CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 After proclaiming these things, Eliu now had this to say:
1 ADEMÁS respondió Eliú, y dijo:
2 May the wise hear my words, and may the educated listen to me.
2 Oid, sabios, mis palabras; y vosotros, doctos, estadme atentos.
3 For the ear examines words, and the mouth discerns foods by the taste.
3 Porque el oído prueba las palabras, como el paladar gusta para comer.
4 Let us choose judgment for ourselves, and let us consider among ourselves what is best.
4 Escojamos para nosotros el juicio, conozcamos entre nosotros cuál [sea] lo bueno:
5 For Job has said: “I am just, yet God has subverted my judgment.
5 Porque Job ha dicho: Yo soy justo, y Dios me ha quitado mi derecho.
6 For, within my judgment, there is a lie: my vehement barbs are without any sin.”
6 ¿He de mentir yo contra mi razón? Mi saeta es gravosa sin [haber yo] prevaricado.
7 What man is there that is like Job, who drinks up derision as if it were water,
7 ¿Qué hombre hay como Job, que bebe el escarnio como agua?
8 who accompanies those who work iniquity, and who walks with impious men?
8 Y va en compañía con los que obran iniquidad, y anda con los hombres maliciosos.
9 For he has said, “Man will not please God, even if he should travel with him.”
9 Porque ha dicho: De nada servirá al hombre el conformar su voluntad con Dios.
10 Therefore, prudent men, hear me: impiety is far from God, and iniquity is far from the Almighty.
10 Por tanto, varones de seso, oidme: Lejos esté de Dios la impiedad, y del Omnipotente la iniquidad.
11 For he will restore to man his works, and according to the ways of each, he will repay them.
11 Porque él pagará al hombre según su obra, y él le hará hallar conforme á su camino.
12 For truly, God will not condemn in vain, nor will the Almighty repudiate judgment.
12 Sí, por cierto, Dios no hará injusticia, y el Omnipotente no pervertirá el derecho.
13 What other is established over the earth? Or whom has he placed over the world, which he made?
13 ¿Quién visitó por él la tierra? ¿y quién puso en orden todo el mundo?
14 But, if he directs his heart towards him, he will draw his spirit and breath to himself.
14 Si él pusiese sobre el [hombre] su corazón, y recogiese así su espíritu y su aliento,
15 All flesh will fail together, and man will return to ashes.
15 Toda carne perecería juntamente, y el hombre se tornaría en polvo.
16 Therefore, if you have understanding, hear what is said, and heed the sound of my eloquence.
16 Si pues [hay en ti] entendimiento, oye esto: escucha la voz de mis palabras.
17 Is he that does not love judgment able to be corrected? And how can you so greatly condemn him who is just?
17 ¿Enseñorearáse el que aborrece juicio? ¿y condenarás tú al que es tan justo?
18 He says to the king, “You are an apostate.” He calls commanders impious.
18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?
19 He does not accept the reputation of leaders; nor does he recognize the tyrant as he contends against the poor. For all are the work of his hands.
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 They will die suddenly, and the people will be troubled in the middle of the night, but they will pass through it, and the violent will be taken away without a hand.
20 En un momento morirán, y á media noche se alborotarán los pueblos, y pasarán, y sin mano será quitado el poderoso.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he examines all of their steps.
21 Porque sus ojos están sobre los caminos del hombre, y ve todos sus pasos.
22 There is no darkness and no shadow of death, where those who work iniquity may be hidden.
22 No hay tinieblas ni sombra de muerte donde se encubran los que obran maldad.
23 For it is no longer within the power of man to enter into judgment with God.
23 No carga pues él al hombre más [de lo justo], para que vaya con Dios á juicio.
24 He will break into many innumerable pieces, and he will cause others to stand up in their place.
24 El quebrantará á los fuertes sin pesquisa, y hará estar otros en su lugar.
25 For he knows their works, and, as a result, he will bring the night, and they will be crushed.
25 Por tanto él hará notorias las obras de ellos, cuando los trastornará en la noche, y serán quebrantados.
26 Just as the impious do, he has struck them in a place where they can be seen.
26 Como á malos los herirá en lugar donde sean vistos:
27 They, as if with great diligence, have withdrawn from him, and they refused to understand all his ways,
27 Por cuanto así se apartaron de él, y no consideraron todos sus caminos;
28 so that they caused the outcry of the needy to reach him, and he heard the voice of the poor.
28 Haciendo venir delante de él el clamor del pobre, y que oiga el clamor de los necesitados.
29 For, when he grants peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hides his face, who is there that can contemplate him, either among the nations, or among all men?
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 He causes a hypocritical man to reign because of the sins of the people.
30 Haciendo que no reine el hombre hipócrita para vejaciones del pueblo.
31 Therefore, since I have been speaking about God, I will not prevent you from doing the same.
31 De seguro conviene se diga á Dios: Llevado he ya [castigo], no [más] ofenderé:
32 If I have erred, you may teach me; if I have spoken unfairly, I will add no more.
32 Enséñame tú lo que yo no veo: que si hice mal, no lo haré más.
33 Does God require this of you because it is displeasing to you? For you were the first to speak, and not I. But if you know something better, speak.
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 Let men of understanding speak to me, and let a wise man listen to me.
34 Los hombres de seso dirán conmigo, y el hombre sabio me oirá:
35 But Job has been speaking foolishly, and his words contain unsound teaching.
35 Que Job no habla con sabiduría, y que sus palabras no son con entendimiento.
36 My father, let Job be tested even to the end; may you not retreat from a man of iniquity.
36 Deseo yo que Job sea probado ampliamente, á causa de sus respuestas por los hombres inicuos.
37 For he adds blasphemy on top of his sins; nevertheless, let him be constrained to be among us, and then let him provoke God to judgment with his speeches.
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).

  1. Quotes verse 34:30 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book V, Chapters 19–20)

    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 …
