1 »Job, te ruego que escuches lo que voy a decir:
1 “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 Ya comencé a hablar; ahora déjame proseguir.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 Diré la verdad desnuda.
3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 Porque el espíritu de Dios me hizo: el hálito del Todopoderoso me da vida.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Si puedes responderme, no te detengas.
5 If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 Mira, yo soy el que anhelabas: el intermediario entre tú y Dios, para actuar en representación de él y de ti.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 No tienes por qué temerme. No soy persona famosa, que pueda ponerte nervioso o intimidarte. Yo también estoy hecho del barro común.
7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 »Has dicho ante mis oídos; y varias veces, por cierto:
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 “Soy puro, soy inocente; no he pecado”.
9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Dices que Dios emplea un rastrillo muy fino tratando de hallar aunque sólo sea una falta, para tenerte por enemigo suyo.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 “El mete mis pies en el cepo”, dices tú, “y vigila cada uno de mis movimientos”.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 »Pues bien, esta es mi respuesta: Precisamente has pecado al hablar así de Dios. Porque Dios es más grande que el hombre.
12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 ¿Por qué tienes que luchar contra él sólo porque no te rinde cuentas de lo que hace?
13 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 Porque Dios habla repetidamente
14 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 en sueños, en visiones nocturnas, cuando el sueño profundo cae sobre los hombres mientras yacen en sus lechos.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 En tales ocasiones Dios les abre los oídos y les da sabiduría e instrucción,
16 then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 haciéndoles cambiar de opinión, guardándolos del orgullo, y previniéndolos sobre los castigos del pecado, y evitando que caigan en algún lazo.
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 Not in this translation
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 »A veces, Dios envía la enfermedad y el dolor, aunque no rompa ningún hueso,
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 de modo que el hombre pierde el gusto y el apetito, sin que le llame la atención ni el más delicioso manjar.
20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 Se enflaquece; se vuelve huesos y pellejo,
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 y llega al borde de la muerte.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 »Pero si hay un mensajero del cielo que interceda por él como amigo, para mostrarle lo que es recto, entonces Dios se compadece de él y dice: “Pónganlo en libertad; no lo hagan morir, pues he hallado un sustituto”.
23 “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24 Not in this translation
24 then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 Entonces el cuerpo se le volverá sano como el de un niño, robusto y juvenil otra vez.
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 Y cuando ore, Dios lo escuchará; contestará su oración y lo recibirá gozoso, y lo hará volver a sus deberes.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 Y el hombre le declarará a sus amigos: “Pequé, pero Dios me dejó libre.
27 He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28 No me hizo morir. Continuaré viviendo en el mundo de la luz”.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 »Sí, Dios suele hacer esto en favor del hombre.
29 “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 Saca del hoyo su alma, para que pueda vivir bajo la luz de los vivientes.
30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 »Fíjate bien en esto, Job, escúchame y déjame decir algo más.
31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 Pero si ahora tienes algo que decir, dilo. Quiero escucharlo, pues estoy deseoso de justificarte.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 De lo contrario, escúchame. ¡Mantén silencio, y yo te enseñaré sabiduría!».
33 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

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).
Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
