Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.
1 POR tanto, Job, oye ahora mis razones, y escucha todas mis palabras.
2 Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
2 He aquí yo abriré ahora mi boca, y mi lengua hablará en mi garganta.
3 My words [shall utter ]the uprightness of my heart: and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
3 Mis razones [declararán] la rectitud de mi corazón, y mis labios proferirán pura sabiduría.
4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.
4 El espíritu de Dios me hizo, y la inspiración del Omnipotente me dió vida.
5 If thou canst, answer thou me; set [thy words ]in order before me, stand forth.
5 Si pudieres, respóndeme; dispón [tus palabras], está delante de mí.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
6 Heme aquí á mí en lugar de Dios, conforme á tu dicho: de lodo soy yo también formado.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
7 He aquí que mi terror no te espantará, ni mi mano se agravará sobre ti.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy ]words, [saying],
8 De cierto tú dijiste á oídos míos, y yo oí la voz de tus palabras [que decían]:
9 I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
9 Yo soy limpio y sin defecto; y soy inocente, y no hay maldad en mí.
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy;
10 He aquí que él buscó achaques contra mí, y me tiene por su enemigo;
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
11 Puso mis pies en el cepo, y guardó todas mis sendas.
12 Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; for God is greater than man.
12 He aquí en esto no has hablado justamente: yo te responderé que mayor es Dios que el hombre.
13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
13 ¿Por qué tomaste pleito contra él? Porque él no da cuenta de ninguna de sus razones.
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, [though man ]regardeth it not.
14 Sin embargo, en una ó en dos [maneras] habla Dios; [mas el hombre] no entiende.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
15 Por sueño de visión nocturna, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres, cuando se adormecen sobre el lecho;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
16 Entonces revela al oído de los hombres, y les señala su consejo;
17 That he may withdraw man [from his ]purpose, and hide pride from man;
17 Para quitar al hombre de [su] obra, y apartar del varón la soberbia.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
18 Detendrá su alma de corrupción, y su vida de que pase á cuchillo.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones:
19 También sobre su cama es castigado con dolor fuerte en todos sus huesos,
20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
20 Que le hace que su vida aborrezca el pan, y su alma la comida suave.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
21 Su carne desfallece sin verse, y sus huesos, que antes no se veían, aparecen.
22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
22 Y su alma se acerca al sepulcro, y su vida á los que causan la muerte.
23 If there be with him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man what is right for him;
23 Si tuviera cerca de él [algún] elocuente anunciador muy escogido, que anuncie al hombre su deber;
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
24 Que le diga que [Dios] tuvo de él misericordia, que lo libró de descender al sepulcro, que halló redención:
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; he returneth to the days of his youth:
25 Enterneceráse su carne más que de niño, volverá á los días de su mocedad.
26 He prayeth unto God, and he is favourable unto him; so that he seeth his face with joy: and he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
26 Orará á Dios, y le amará, y verá su faz con júbilo: y él restituirá al hombre su justicia.
27 He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not:
27 El mira sobre los hombres; y [el que] dijere: Pequé, y pervertí lo recto, y no me ha aprovechado;
28 He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light.
28 [Dios] redimirá su alma, que no pase al sepulcro, y su vida se verá en luz.
29 Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, [yea ]thrice, with a man,
29 He aquí, todas estas cosas hace Dios dos y tres veces con el hombre;
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
30 Para apartar su alma del sepulcro, y para iluminarlo con la luz de los vivientes.
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
31 Escucha, Job, y óyeme; calla, y yo hablaré.
32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
32 Que si tuvieres razones, respóndeme: habla, porque yo te quiero justificar.
33 If not, hearken thou unto me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33 Y si no, óyeme tú á mí; calla, y enseñarte he sabiduría.

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.
