CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 But Eliphaz the Themanite, answering, said:
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Eliphaz Temanita, y dijo:
2 Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking wind, and will he fill his stomach with fire?
2 ¿Si proferirá el sabio vana sabiduría, y henchirá su vientre de viento solano?
3 You rebuke with words he who is not equal to you, and you speak what is not expedient for you,
3 ¿Disputará con palabras inútiles, y con razones sin provecho?
4 to such an extent that, within yourself, you have expelled reverence and have taken away prayers from the presence of God.
4 Tú también disipas el temor, y menoscabas la oración delante de Dios.
5 For your iniquity has mislead your mouth, and you imitate the tongue of blasphemers.
5 Porque tu boca declaró tu iniquidad, pues has escogido el hablar de los astutos.
6 Your own mouth will condemn you, not I; and your own lips will answer you.
6 Tu boca te condenará, y no yo; y tus labios testificarán contra ti.
7 Are you the first man who was born, or were you formed before the hills?
7 ¿Naciste tú primero que Adam? ¿ó fuiste formado antes que los collados?
8 Have you heard the intentions of God, and will his wisdom be inferior to you?
8 ¿Oíste tú el secreto de Dios, que detienes en ti solo la sabiduría?
9 What do you know, about which we are ignorant? What do you understand that we do not know?
9 ¿Qué sabes tú que no sepamos? ¿qué entiendes que no se halle en nosotros?
10 There are with us both aged and ancient men, even more senior than your fathers.
10 Entre nosotros también hay cano, también hay viejo mucho mayor en días que tu padre.
11 Is it so important that God should console you? But your own depraved words prevent this.
11 ¿En tan poco tienes las consolaciones de Dios? ¿tienes acaso alguna cosa oculta cerca de ti?
12 Why does your heart exalt you, and why do you gaze with your eyes, as if thinking great things?
12 ¿Por qué te enajena tu corazón, y por qué guiñan tus ojos,
13 Why does your spirit stir against God, so as to utter such speeches from your mouth?
13 Pues haces frente á Dios con tu espíritu, y sacas [tales] palabras de tu boca?
14 What is man that he should be immaculate, and that he should appear just, having been born of woman?
14 ¿Qué cosa es el hombre para que sea limpio, y que se justifique el nacido de mujer?
15 Behold, among his holy ones not one is immutable, and even the heavens are not pure in his sight.
15 He aquí que en sus santos no confía, y ni los cielos son limpios delante de sus ojos:
16 How much more abominable and useless is the man who drinks as if from the water of iniquity?
16 ¿Cuánto menos el hombre abominable y vil, que bebe la iniquidad como agua?
17 I will reveal to you, so listen to me; and I will explain to you what I have seen.
17 Escúchame; yo te mostraré y te contaré lo que he visto:
18 The wise acknowledge, and they do not leave behind, their fathers,
18 (Lo que los sabios nos contaron de sus padres, y no lo encubrieron;
19 to whom alone the earth has been given, and no stranger passed among them.
19 A los cuales solos fué dada la tierra, y no pasó extraño por medio de ellos:)
20 The impious is arrogant for all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
20 Todos los días del impío, él es atormentado de dolor, y el número de años es escondido al violento.
21 The sound of terror is always in his ears; and when there is peace, he always suspects treason.
21 Estruendos espantosos hay en sus oídos; en la paz le vendrá quien lo asuele.
22 He does not believe that it is possible for him to be turned from darkness into the light, for he sees around him the sword on every side.
22 El no creerá que ha de volver de las tinieblas, y está mirando al cuchillo.
23 When he moves himself to seek bread, he knows that the day of darkness has been prepared for his hand.
23 Desasosegado á comer siempre, sabe que le está aparejado día de tinieblas.
24 Tribulation will terrify him, and anguish will prevail over him, like a king who is being prepared to go to battle.
24 Tribulación y angustia le asombrarán, y esforzaránse contra él como un rey apercibido para la batalla.
25 For he has extended his hand against God, and he has strengthened himself against the Almighty.
25 Por cuanto él extendió su mano contra Dios, y se esforzó contra el Todopoderoso,
26 He has rushed against him with his throat exposed, and he has been armed with a fat neck.
26 El le acometerá en la cerviz, en lo grueso de las hombreras de sus escudos:
27 Thickness has covered his face, and lard hangs down from his sides.
27 Porque cubrió su rostro con su gordura, é hizo pliegues sobre los ijares;
28 He has lived in desolate cities and deserted houses, which have been turned into tombs.
28 Y habitó las ciudades asoladas, las casas inhabitadas, que estaban puestas en montones.
29 He will not be enriched, nor will his basic necessities endure, nor will he establish his root in the earth.
29 No enriquecerá, ni será firme su potencia, ni extenderá por la tierra su hermosura.
30 He will not withdraw from the darkness; the flame will burn up his branches, and he will be defeated by the breath of his own mouth.
30 No se escapará de las tinieblas: la llama secará sus ramos, y con el aliento de su boca perecerá.
31 He will not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he could be redeemed at any price.
31 No confíe el iluso en la vanidad; porque ella será su recompensa.
32 Before his time is completed, he will pass into ruin and his hands will wither away.
32 El será cortado antes de su tiempo, y sus renuevos no reverdecerán.
33 He will be wounded like a grapevine, when its cluster is in first flower, and like an olive tree that casts off its flower.
33 El perderá su agraz como la vid, y derramará su flor como la oliva.
34 For the congregation of the hypocrites is fruitless, and fire will devour the tabernacles of those who love to accept money.
34 Porque la sociedad de los hipócritas será asolada, y fuego consumirá las tiendas de soborno.
35 He has conceived sorrow, and he has brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepares deceit.
35 Concibieron dolor, y parieron iniquidad; y las entrañas de ellos meditan engaño.

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 15:26 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters VII–IX)

    But when I lifted myself proudly against Thee, and "ran against the Lord, even on His neck, with the thick bosses" of my buckler, even these inferior things were placed above me, and pressed upon me, and nowhere was there alleviation or breathing space.

  2. Quotes verse 15:13 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 3–4)

    … the Lord;" for enantion means both "before" and "against." In the Psalm this word is rendered, "Let us weep before the Lord our Maker." The same word occurs in the book of Job, where it is written, "Thou hast broken into fury against the Lord." And so this giant is to be recognized as a "hunter against the Lord." And …

  3. Quotes verse 15:26 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XLVI)

    "He runneth against God, upon the stiff neck of his shield." What is, "upon the stiff neck of his shield"?
