BES Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Otro día, los hijos de Dios se presentaron ante el Señor, y Satanás llegó entre ellos.
1 Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh.
2 El Señor le preguntó a Satanás: «¿De dónde vienes?». Satanás respondió: «De recorrer la tierra y andar por ella».
2 Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
3 El Señor le dijo: «¿Te has fijado en mi siervo Job? No hay nadie como él en la tierra. Es íntegro y recto, teme a Dios y se aparta del mal. Todavía conserva su integridad, aunque me incitaste a arruinarlo sin motivo».
3 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
4 Satanás respondió al Señor: «¡Piel por piel! El hombre dará todo lo que tiene por salvar su vida.
4 Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5 Pero extiende la mano y ataca sus huesos y su carne. ¡Verás cómo te maldice en la cara!».
5 But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6 El Señor le dijo a Satanás: «Queda en tus manos, pero no le quites la vida».
6 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
7 Satanás salió de la presencia del Señor y golpeó a Job con una terrible enfermedad de la piel, desde los pies hasta la cabeza.
7 So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8 Job tomó un trozo de una vasija rota para rascarse y se sentó en el polvo.
8 He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
9 Su esposa le dijo: «¿Todavía conservas tu integridad? ¡Maldice a Dios y muere!».
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
10 Él respondió: «Hablas como una mujer necia. Si aceptamos lo bueno que Dios nos manda, ¿no aceptaremos también la desgracia?». En todo esto, Job no pecó con sus palabras.
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.
11 Los tres amigos de Job se enteraron de todas las desgracias que había sufrido. Cada uno salió de su lugar: Elifaz el temanita, Bildad el suhita y Zofar el naamatita. Acordaron reunirse para ir a acompañarlo en su dolor y consolarlo.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
12 Cuando lo vieron de lejos, no lo reconocieron por lo mucho que había cambiado. Lloraron amargamente, mostraron su dolor y se echaron polvo sobre la cabeza.
12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
13 Se sentaron en el suelo junto a él durante siete días y siete noches. Nadie le dijo una palabra, porque veían que su dolor era muy grande.
13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 2:10 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXXI)

    If we have received good from the hand of the Lord, shall we not bear the evil?"
