1 Then Job answered and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Job y dijo:
1 Then Job answered,
2 Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!
2 ¡Oh si pesasen al justo mi queja y mi tormento, y se alzasen igualmente en balanza!
2 “Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.
3 Porque pesaría aquél más que la arena del mar: y por tanto mis palabras son cortadas.
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore my words have been rash.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
4 Porque las saetas del Todopoderoso están en mí, cuyo veneno bebe mi espíritu; y terrores de Dios me combaten.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
5 ¿Acaso gime el asno montés junto á la hierba? ¿muge el buey junto á su pasto?
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6 Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
6 ¿Comeráse lo desabrido sin sal? ¿ó habrá gusto en la clara del huevo?
6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 My soul refuseth to touch [them]; They are as loathsome food to me.
7 Las cosas que mi alma no quería tocar, por los dolores son mi comida.
7 My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
8 Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!
8 ¡Quién me diera que viniese mi petición, y que Dios [me] otorgase lo que espero;
8 “Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
9 Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
9 Y que pluguiera á Dios quebrantarme; que soltara su mano, y me deshiciera!
9 even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
10 Y sería aún mi consuelo, si me asaltase con dolor sin dar más tregua, que yo no he escondido las palabras del Santo.
10 Let it still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, that I should be patient?
11 ¿Cuál es mi fortaleza para esperar aún? ¿y cuál mi fin para dilatar mi vida?

12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
12 ¿Es mi fortaleza la de las piedras? ¿ó mi carne, es de acero?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
13 Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?
13 ¿No me ayudo cuanto puedo, y el poder me falta del todo?
13 Isn’t it that I have no help in me, that wisdom is driven away from me?
14 To him that is ready to faint kindness [should be showed] from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
14 El atribulado es consolado de su compañero: mas hase abandonado el temor del Omnipotente.
14 “To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;
15 Mis hermanos han mentido cual arroyo: pasáronse como corrientes impetuosas,
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
