Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Call nowe, if any will answere thee, and to which of the Saintes wilt thou turne?
1 AHORA pues da voces, si habrá quien te responda; ¿y á cuál de los santos te volverás?
2 Doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish, and enuie slayeth the idiote.
2 Es cierto que al necio la ira lo mata, y al codicioso consume la envidia.
3 I haue seene the foolish well rooted, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, saying,
3 Yo he visto al necio que echaba raíces, y en la misma hora maldije su habitación.
4 His children shalbe farre from saluation, and they shall be destroyed in the gate, and none shall deliuer them.
4 Sus hijos estarán lejos de la salud, y en la puerta serán quebrantados, y no habrá quien los libre.
5 The hungrie shall eate vp his haruest: yea, they shall take it from among the thornes, and the thirstie shall drinke vp their substance.
5 Su mies comerán los hambrientos, y sacaránla de entre las espinas, y los sedientos beberán su hacienda.
6 For miserie commeth not foorth of the dust, neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.
6 Porque la iniquidad no sale del polvo, ni la molestia brota de la tierra.
7 But man is borne vnto trauaile, as the sparkes flie vpwarde.
7 Empero como las centellas se levantan para volar por [el aire], así el hombre nace para la aflicción.
8 But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:
8 Ciertamente yo buscaría á Dios, y depositaría en él mis negocios:
9 Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.
9 El cual hace cosas grandes é inescrutables, y maravillas que no tienen cuento:
10 He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,
10 Que da la lluvia sobre la haz de la tierra, y envía las aguas por los campos:
11 And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.
11 Que pone los humildes en altura, y los enlutados son levantados á salud:
12 He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.
12 Que frustra los pensamientos de los astutos, para que sus manos no hagan nada:
13 He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.
13 Que prende á los sabios en la astucia de ellos, y el consejo de los perversos es entontecido;
14 They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.
14 De día se topan con tinieblas, y en mitad del día andan á tientas como de noche:
15 But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,
15 Y libra de la espada al pobre, de la boca de los impíos, y de la mano violenta;
16 So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
16 Pues es esperanza al menesteroso, y la iniquidad cerrará su boca.
17 Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.
17 He aquí, bienaventurado es el hombre á quien Dios castiga: por tanto no menosprecies la corrección del Todopoderoso.
18 For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it vp: he smiteth, and his handes make whole.
18 Porque él es el que hace la llaga, y él [la] vendará: él hiere, y sus manos curan.
19 He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, and in the seuenth the euill shall not touch thee.
19 En seis tribulaciones te librará, y en la séptima no te tocará el mal.
20 In famine he shall deliuer thee from death: and in battel from the power of the sworde.
20 En el hambre te redimirá de la muerte, y en la guerra de las manos de la espada.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth.
21 Del azote de la lengua serás encubierto; ni temerás de la destrucción cuando viniere.
22 But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.
22 De la destrucción y del hambre te reirás, y no temerás de las bestias del campo:
23 For the stones of the fielde shall be in league with thee, and the beastes of the field shall be at peace with thee.
23 Pues aun con las piedras del campo tendrás tu concierto, y las bestias del campo te serán pacíficas.
24 And thou shalt knowe, that peace shall be in thy tabernacle, and thou shalt visite thine habitation, and shalt not sinne.
24 Y sabrás que hay paz en tu tienda; y visitarás tu morada, y no pecarás.
25 Thou shalt perceiue also, that thy seede shalbe great, and thy posteritie as the grasse of the earth.
25 Asimismo echarás de ver que tu simiente es mucha, y tu prole como la hierba de la tierra.
26 Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.
26 Y vendrás en la vejez á la sepultura, como el montón de trigo que se coge á su tiempo.
27 Lo, thus haue we inquired of it, and so it is: heare this and knowe it for thy selfe.
27 He aquí lo que hemos inquirido, lo cual es así: óyelo, y juzga tú para contigo.

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).
… eye on virgins, according to the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, Behold a virgin shall conceive and bare a Son and shall call His name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us,' in order that he who taketh the wise in their own craftiness may deceive him who always glorieth in his wisdom, the maiden is given in marriage …
