1 El Señor prosiguió:
1 Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
2 «¿Aún quieres disputar con el Todopoderoso? ¿O prefieres darte por vencido? Tú que censuras a Dios, ¿tienes las respuestas?».
2 “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3 Entonces Job respondió a Dios:
3 Then Job answered Yahweh,
4 «No soy nada. ¿Cómo podría jamás hallar las respuestas? Me tapo la boca con la mano y guardo silencio.
4 “Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5 Ya he hablado demasiado».
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6 El Señor le volvió a hablar a Job desde el torbellino:
6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:
7 «¡Plántate como hombre y prepárate para la lucha! Deja que te pregunte y respóndeme.
7 “Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8 ¿Vas a difamar mi justicia y a condenarme para poder decir que eres justo?
8 Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9 ¿Tienes fuerza como la de Dios y voz tan poderosa como la suya?
9 Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Pues ponte tus vestiduras de ceremonia; cúbrete de majestad y esplendor.
10 “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
11 Da rienda suelta a tu ira: que se desborde contra los orgullosos.
11 Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12 Humilla al altivo con una mirada; aplasta a los malvados con tu pie.
12 Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13 Lánzalos al polvo, con rigidez de muerte en sus rostros.
13 Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 Si puedes hacer eso, convendré contigo en que tu propia fortaleza puede salvarte.
14 Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 »¡Mira al hipopótamo! También es hechura mía, como lo eres tú. Come hierba como el buey.
15 “See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16 Mira sus formidables lomos y los músculos de su vientre.
16 Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17 Tiene la cola tan derecha como un cedro. Tiene los tendones de los muslos firmemente unidos.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 Sus vértebras van derechas como un tubo de bronce. Tiene las costillas como barras de hierro.
18 His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19 Es de lo más feroz en toda la creación de Dios; quien quiera dominarlo, traiga espada aguda.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20 Los montes le brindan su mejor alimento: los demás animales que le sirven de comida.
20 Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21 Se echa bajo las plantas de loto ocultándose en sus tallos,
21 He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22 escondido a la sombra de los sauces junto a las aguas.
22 The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23 No lo asustan los ríos torrentosos, ni cuando el crecido Jordán se lanza contra él.
23 Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24 Nadie puede tomarle desprevenido ni ponerle anillos en la trompa para llevárselo cautivo.
24 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

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).
According to Job, there was in the waters the dragon that draweth up Jordan into his mouth.
