Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
1 POR tanto, Job, oye ahora mis razones, y escucha todas mis palabras.
2 Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws.
2 He aquí yo abriré ahora mi boca, y mi lengua hablará en mi garganta.
3 My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence.
3 Mis razones [declararán] la rectitud de mi corazón, y mis labios proferirán pura sabiduría.
4 The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
4 El espíritu de Dios me hizo, y la inspiración del Omnipotente me dió vida.
5 If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face.
5 Si pudieres, respóndeme; dispón [tus palabras], está delante de mí.
6 Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed.
6 Heme aquí á mí en lugar de Dios, conforme á tu dicho: de lodo soy yo también formado.
7 But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee.
7 He aquí que mi terror no te espantará, ni mi mano se agravará sobre ti.
8 Now thou has said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words:
8 De cierto tú dijiste á oídos míos, y yo oí la voz de tus palabras [que decían]:
9 I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me.
9 Yo soy limpio y sin defecto; y soy inocente, y no hay maldad en mí.
10 Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy.
10 He aquí que él buscó achaques contra mí, y me tiene por su enemigo;
11 He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths.
11 Puso mis pies en el cepo, y guardó todas mis sendas.
12 Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
12 He aquí en esto no has hablado justamente: yo te responderé que mayor es Dios que el hombre.
13 Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?
13 ¿Por qué tomaste pleito contra él? Porque él no da cuenta de ninguna de sus razones.
14 God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time.
14 Sin embargo, en una ó en dos [maneras] habla Dios; [mas el hombre] no entiende.
15 By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds:
15 Por sueño de visión nocturna, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres, cuando se adormecen sobre el lecho;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn.
16 Entonces revela al oído de los hombres, y les señala su consejo;
17 That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.
17 Para quitar al hombre de [su] obra, y apartar del varón la soberbia.
18 Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword.
18 Detendrá su alma de corrupción, y su vida de que pase á cuchillo.
19 He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither.
19 También sobre su cama es castigado con dolor fuerte en todos sus huesos,
20 Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired.
20 Que le hace que su vida aborrezca el pan, y su alma la comida suave.
21 His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare.
21 Su carne desfallece sin verse, y sus huesos, que antes no se veían, aparecen.
22 His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.
22 Y su alma se acerca al sepulcro, y su vida á los que causan la muerte.
23 If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man’s uprightness,
23 Si tuviera cerca de él [algún] elocuente anunciador muy escogido, que anuncie al hombre su deber;
24 He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him.
24 Que le diga que [Dios] tuvo de él misericordia, que lo libró de descender al sepulcro, que halló redención:
25 His flesh is consumed with punishment, let him return to the days of his youth.
25 Enterneceráse su carne más que de niño, volverá á los días de su mocedad.
26 He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice.
26 Orará á Dios, y le amará, y verá su faz con júbilo: y él restituirá al hombre su justicia.
27 He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
27 El mira sobre los hombres; y [el que] dijere: Pequé, y pervertí lo recto, y no me ha aprovechado;
28 He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light.
28 [Dios] redimirá su alma, que no pase al sepulcro, y su vida se verá en luz.
29 Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one.
29 He aquí, todas estas cosas hace Dios dos y tres veces con el hombre;
30 That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.
30 Para apartar su alma del sepulcro, y para iluminarlo con la luz de los vivientes.
31 Attend, Job, and hearken to me: and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.
31 Escucha, Job, y óyeme; calla, y yo hablaré.
32 But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would have thee to appear just.
32 Que si tuvieres razones, respóndeme: habla, porque yo te quiero justificar.
33 And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33 Y si no, óyeme tú á mí; calla, y enseñarte he sabiduría.

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).
Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
