| BSB 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: | NBVE 1 Respuesta de Elifaz de Temán: |
| BSB 2 “Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind? | NBVE 2 «¿Debe un sabio como tú hablar así? Tus argumentos son puro viento. |
| BSB 3 Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose? | NBVE 3 No está bien hablar tan neciamente. ¿Qué bien hacen tales palabras? |
| BSB 4 But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him. | NBVE 4–5 ¿No tienes temor de Dios? ¿No le tienes reverencia? Tus pecados inspiran las palabras de tu boca. Lo que dices se funda en astuto engaño. |
| BSB 5 For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty. | |
| BSB 6 Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you. | NBVE 6 ¿Por qué habría yo de condenarte? De ello se encarga tu propia boca. |
| BSB 7 Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? | NBVE 7–8 »¿Eres acaso el hombre más sabio que ha existido? ¿Naciste antes que fueran hechas las colinas? ¿Tienes parte en el consejo de Dios? ¿Acaso eres tú el único sabio? |
| BSB 8 Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself? | |
| BSB 9 What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us? | NBVE 9 ¿Qué sabes tú más que nosotros? ¿Qué entiendes que no entendamos? |
| BSB 10 Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side—men much older than your father. | NBVE 10 Hay entre nosotros ancianos mucho mayores que tu padre. |
| BSB 11 Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you? | NBVE 11 El consuelo de Dios, ¿será demasiado insignificante para ti? ¿Es su dulzura demasiado áspera? |
| BSB 12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash, | NBVE 12 »¿Qué haces, dejándote arrastrar por la ira? ¿Por qué te relampaguean los ojos? |
| BSB 13 so that you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth? | NBVE 13 ¿Por qué te vuelves contra Dios y le echas en cara todos estos perversos razonamientos? |
| BSB 14 What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous? | NBVE 14 »¿Qué hombre en toda la tierra podrá ser tan puro y justo como tú dices ser? |
| BSB 15 If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes, | NBVE 15 ¡Vaya! ¡Dios no confía ni siquiera en los ángeles! ¡Ni siquiera los cielos pueden ser absolutamente puros comparados con él! |
| BSB 16 how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water? | NBVE 16 ¡Cuánto menos uno como tú, corrupto y pecaminoso, que bebe el pecado como agua! |
| BSB 17 Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen, | NBVE 17–19 »Escúchame, y te responderé por experiencia propia, confirmada con la experiencia de los sabios varones que recibieron esto de sus padres, nuestros antepasados, los únicos a quienes se les dio la tierra. |
| BSB 18 what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers, | |
| BSB 19 to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them. | |
| BSB 20 A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless. | NBVE 20 El hombre impío anda siempre atribulado en su vida. |
| BSB 21 Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him. | NBVE 21 Está cercado de terrores, y si tiene días buenos, pronto se le desvanecen. |
| BSB 22 He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword. | NBVE 22 No se atreve a salir en la oscuridad, por miedo a que lo maten. |
| BSB 23 He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand. | NBVE 23–24 Anda errante mendigando alimento. Vive en el temor, la zozobra y la angustia. Sus enemigos lo vencen como un rey que derrota a sus enemigos. |
| BSB 24 Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack. | |
| BSB 25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty, | NBVE 25–26 Protegiéndose con escudo de latón, alza el puño contra Dios, desafiando al Todopoderoso, atacándolo neciamente. |
| BSB 26 rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield. | |
| BSB 27 Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh, | NBVE 27–28 »Este perverso hombre está gordo y rico, y ha vivido en ciudades conquistadas luego de matar a sus habitantes. |
| BSB 28 he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble. | |
| BSB 29 He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land. | NBVE 29 Pero no será siempre rico ni continuará extendiendo sus posesiones. |
| BSB 30 He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away. | NBVE 30 No; las tinieblas lo envolverán para siempre; el aliento de Dios lo destruirá; el fuego consumirá cuanto posee. |
| BSB 31 Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward. | NBVE 31 Que ya no confíe en vanas riquezas; que no se engañe más, pues el dinero en que confía será su única recompensa. |
| BSB 32 It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish. | NBVE 32 Antes que muera, toda esa insignificancia le saltará a la vista. Porque todo lo que constituía su seguridad, desaparecerá, |
| BSB 33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms. | NBVE 33 y caerá en tierra como uva marchita. ¡Qué poca sustancia darán sus esperanzas! |
| BSB 34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery. | NBVE 34 Porque los impíos son estériles: no logran producir nada realmente bueno. El fuego de Dios los consume junto con todas sus posesiones. |
| BSB 35 They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.” | NBVE 35 Lo único que pueden concebir es pecado; su corazón sólo da a luz maldad». |
