1 Eliu also proceeded, and said:
1 Y AÑADIÓ Eliú, y dijo:
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to speak in God’s behalf.
2 Espérame un poco, y enseñarte he; porque todavía [tengo] razones en orden á Dios.
3 I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.
3 Tomaré mi noticia de lejos, y atribuiré justicia á mi Hacedor.
4 For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.
4 Porque de cierto no son mentira mis palabras; contigo [está] el que es íntegro en [sus] conceptos.
5 God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.
5 He aquí que Dios es grande, mas no desestima á nadie: es poderoso en fuerza de sabiduría.
6 But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.
6 No otorgará vida al impío, y á los afligidos dará su derecho.
7 He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.
7 No quitará sus ojos del justo; antes bien con los reyes los pondrá en solio para siempre, y serán ensalzados.
8 And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty:
8 Y si estuvieren prendidos en grillos, y aprisionados en las cuerdas de aflicción,
9 He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.
9 El les dará á conocer la obra de ellos, y que prevalecieron sus rebeliones.
10 He also shall open their ear, to correct them: and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity.
10 Despierta además el oído de ellos para la corrección, y díce[les] que se conviertan de la iniquidad.
11 If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.
11 Si oyeren, y [le] sirvieren, acabarán sus días en bien, y sus años en deleites.
12 But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.
12 Mas si no oyeren, serán pasados á cuchillo, y perecerán sin sabiduría.
13 Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.
13 Empero los hipócritas de corazón lo irritarán más, y no clamarán cuando él los atare.
14 Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.
14 Fallecerá el alma de ellos en su mocedad, y su vida entre los sodomitas.
15 He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.
15 Al pobre librará de su pobreza, y en la aflicción despertará su oído.
16 Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it: and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.
16 Asimismo te apartaría de la boca de la angustia á lugar espacioso, [libre] de todo apuro; y te asentará mesa llena de grosura.
17 Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.
17 Mas tú has llenado el juicio del impío, [en vez] de sustentar el juicio y la justicia.
18 Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man: neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.
18 Por lo cual [teme] que [en su] ira no te quite con golpe, el cual no puedas apartar de ti con gran rescate.
19 Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.
19 ¿Hará él estima de tus riquezas, ni del oro, ni de todas las fuerzas del poder?
20 Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.
20 No anheles la noche, en que desaparecen los pueblos de su lugar.
21 Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity: for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.
21 Guárdate, no tornes á la iniquidad; pues ésta escogiste más bien que la aflicción.
22 Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.
22 He aquí que Dios es excelso con su potencia: ¿qué enseñador semejante á él?
23 Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him: Thou has wrought iniquity?
23 ¿Quién le ha prescrito su camino? ¿y quién [le] dirá: Iniquidad has hecho?
24 Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.
24 Acuérdate de engrandecer su obra, la cual contemplan los hombres.
25 All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.
25 Los hombres todos la ven; mírala el hombre de lejos.
26 Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge: the number of his years is inestimable.
26 He aquí, Dios es grande, y nosotros no le conocemos; ni se puede rastrear el número de sus años.
27 He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods:
27 El reduce las gotas de las aguas, al derramarse la lluvia según el vapor;
28 Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.
28 Las cuales destilan las nubes, goteando en abundancia sobre los hombres.
29 If he will spread out clouds as his tent,
29 ¿Quién podrá tampoco comprender la extensión de las nubes, y el sonido estrepitoso de su pabellón?
30 And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.
30 He aquí que sobre él extiende su luz, y cobija [con ella] las raíces de la mar.
31 For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.
31 Bien que por esos medios castiga á los pueblos, á la multitud da comida.
32 In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.
32 Con las nubes encubre la luz, y mándale [no brillar], interponiendo [aquéllas].
33 He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.
33 Tocante á ella anunciará [el trueno], su compañero, [que hay] acumulación de ira sobre el que se eleva.

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).
Learn then thine own weakness; learn from this instance the mightiness of God: for He hath numbered the drops of rain, which have been poured down on all the earth, not only now but in all time.

He who planned all with weight and measure, He who, according to the word of Job, knows the number of the drops of rain, knew how long His work would last, and for how much consumption of fire He ought to allow.
