Job 18
Dios Habla Hoy
Bildad
18 ¿Cuándo va a dejar de hablar esta gente?
Si fuera razonable, podríamos hablar.
3 ¿Por qué se nos trata como animales
y se nos considera estúpidos?
4 ¿Crees tú que por desgarrarte rabiosamente
va a quedar desierta la tierra
o las rocas van a cambiar de lugar?
5 Al malvado se le apagará la luz,
y su fuego no volverá a dar llama.
6 Su lámpara se apagará;
en su casa no brillará la luz.
7 Su paso firme perderá fuerza,
y quedará atrapado en su propia trampa.
8 Se pondrá una red a su paso,
y en esa red quedará atrapado.
9 Se tenderá un lazo a sus pies,
y alrededor del tobillo se le cerrará el nudo.
10 La trampa estará oculta en el camino
para atraparle cuando pase.
11 Por todas partes se siente amenazado;
se siente perseguido a cada paso.
12 Sus fuerzas se acaban por el hambre;
la desgracia está lista a caerle encima.
13 La enfermedad, hija preferida de la muerte,
le devora la carne poco a poco.
14 Arrancado es también de la paz de su hogar
y llevado a rastras ante el rey del terror.
15 Se prende fuego a su casa;
sus posesiones son rociadas con azufre.
16 Es como un árbol de raíces secas
y ramas marchitas.
17 Su recuerdo se borrará de la tierra
y no se volverá a pronunciar su nombre.
18 Lo arrojarán de la luz a las tinieblas;
lo expulsarán de este mundo.
19 No tendrá descendientes en su pueblo;
nadie en su casa quedará con vida.
20 Cuando sepan su destino, en oriente y occidente
quedarán espantados, llenos de terror.
21 En eso acaba la vida del malvado,
del hombre que desprecia a Dios.
Job 18
King James Version
18 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
