1 El Señor volvió a responder a Job:
1 Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
2 ¿Va a darle lecciones al Todopoderoso el que protesta contra él? ¡Que responda el que discute con Dios!
2 “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3 Job respondió al Señor:
3 Then Job answered Yahweh,
4 Soy insignificante. ¿Qué puedo responderte? Me taparé la boca con la mano.
4 “Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5 He hablado una vez, y aun dos veces, pero no volveré a hacerlo.
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6 Entonces el Señor respondió a Job desde el torbellino:
6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:
7 Prepárate como un guerrero; yo te haré preguntas y tú me responderás.
7 “Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8 ¿Vas a dejar sin valor mi justicia? ¿Me declararás culpable para demostrar que tienes razón?
8 Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9 ¿Tienes un brazo como el de Dios? ¿Puede tu voz tronar como la suya?
9 Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Ponte los adornos de tu grandeza; vístete de gloria y poder.
10 “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
11 Deja que tu ira se desborde; mira a todos los orgullosos y humíllalos.
11 Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12 Destruye a todos los que se engrandecen y derriba a los pecadores de sus lugares.
12 Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13 Cúbrelos juntos con el polvo; que sus rostros queden en la oscuridad del lugar oculto de los muertos.
13 Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 Entonces te alabaré y reconoceré que tu mano derecha puede salvarte.
14 Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 Mira la gran bestia, que hice igual que a ti. Come pasto como el buey.
15 “See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16 Su fuerza está en su cuerpo y su vigor, en los músculos de su vientre.
16 Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17 Su cola se curva como un cedro y los músculos de sus patas están entrelazados.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 Sus huesos son tubos de bronce y sus patas son barras de hierro.
18 His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19 Es la principal de las obras de Dios; solo su Creador puede acercarle la espada.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20 Come lo que producen las montañas, donde juegan todos los animales del campo.
20 Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21 Descansa bajo los árboles del río y en el pantano, a la sombra de las plantas acuáticas.
21 He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22 Las ramas de los árboles lo cubren y los pastos del arroyo lo rodean.
22 The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23 Aunque el río se desborde, no siente miedo; está tranquilo aunque el Jordán se precipite contra su boca.
23 Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24 ¿Puede alguien capturarlo mientras está atento o atravesarle la nariz con dientes de metal?
24 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

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).
According to Job, there was in the waters the dragon that draweth up Jordan into his mouth.
