1 Job replied,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
1 Then Job answered,
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
2 ¿En qué ayudaste al que no tiene fuerza? ¿has amparado al brazo sin fortaleza?
2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
3 ¿En qué aconsejaste al que no tiene ciencia, y mostraste bien sabiduría?
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
4 ¿A quién has anunciado palabras, y cúyo es el espíritu que de ti sale?
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
5 Cosas inanimadas son formadas debajo de las aguas, y los habitantes de ellas.
5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered.
6 El sepulcro es descubierto delante de él, y el infierno no tiene cobertura.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
7 Extiende el aquilón sobre vacío, cuelga la tierra sobre nada.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
8 Ata las aguas en sus nubes, y las nubes no se rompen debajo de ellas.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
9 El restriñe la faz de su trono, y sobre él extiende su nube.
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
10 El cercó con término la superficie de las aguas, hasta el fin de la luz y las tinieblas.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
11 Las columnas del cielo tiemblan, y se espantan de su reprensión.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do, he crushed Rahab.
12 El rompe la mar con su poder, y con su entendimiento hiere la hinchazón [suya].
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
13 Su espíritu adornó los cielos; su mano crió la serpiente tortuosa.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
14 He aquí, estas son partes de sus caminos: ¡mas cuán poco hemos oído de él! Porque el estruendo de sus fortalezas, ¿quién lo detendrá?
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

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).

    Whereof in Job it saith, And He knoweth the separations of the clouds, and hath bent down the heaven to the earth: and, He who numbereth the clouds in wisdom: and, the cloud is not rent under Him.
