WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Mi pueblo peca como por encargo, como si sus maldades fueran leyes esculpidas con cincel de hierro o punta de diamante sobre su empedernido corazón o en las esquinas de sus altares.
1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars.
2 Sus jóvenes son especialistas en cometer maldades, rinden homenaje a ídolos debajo de cada árbol, en lo alto de los montes o en las llanuras de abajo. Por eso entregaré yo todas sus propiedades valiosas a sus enemigos como precio que deben pagar por sus actos malvados.
2 Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles by the green trees on the high hills.
3 Not in this translation
3 My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a plunder, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
4 Y la magnífica herencia que les tenía reservada se les escapará de las manos, y los enviaré a servir como esclavos a sus enemigos en tierras lejanas. Porque han provocado mi gran cólera la cual será muy difícil de aplacar.
4 You, even of yourself, will discontinue from your heritage that I gave you. I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know, for you have kindled a fire in my anger which will burn forever.”
5 El Señor dice: Maldita la persona que ponga su confianza en cualquier mortal y aleja del Señor su corazón.
5 Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
6 Es como si fuera sólo un raquítico arbusto del desierto, sin esperanza para el futuro, sólo a duras penas sobreviviendo en la planicie salitrosa de un inhóspito desierto; la prosperidad lo abandonó para siempre.
6 For he will be like a bush in the desert, and will not see when good comes, but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, an uninhabited salt land.
7 Pero está destinada a prosperar la persona que confía en el Señor y en el Señor ha puesto su esperanza y fe.
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.
8 Esta persona es semejante a un árbol plantado a orillas de un río, cuyas raíces penetran hasta encontrar el agua; este es un árbol al que no agobia el calor ni angustian los largos meses de sequía. Su follaje se mantiene siempre verde y produce con regularidad jugosos frutos.
8 For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.
9 Nada hay tan engañoso ni tan absolutamente perverso como el corazón. Nadie es capaz de conocer a fondo su maldad.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
10 Sólo el Señor lo conoce, porque el examina con cuidado todos los corazones y examina los más ocultos móviles de las personas para poder dar a cada cual su recompensa según sus hechos, según como haya vivido.
10 “I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”
11 Como ave que llena su nido de polluelos que ella no empolló y que pronto la abandonarán y se irán volando, así es la persona que obtiene su riqueza por medios injustos. Tarde o temprano perderá sus bienes y al final de sus días será sólo una persona miserable.
11 As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.
12 ¡Pero nuestro refugio, oh Señor, eres tú, en quien siempre podemos encontrar protección!
12 A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 ¡Oh Señor, esperanza de Israel, todos cuantos de ti se apartan serán deshonrados y avergonzados! Su futuro es muy mediocre, sólo cosas terrenales, porque han abandonado al Señor, quien es como una fuente de aguas dadoras de vida.
13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be disappointed. Those who depart from me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
14 ¡Señor, sólo tú puedes sanarme, sólo tú puedes salvarme de todos los peligros, por eso toda la gratitud de mi corazón es sólo para ti!
14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise.
15 Toda la gente se burla de mí diciendo: «¿Qué es esa palabra del Señor de la que hablas sin parar? Si tus amenazas proceden realmente de Dios, ¿por qué no se cumplen?».
15 Behold, they ask me, “Where is Yahweh’s word? Let it be fulfilled now.”
16 Señor, no quiero que alguna terrible calamidad caiga sobre tu pueblo. Tuyo y no mío es el plan, tuyo y no mío es el mensaje que les doy. ¡No soy yo quien quiere su condena!
16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you. I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know. That which came out of my lips was before your face.
17 ¡Señor, no me abandones! ¡Siempre te he dicho sinceramente lo que siento!
17 Don’t be a terror to me. You are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Acarréales confusión y congojas a cuantos me persiguen, y a mí dame paz. ¡Sí, doble destrucción para ellos!
18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but don’t let me be disappointed. Let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Entonces el Señor me dijo: Ve y ponte de pie ante las puertas de la ciudad de Jerusalén, primero ante la puerta por donde entra y sale el rey, y luego ante cada una de las otras,
19 Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 y dile al pueblo: ¡Escuchen el mensaje del Señor, reyes de Judá y todos los habitantes de este país, y ustedes, vecinos de Jerusalén!
20 Tell them, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, you kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 El Señor dice: Sigan la instrucción del Señor para que vivan; no hagan trabajo innecesario el sábado, sino respétenlo como día apartado. Este mandamiento di a sus antepasados,
21 Yahweh says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 Not in this translation
22 Don’t carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day. Don’t do any work, but make the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
23 pero ellos no escucharon ni obedecieron. Tercamente se negaron a recibir mi instrucción y seguirla.
23 But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24 Pero si ustedes obedecen mi instrucción, dice el Señor, y se abstienen de trabajar el día sábado y lo guardan como día especial y apartado,
24 It will happen, if you diligently listen to me,” says Yahweh, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
25 esta nación nunca será destruida. Los descendientes de David serán nombrados reyes aquí en Jerusalén; nunca faltarán los reyes y príncipes que cabalguen con pompa y esplendor como señal de fuerza entre el pueblo y esta ciudad nunca será destruida.
25 then there will enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on David’s throne, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will remain forever.
26 Y de todas las regiones de Jerusalén, y de las ciudades de Judá y de Benjamín, y más al sur, y de las tierras bajas que se localizan al oeste de Judá, acudirá el pueblo con sus ofrendas quemadas y sus ofrendas de grano y perfumes agradables, trayendo sus sacrificios para rendir homenaje al Señor en su templo.
26 They will come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to Yahweh’s house.
27 Pero si no me escuchan, y se niegan a dedicar para mí el sábado, y en sábado meten cargamentos de mercancía por estas puertas de Jerusalén como si fuera un día común, entonces incendiaré las puertas. El fuego se extenderá a los palacios y los destruirá, sin que nadie pueda apagar un incendio tan destructivo.
27 But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem. It will not be quenched.”’”

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).
… Christ above, who extended himself through Horos, and imparted a form to their mother; or is it He who is from the Virgin, Emmanuel, who did eat butter and honey, of whom the prophet declared, "He is also a man, and who shall know him?" He was likewise preached by Paul: "For I delivered," he says, "unto you first of …
… called his name Enos, which means man," and "He hoped to call on the name of the Lord God," are sufficient proof that man ought not to rest his hopes in himself; as it is elsewhere written, "Cursed is the man that trusteth in man." Consequently no one ought to trust in himself that he shall become a citizen of …

… to know men's secrets, hear what saith the prophet, "Thou most entirely alone knowest the hearts;" and again, "God trieth the hearts and reins; " and Jeremiah too saith, "The heart is deep above all things, and it is man, and who shall know him?" and, "Man shall look on the face, but God on the heart." And by many …

… lying images, wherein there is no profit." But that the Jews, by whom He behoved even to be slain, were not going to acknowledge Him, this prophet thus intimates: "Heavy is the heart through all; and He is a man, and who shall know Him?" That passage also is his which I have quoted in the seventeenth book concerning the …

For inasmuch as they continually disbelieved the prophets, and used to say, "Where is the day of the Lord:" and "let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know it," by reason that it was many years before what they said came to pass; to lead them off from this encouragement also, he sets the …
