1 Elihú continuó:
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
2 Escuchen mis palabras, ustedes los sabios; presten atención, ustedes que tienen conocimiento.
2 “Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
3 El oído distingue las palabras, como la boca distingue el sabor de los alimentos.
3 For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
4 Decidamos por nosotros mismos lo que es justo; averigüemos juntos lo que es bueno.
4 Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 Job ha dicho: «Soy justo y Dios me ha quitado mi derecho.
5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.
6 Aunque tengo razón, sigo sufriendo; mi herida no sana, aunque no he hecho nada malo».
6 Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
7 ¿Hay otro hombre como Job, que se burla de Dios sin ningún reparo
7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
8 y se junta con los malvados, siguiendo el camino de los pecadores?
8 who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
9 Él ha dicho: «De nada le sirve al hombre deleitarse en Dios».
9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’
10 Escúchenme, ustedes los sabios, los que tienen entendimiento. ¡Dios jamás haría el mal! ¡El Todopoderoso jamás cometería una injusticia!
10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 Le paga a cada hombre según sus obras y le da el fruto de su conducta.
11 For the work of a man he will give to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Dios no hace el mal y el Todopoderoso no juzga injustamente.
12 Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
13 ¿Quién puso la tierra a su cuidado? ¿Quién lo hizo responsable del mundo?
13 Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
14 Si recogiera su espíritu y retirara su aliento,
14 If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
15 todos los seres de carne morirían juntos y el hombre volvería al polvo.
15 all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
16 Si tienes entendimiento, escucha esto; presta atención a mis palabras.
16 “If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
17 ¿Puede gobernar alguien que odia la justicia? ¿Vas a llamar malo al que es justo y poderoso?
17 Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
18 Él les dice a los reyes: «Son malvados», y a los gobernantes: «Son pecadores».
18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
19 No favorece a los gobernantes ni prefiere al rico antes que al pobre, porque todos son obra de sus manos.
19 He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.
20 Mueren de repente, aun en medio de la noche. Un golpe alcanza a los ricos y desaparecen; los fuertes son eliminados sin intervención humana.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
21 Dios observa los caminos del hombre y ve todos sus pasos.
21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
22 No hay lugar oscuro ni nube espesa donde puedan esconderse los malvados.
22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 Él no le fija al hombre un tiempo para presentarse ante él y ser juzgado.
23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 Destruye a los fuertes sin investigar su causa y pone a otros en su lugar.
24 He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
25 Conoce sus obras; los derriba por la noche y quedan aplastados.
25 Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 Su ira golpea a los malvados; los castiga con fuerza a la vista de todos.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 Porque dejaron de seguirlo y no prestaron atención a sus caminos,
27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
28 hicieron que el clamor de los pobres subiera hasta él, que la súplica de los necesitados llegara a sus oídos.
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 Si Dios da tranquilidad, ¿quién puede condenar? Si oculta su rostro, ¿quién puede verlo? Así actúa tanto con una nación como con un hombre,
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
30 para que no gobierne el que desprecia a Dios ni haya quien tienda trampas al pueblo.
30 that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
31 ¿Le ha dicho alguien a Dios: «He soportado el castigo; no volveré a hacer mal;
31 “For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
32 enséñame lo que no veo; si he cometido una injusticia, no volveré a hacerlo»?
32 Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
33 ¿Debe Dios recompensarte según tus condiciones, porque rechazas las suyas? Tú debes elegir, no yo. Habla, pues, de lo que sabes.
33 Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
34 Los hombres de entendimiento, todos los sabios que me oyen, dirán:
34 Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
35 «Job habla sin conocimiento; sus palabras no son fruto de la sabiduría».
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’
36 ¡Que Job sea probado hasta el fin, porque responde como un malvado!
36 I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
37 A su pecado añade un corazón rebelde; ante nuestros ojos se burla de Dios y multiplica sus palabras contra él.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”

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).
in another place it is most unambiguously said of God, that He "maketh the man who is an hypocrite to reign on account of the perver sity of the people." Wherefore, though I have, according to my ability, shown for what reason God, who alone is true and just, helped forward the Romans, who were good according to a certain …
