35 versículos · Amplified Bible, 2015
1Then Job answered and said,
2"Yes, I know it is true. But how can a mortal man be right before God?
3"If one should want to contend or dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.
4"God is wise in heart and mighty in strength; Who has defied or challenged Him and remained unharmed?
5"It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know it, When He overturns them in His anger;
6Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;
7Who commands the sun, and it does not shine; Who seals up the stars ;
8Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea;
9Who made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the spaces of the south;
10Who does great things, unfathomable, Yes, marvelous and wondrous things without number.
11"Behold, He passes by me, and I do not see Him; He moves past me, but I do not perceive Him.
12"Behold, He snatches away; who can restrain or turn Him back? Who will say to Him, 'What are You doing?'
13"God will not turn back His anger; The helpers of Rahab bow under Him.
14"How can I answer Him , Choosing my words with Him?
15For though I were righteous, I could not answer. I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge.
16"If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.
17"For He bruises me with a tempest And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18"He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills and saturates me with bitterness.
19"If it is a matter of strength and power, behold, He is mighty! And if of justice, who can summon and challenge Him?
20"Though I am innocent and in the right, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty; Though I am blameless, He would denounce me as guilty.
21" I am blameless, I do not care about myself; I despise my life.
22"It is all one; therefore I say, 'He destroys the blameless and the wicked.'
23"When scourge kills suddenly, He mocks at the despair of the innocent.
24"The earth is given into the hands of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges . If it is not He, then who is it ?
25"Now my days are swifter than a runner; They vanish, they see no good.
26"They pass by like the boats made of reeds, Like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.
27"If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my sad appearance, and be cheerful and brighten up,'
28I am afraid of all my pains and worries ; I know that You will not acquit me and leave me unpunished.
29"I am accounted wicked and held guilty; Why then should I labor in vain ?
30"If I were to wash myself with snow And cleanse my hands with lye,
31You would still plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would hate me .
32"For God is not a man, as I am, that I may answer Him, That we may go to court and judgment together.
33"There is no arbitrator between us, Who could lay his hand upon us both .
34"Let Him take His rod away from me, And let not the dread and fear of Him terrify me.
35"Then I would speak and not fear Him; But I am not like that in myself.
