fuerza está en sus lomos, y su fortaleza en el ombligo de su vientre.
12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
12Su cola mueve como un cedro, y los nervios de sus genitales son entretejidos.
13Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place.
13Sus huesos son fuertes como bronce, y sus miembros como barras de hierro.
14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
14El es la cabeza de los caminos de Dios: el que lo hizo, puede hacer que su cuchillo á él se acerque.
15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
15Ciertamente los montes producen hierba para él: y toda bestia del campo retoza allá.
16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body.
16Echaráse debajo de las sombras, en lo oculto de las cañas, y de los lugares húmedos.
17He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
17Los árboles sombríos lo cubren con su sombra; los sauces del arroyo lo cercan.
18His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron.
18He aquí que él tomará el río sin inmutarse: y confíase que el Jordán pasará por su boca.
19He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
19¿Tomarálo alguno por sus ojos en armadijos, y horadará su nariz?
20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
