1 Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,
1 ADEMÁS respondió Eliú, y dijo:
2 Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.
2 Oid, sabios, mis palabras; y vosotros, doctos, estadme atentos.
3 For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.
3 Porque el oído prueba las palabras, como el paladar gusta para comer.
4 Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.
4 Escojamos para nosotros el juicio, conozcamos entre nosotros cuál [sea] lo bueno:
5 For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.
5 Porque Job ha dicho: Yo soy justo, y Dios me ha quitado mi derecho.
6 Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.
6 ¿He de mentir yo contra mi razón? Mi saeta es gravosa sin [haber yo] prevaricado.
7 What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?
7 ¿Qué hombre hay como Job, que bebe el escarnio como agua?
8 Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?
8 Y va en compañía con los que obran iniquidad, y anda con los hombres maliciosos.
9 For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.
9 Porque ha dicho: De nada servirá al hombre el conformar su voluntad con Dios.
10 Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.
10 Por tanto, varones de seso, oidme: Lejos esté de Dios la impiedad, y del Omnipotente la iniquidad.
11 For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.
11 Porque él pagará al hombre según su obra, y él le hará hallar conforme á su camino.
12 And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.
12 Sí, por cierto, Dios no hará injusticia, y el Omnipotente no pervertirá el derecho.
13 Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?
13 ¿Quién visitó por él la tierra? ¿y quién puso en orden todo el mundo?
14 If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,
14 Si él pusiese sobre el [hombre] su corazón, y recogiese así su espíritu y su aliento,
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust.
15 Toda carne perecería juntamente, y el hombre se tornaría en polvo.
16 And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes.
16 Si pues [hay en ti] entendimiento, oye esto: escucha la voz de mis palabras.
17 Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? and wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust?
17 ¿Enseñorearáse el que aborrece juicio? ¿y condenarás tú al que es tan justo?
18 Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly?
18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?
19 How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, and regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes.
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 shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without 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 vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.
21 Porque sus ojos están sobre los caminos del hombre, y ve todos sus pasos.
22 There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein.
22 No hay tinieblas ni sombra de muerte donde se encubran los que obran maldad.
23 For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God.
23 No carga pues él al hombre más [de lo justo], para que vaya con Dios á juicio.
24 He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead.
24 El quebrantará á los fuertes sin pesquisa, y hará estar otros en su lugar.
25 Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.
25 Por tanto él hará notorias las obras de ellos, cuando los trastornará en la noche, y serán quebrantados.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers,
26 Como á malos los herirá en lugar donde sean vistos:
27 Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:
27 Por cuanto así se apartaron de él, y no consideraron todos sus caminos;
28 So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted.
28 Haciendo venir delante de él el clamor del pobre, y que oiga el clamor de los necesitados.
29 And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely?
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 Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared.
30 Haciendo que no reine el hombre hipócrita para vejaciones del pueblo.
31 Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy.
31 De seguro conviene se diga á Dios: Llevado he ya [castigo], no [más] ofenderé:
32 But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe no more.
32 Enséñame tú lo que yo no veo: que si hice mal, no lo haré más.
33 Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, and not I. now speake what thou knowest.
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 vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me.
34 Los hombres de seso dirán conmigo, y el hombre sabio me oirá:
35 Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.
35 Que Job no habla con sabiduría, y que sus palabras no son con entendimiento.
36 I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.
36 Deseo yo que Job sea probado ampliamente, á causa de sus respuestas por los hombres inicuos.
37 For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.
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).
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 …
