Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 And Elihu continued, and said,
1 ADEMÁS respondió Eliú, y dijo:
2 Hear me, ye wise men; Hearken, ye that have knowledge.
2 Oid, sabios, mis palabras; y vosotros, doctos, estadme atentos.
3 For the ear tries words, And the mouth tastes meat.
3 Porque el oído prueba las palabras, como el paladar gusta para comer.
4 Let us choose judgment to ourselves: Let us know among ourselves what is right.
4 Escojamos para nosotros el juicio, conozcamos entre nosotros cuál [sea] lo bueno:
5 For Job has said, I am righteous: The Lord has removed my judgment.
5 Porque Job ha dicho: Yo soy justo, y Dios me ha quitado mi derecho.
6 And he has erred in my judgment: My wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine].
6 ¿He de mentir yo contra mi razón? Mi saeta es gravosa sin [haber yo] prevaricado.
7 What man is as Job, Drinking scorning like water?
7 ¿Qué hombre hay como Job, que bebe el escarnio como agua?
8 [Saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, Nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, To go with the ungodly.
8 Y va en compañía con los que obran iniquidad, y anda con los hombres maliciosos.
9 For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, Whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord.
9 Porque ha dicho: De nada servirá al hombre el conformar su voluntad con Dios.
10 Wherefore hear me, ye that are wise in heart: Far be it from me to sin before the Lord, And to pervert righteousness before the Almighty.
10 Por tanto, varones de seso, oidme: Lejos esté de Dios la impiedad, y del Omnipotente la iniquidad.
11 Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, And in a man’s path he will find him.
11 Porque él pagará al hombre según su obra, y él le hará hallar conforme á su camino.
12 And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, Or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment?
12 Sí, por cierto, Dios no hará injusticia, y el Omnipotente no pervertirá el derecho.
13 And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, And all things therein?
13 ¿Quién visitó por él la tierra? ¿y quién puso en orden todo el mundo?
14 For if he would confine, And restrain his spirit with himself;
14 Si él pusiese sobre el [hombre] su corazón, y recogiese así su espíritu y su aliento,
15 All flesh would die together, And every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.
15 Toda carne perecería juntamente, y el hombre se tornaría en polvo.
16 Take heed lest he rebuke [thee]: Hear this, hearken to the voice of words.
16 Si pues [hay en ti] entendimiento, oye esto: escucha la voz de mis palabras.
17 Behold then the one that hates iniquities, And that destroys the wicked, Who is forever just.
17 ¿Enseñorearáse el que aborrece juicio? ¿y condenarás tú al que es tan justo?
18 [He is] ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, [That says] to princes, O most ungodly one.
18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?
19 [Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honorable man, Neither knows how to give honor to the great, So that their persons should be respected.
19 ¿[Cuánto menos á] aquel que no hace acepción de personas de príncipes, ni el rico es de él más respetado que el pobre? porque todos son obras de sus manos.
20 But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; For they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right].
20 En un momento morirán, y á media noche se alborotarán los pueblos, y pasarán, y sin mano será quitado el poderoso.
21 For he surveys the works of men, And nothing of what they do has escaped him.
21 Porque sus ojos están sobre los caminos del hombre, y ve todos sus pasos.
22 Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.
22 No hay tinieblas ni sombra de muerte donde se encubran los que obran maldad.
23 For he will not lay upon a man more [than right].
23 No carga pues él al hombre más [de lo justo], para que vaya con Dios á juicio.
24 For the Lord looks down upon all men, Who comprehends unsearchable things, Glorious also and excellent things without number.
24 El quebrantará á los fuertes sin pesquisa, y hará estar otros en su lugar.
25 Who discovers their works, And will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low.
25 Por tanto él hará notorias las obras de ellos, cuando los trastornará en la noche, y serán quebrantados.
26 And he quite destroys the ungodly, For they are seen before him.
26 Como á malos los herirá en lugar donde sean vistos:
27 Because they turned aside from the law of God, And did not regard his ordinances,
27 Por cuanto así se apartaron de él, y no consideraron todos sus caminos;
28 So as to bring before him the cry of the needy; For he will hear the cry of the poor.
28 Haciendo venir delante de él el clamor del pobre, y que oiga el clamor de los necesitados.
29 And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? And he will hide his face, and who shall see him? Whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also:
29 Y si él diere reposo, ¿quién inquietará? si escondiere el rostro, ¿quién lo mirará? [Esto] sobre una nación, y lo mismo sobre un hombre;
30 Causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.
30 Haciendo que no reine el hombre hipócrita para vejaciones del pueblo.
31 For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge:
31 De seguro conviene se diga á Dios: Llevado he ya [castigo], no [más] ofenderé:
32 I will see apart from myself: Do thou show me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] anymore.
32 Enséñame tú lo que yo no veo: que si hice mal, no lo haré más.
33 Will he take vengeance for it on thee, Whereas thou wilt put [it] far [from thee]? For thou shalt choose, and not I; And what thou knowest, speak thou.
33 ¿[Ha de ser eso] según tu mente? El te retribuirá, ora rehuses, ora aceptes, y no yo: di si no, lo que tú sabes.
34 Because the wise in heart shall say this, And a wise man listens to my word.
34 Los hombres de seso dirán conmigo, y el hombre sabio me oirá:
35 But Job has not spoken with understanding, His words are not [uttered] with knowledge.
35 Que Job no habla con sabiduría, y que sus palabras no son con entendimiento.
36 Howbeit do thou learn, Job: No longer make answer as the foolish:
36 Deseo yo que Job sea probado ampliamente, á causa de sus respuestas por los hombres inicuos.
37 That we add not to our sins: For iniquity will be reckoned against us, If [we] speak many words before the Lord.
37 Porque á su pecado añadió impiedad: bate las manos entre nosotros, y contra Dios multiplica sus palabras.

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 …
