1Está mi alma hastiada de mi vida; Daré libre curso a mi queja, Hablaré con amargura de mi alma.

2Diré a Dios: No me condenes; Hazme entender por qué contiendes conmigo.

3¿Te parece bien que oprimas, Que deseches la obra de tus manos, Y que favorezcas los designios de los impíos?

4¿Tienes tú acaso ojos de carne? ¿Ves tú como ve el hombre?

5¿Son tus días como los días del hombre, O tus años como los tiempos humanos,

6Para que inquieras mi iniquidad, Y busques mi pecado,

7Aunque tú sabes que no soy impío, Y que no hay quien de tu mano me libre?

8Tus manos me hicieron y me formaron; ¿Y luego te vuelves y me deshaces?

9Acuérdate que como a barro me diste forma; ¿Y en polvo me has de volver?

10¿No me vaciaste como leche, Y como queso me cuajaste?

11Me vestiste de piel y carne, Y me tejiste con huesos y nervios.

12Vida y misericordia me concediste, Y tu cuidado guardó mi espíritu.

13Estas cosas tienes guardadas en tu corazón; Yo sé que están cerca de ti.

14Si pequé, tú me has observado, Y no me tendrás por limpio de mi iniquidad.

15Si fuere malo, ¡ay de mí! Y si fuere justo, no levantaré mi cabeza, Estando hastiado de deshonra, y de verme afligido.

16Si mi cabeza se alzare, cual león tú me cazas; Y vuelves a hacer en mí maravillas.

17Renuevas contra mí tus pruebas, Y aumentas conmigo tu furor como tropas de relevo.

18¿Por qué me sacaste de la matriz? Hubiera yo expirado, y ningún ojo me habría visto.

19Fuera como si nunca hubiera existido, Llevado del vientre a la sepultura.

20¿No son pocos mis días? Cesa, pues, y déjame, para que me consuele un poco,

21Antes que vaya para no volver, A la tierra de tinieblas y de sombra de muerte;

22Tierra de oscuridad, lóbrega, Como sombra de muerte y sin orden, Y cuya luz es como densas tinieblas.

show me, &c.--Do not, by virtue of Thy mere sovereignty, treat me as guilty without showing me the reasons.

Job is unwilling to think God can have pleasure in using His power to "oppress" the weak, and to treat man, the work of His own hands, as of no value (Job 10:8; Psa 138:8). shine upon--favor with prosperity (Psa 50:2).

Versículo 4

Dost Thou see as feebly as man? that is, with the same uncharitable eye, as, for instance, Job's friends? Is Thy time as short? Impossible! Yet one might think, from the rapid succession of Thy strokes, that Thou hadst no time to spare in overwhelming me.

Versículo 7

"Although Thou (the Omniscient) knowest," &c. (connected with Job 10:6), "Thou searchest after my sin." and . . . that none that can deliver out of thine hand--Therefore Thou hast no need to deal with me with the rapid violence which man would use (see Job 10:6).

Made--with pains; implying a work of difficulty and art; applying to God language applicable only to man. together round about--implying that the human body is a complete unity, the parts of which on all sides will bear the closest scrutiny.

clay--Job 10:10 proves that the reference here is, not so much to the perishable nature of the materials, as to their wonderful fashioning by the divine potter.

In the organization of the body from its rude commencements, the original liquid gradually assumes a more solid consistency, like milk curdling into cheese (Psa 139:15-16). Science reveals that the chyle circulated by the lacteal vessels is the supply to every organ.

fenced--or "inlaid" (Psa 139:15); "curiously wrought" [UMBREIT]. In the fÅ“tus the skin appears first, then the flesh, then the harder parts.

is with thee--was Thy purpose. All God's dealings with Job in his creation, preservation, and present afflictions were part of His secret counsel (Psa 139:16; Act 15:18; Ecc 3:11).

Versículo 14

Job is perplexed because God "marks" every sin of his with such ceaseless rigor. Whether "wicked" (godless and a hypocrite) or "righteous" (comparatively sincere), God condemns and punishes alike.

Versículo 15

XII. lift up my head--in conscious innocence (Psa 3:3).

lift up my head--in conscious innocence (Psa 3:3). see thou--rather, "and seeing I see (I too well see) mine affliction," (which seems to prove me guilty) [UMBREIT].

Versículo 16

XIII. increaseth--rather, "(if) I lift up (my head) Thou wouldest hunt me," &c. [UMBREIT].

increaseth--rather, "(if) I lift up (my head) Thou wouldest hunt me," &c. [UMBREIT]. and again--as if a lion should not kill his prey at once, but come back and torture it again.

witnesses--His accumulated trials were like a succession of witnesses brought up in proof of his guilt, to wear out the accused. changes and war--rather, "(thou settest in array) against me host after host" (literally, "changes and a host," that is, a succession of hosts); namely, his afflictions, and then reproach upon reproach from his friends.

Versículo 20

But, since I was destined from my birth to these ills, at least give me a little breathing time during the few days left me (Job 9:34; Job 13:21; Psa 39:13).

Versículo 22

The ideas of order and light, disorder and darkness, harmonize (Gen 1:2). Three Hebrew words are used for darkness; in Job 10:21 (1) the common word "darkness"; here (2) "a land of gloom" (from a Hebrew root, "to cover up"); (3) as "thick darkness" or blackness (from a root, expressing sunset). "Where the light thereof is like blackness." Its only sunshine is thick darkness. A bold figure of poetry. Job in a better frame has brighter thoughts of the unseen world. But his views at best wanted the definite clearness of the Christian's. Compare with his words here Rev 21:23; Rev 22:5; Ti2 1:10. Next: Job Chapter 11
