Eliú censura a Job
Por tanto, Job, oye ahora mi discurso,y presta atención a todas mis palabrasa.2 He aquí, ahora abro mi boca,en mi paladar habla mi lengua.3 Mis palabras proceden de la rectitud de mi corazón,y con sinceridad mis labios hablan lo que saben1a.4 El Espíritu de Dios me ha hechoa,y el aliento del Todopoderoso1 me da vidab.5 Contradíceme si puedesa;colócate delante de mí, ponte en pie.6 He aquí, yo como tú, pertenezco a Dios;del barro yo también he sido formado1a.7 He aquí, mi temor no te debe espantar,ni mi mano1 agravarse sobre tia.
8 Ciertamente has hablado a oídos míos,y el sonido de tus palabras he oído:9 «Yo soy limpioa, sin transgresiónb;soy inocente y en mí no hay culpac.10 »He aquí, Él busca1 pretextos contra mí;me tiene por enemigo suyoa.11 »Pone mis pies en el cepo;vigila todas mis sendasa».12 He aquí, déjame decirte1 que no tienes razón en esto,porque Dios es más grande que el hombrea.
13 ¿Por qué te quejas contra Él,diciendo que no da cuenta de todas sus accionesa?14 Ciertamente Dios habla una vez,y otra vez1a, pero nadie se da cuenta de ello.15 aEn un sueño, en una visión nocturna,cuando un sueño profundo cae sobre los hombres,mientras dormitan en sus lechos,16 entonces Él abre el oído de los hombres,y sella su instruccióna,17 para apartar al hombre de sus obras,y del orgullo guardarlo1;18 libra su alma de la fosaay su vida de pasar al Seol1b.
19 El hombre es castigado también con dolor en su lecho,y con queja continua en sus huesosa,20 para que su vida aborrezca el pan,y su alma el alimento favoritoa.21 Su carne desaparece a la vistaa,y sus huesos que no se veían, aparecenb.22 Entonces su alma se acerca a la fosaa,y su vida a los que causan la muerte.
23 Si hay un ángel que sea su mediadora,uno entre mil,para declarar al hombre lo que es bueno para él1,24 y que tenga piedad de él, y diga:«Líbralo de descender a la fosaa,he hallado su rescateb»;25 que su carne se vuelva más tierna que en su juventud,que regrese a los días de su vigor juvenil.26 Entonces orará a Dios, y Él lo aceptaráa,para que vea con gozo su rostrob,y restaure su justicia al hombre.27 Cantará él a los hombres y dirá:«He pecadoa y pervertido lo que es justob,y no es apropiado para mí.28 »Él ha redimido mi alma de descender a la fosa,y mi vida verá la luza».
29 He aquí, Dios hace todo esto a menudo1 con los hombresa,30 para rescatar su alma de la fosaa,para que sea iluminado con la luz de la vida.31 Pon atención, Job, escúchame;calla, y déjame hablar.32 Si algo tienes que decir1, respóndeme;habla, porque deseo justificarte.33 Si no, escúchame;calla, y te enseñaré sabiduríaa.

Elihu Claims to Speak for God
“However now, Job, please ahear my speech,And listen to all my words.2 “Behold now, I open my mouth,My tongue in my 1mouth speaks.3 “My words are from the uprightness of my heart,And my lips speak aknowledge sincerely.4 “The aSpirit of God has made me,And the bbreath of 1the Almighty gives me life.5 “aRefute me if you can;Array yourselves before me, take your stand.6 “Behold, I belong to God like you;I too have been 1formed out of the aclay.7 “Behold, ano fear of me should terrify you,Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing,And I have heard the sound of your words:9 ‘I am apure, bwithout transgression;I am innocent and there cis no guilt in me.10 ‘Behold, He 1invents pretexts against me;He acounts me as His enemy.11 ‘He aputs my feet in the stocks;He watches all my paths.’12 “Behold, let me 1tell you, ayou are not right in this,For God is greater than man.
13 “Why do you acomplain against HimThat He does not give an account of all His doings?14 “Indeed aGod speaks once,Or twice, yet no one notices it.15 “In a adream, a vision of the night,When sound sleep falls on men,While they slumber in their beds,16 Then aHe opens the ears of men,And seals their instruction,17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct,And 1keep man from pride;18 He akeeps back his soul from the pit,And his life from 1passing over binto Sheol.
19 “1Man is also chastened with apain on his bed,And with unceasing complaint in his bones;20 So that his life aloathes bread,And his soul favorite food.21 “His aflesh wastes away from sight,And his bbones which were not seen stick out.22 “Then ahis soul draws near to the pit,And his life to those who bring death.
23 “If there is an angel as amediator for him,One out of a thousand,To remind a man what is 1right for him,24 Then let him be gracious to him, and say,‘Deliver him from agoing down to the pit,I have found a bransom’;25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;26 Then he will apray to God, and He will accept him,That bhe may see His face with joy,And He may restore His righteousness to man.27 “He will sing to men and say,‘I ahave sinned and perverted what is right,And it is not bproper for me.28 ‘He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,And my life shall asee the light.’
29 “Behold, God does aall these 1oftentimes with men,30 To abring back his soul from the pit,That he may be enlightened with the light of life.31 “Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;Keep silent, and let me speak.32 “Then if 1you have anything to say, answer me;Speak, for I desire to justify you.33 “If not, alisten to me;Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
