1 Ahora, Job, escucha mis palabras y presta atención a todo lo que digo.
1 “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 Ya he abierto la boca y mi lengua comienza a hablar.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 Mi corazón está lleno de conocimiento y mis labios dicen la verdad.
3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 El Espíritu de Dios me hizo y el aliento del Todopoderoso me da vida.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Si puedes, respóndeme; prepara tu causa y preséntala.
5 If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 Ante Dios soy igual que tú; también fui formado del mismo barro.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 No tendrás que temerme ni sentirás pesada mi mano sobre ti.
7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 Te oí decir estas palabras:
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 «Soy puro, sin pecado; estoy limpio y no hay maldad en mí.
9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Pero Dios busca algo contra mí y me considera uno de sus enemigos.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 Encadena mis pies y vigila todos mis caminos».
11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 Al decir eso te equivocas, pues Dios es más grande que el hombre.
12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 ¿Por qué presentas tu causa contra él diciendo: «No responde a ninguna de mis palabras»?
13 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 Dios habla de una manera y de otra, pero el hombre no lo percibe.
14 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 Habla en sueños, en visiones nocturnas, cuando los hombres duermen profundamente en sus camas.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 Entonces les revela sus secretos y los llena de temor por lo que ven,
16 then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 para apartarlos de sus malas acciones y quitarles el orgullo,
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 para librarlos del lugar de los muertos y salvar su vida de la destrucción.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 También reciben el castigo del dolor en su cama, con un sufrimiento que no cesa en sus huesos.
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 Ya no desean comer; hasta los alimentos más sabrosos les producen rechazo.
20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 Su carne se consume hasta desaparecer y quedan al descubierto los huesos que antes no se veían.
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Su vida se acerca al lugar de los muertos, a los ángeles de la muerte.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 Si hay un ángel enviado al hombre, uno de los miles que hay entre él y Dios, para mostrarle lo que es justo para él,
23 “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24 y si Dios se compadece de él y dice: «Que no baje al lugar de los muertos; he pagado el precio de su vida»,
24 then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 su cuerpo vuelve a ser joven y recupera el vigor de sus primeros años.
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 Ora a Dios y Dios tiene misericordia de él. Ve su rostro con gritos de alegría y anuncia a los hombres su justicia.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 Canta diciendo: «Pequé y me aparté del camino recto, pero Dios no me castigó como merecía mi pecado.
27 He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28 Me libró del lugar de los muertos y ahora disfruto plenamente de la luz».
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 Dios hace todo esto por el hombre dos y tres veces,
29 “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 para librarlo del lugar de los muertos y darle la luz de la vida.
30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Presta atención, Job, y escúchame. Guarda silencio mientras hablo.
31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 Si tienes algo que decir, respóndeme; deseo que se reconozca tu inocencia.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 Si no, escúchame y guarda silencio; yo te enseñaré sabiduría.
33 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

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).
Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
