WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Entonces Job respondió a Dios:
1 Then Job answered Yahweh:
2 «Sé que todo lo puedes y que nadie es capaz de detenerte.
2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 Preguntas quién ha sido tan necio para negar tu providencia. Soy yo. Hablaba de lo que ignoraba en absoluto; de lo que no comprendía; de cosas demasiado admirables para mí.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
4 »Tú dijiste: “Escucha, y yo hablaré. Déjame plantearte las preguntas. ¡A ver si eres capaz de responder!”.
4 You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5 »Pero ahora yo digo. Había oído hablar de ti, pero ahora te he visto,
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6 y me detesto, y me arrepiento en polvo y cenizas».
6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Luego que el Señor terminó de hablar con Job, dijo a Elifaz de Temán: «Estoy airado contra ti y tus dos amigos, pues no tenían razón en lo que dijeron respecto a mí, como sí la tuvo Job.
7 It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8 Ahora tomen siete becerros y siete carneros; vayan a mi siervo Job y presenten una ofrenda quemada en expiación por ustedes; y mi siervo Job orará por ustedes, y yo aceptaré su oración en favor suyo, y no los destruiré como debería hacerlo por su pecado, porque no han hablado rectamente respecto a mi siervo Job».
8 Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
9 De modo que Elifaz de Temán, Bildad de Súah y Zofar de Namat hicieron como el Señor los mandó, y el Señor, aceptó la oración de Job en favor de ellos.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
10 Luego, cuando Job oró por sus amigos, el Señor le restituyó sus riquezas y felicidad. ¡En verdad, el Señor le dio el doble de lo que antes tenía!
10 Yahweh restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Todos sus hermanos, hermanas y antiguos amigos llegaron y festejaron con él en su hogar, consolándolo en todos sus padecimientos, y alentándolo por las pruebas que el Señor le había mandado. Y cada uno de ellos le llevó un obsequio de una pieza de plata y un anillo de oro.
11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
12 Así el Señor bendijo a Job al final de su vida, más que al comienzo. Pues ahora tenía catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil burras.
12 So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13 Dios también le dio otros siete hijos y tres hijas. Estos son los nombres de sus hijas: Paloma, Canela y Linda.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 Not in this translation
14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
15 Y en toda la tierra no hubo jóvenes tan bonitas como las hijas de Job; y su padre las incluyó en su testamento junto con sus hermanos.
15 In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 Job vivió ciento cuarenta años después de esto, y llegó a ver a sus nietos, y también a sus bisnietos.
16 After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
17 Al fin murió, muy anciano, tras larga y próspera vida.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 42:5 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XXII, Chapters 28–29)

    … of the holy Job while yet in this mortal body, when he says to God, "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee: wherefore I abhor myself, and melt away, and count myself dust and ashes;" although there is no reason why we should not understand this of the eye of …

  2. Quotes verse 42:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXIII)

    … hearing such things, I being nothing?" And again, "I have heard of Thee before, as far as hearing of the ear; but now mine eye hath seen Thee; wherefore I have made myself vile, and have melted away; and I accounted myself earth and ashes." This fortitude then, this moderation, of him that was before law and grace, let us …
