Job 5 Revised Version with Apocrypha
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Call now; is there any that will answer thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
1 AHORA pues da voces, si habrá quien te responda; ¿y á cuál de los santos te volverás?
2 For vexation killeth the foolish man, and jealousy slayeth the silly one.
2 Es cierto que al necio la ira lo mata, y al codicioso consume la envidia.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
3 Yo he visto al necio que echaba raíces, y en la misma hora maldije su habitación.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
4 Sus hijos estarán lejos de la salud, y en la puerta serán quebrantados, y no habrá quien los libre.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the snare gapeth for their substance.
5 Su mies comerán los hambrientos, y sacaránla de entre las espinas, y los sedientos beberán su hacienda.
6 For affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
6 Porque la iniquidad no sale del polvo, ni la molestia brota de la tierra.
7 But man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
7 Empero como las centellas se levantan para volar por [el aire], así el hombre nace para la aflicción.
8 But as for me, I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
8 Ciertamente yo buscaría á Dios, y depositaría en él mis negocios:
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:
9 El cual hace cosas grandes é inescrutables, y maravillas que no tienen cuento:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
10 Que da la lluvia sobre la haz de la tierra, y envía las aguas por los campos:
11 So that he setteth up on high those that be low; and those which mourn are exalted to safety.
11 Que pone los humildes en altura, y los enlutados son levantados á salud:
12 He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
12 Que frustra los pensamientos de los astutos, para que sus manos no hagan nada:
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
13 Que prende á los sabios en la astucia de ellos, y el consejo de los perversos es entontecido;
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.
14 De día se topan con tinieblas, y en mitad del día andan á tientas como de noche:
15 But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
15 Y libra de la espada al pobre, de la boca de los impíos, y de la mano violenta;
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
16 Pues es esperanza al menesteroso, y la iniquidad cerrará su boca.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
17 He aquí, bienaventurado es el hombre á quien Dios castiga: por tanto no menosprecies la corrección del Todopoderoso.
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
18 Porque él es el que hace la llaga, y él [la] vendará: él hiere, y sus manos curan.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
19 En seis tribulaciones te librará, y en la séptima no te tocará el mal.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death; and in war from the power of the sword.
20 En el hambre te redimirá de la muerte, y en la guerra de las manos de la espada.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
21 Del azote de la lengua serás encubierto; ni temerás de la destrucción cuando viniere.
22 At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
22 De la destrucción y del hambre te reirás, y no temerás de las bestias del campo:
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
23 Pues aun con las piedras del campo tendrás tu concierto, y las bestias del campo te serán pacíficas.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; and thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.
24 Y sabrás que hay paz en tu tienda; y visitarás tu morada, y no pecarás.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
25 Asimismo echarás de ver que tu simiente es mucha, y tu prole como la hierba de la tierra.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in its season.
26 Y vendrás en la vejez á la sepultura, como el montón de trigo que se coge á su tiempo.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
27 He aquí lo que hemos inquirido, lo cual es así: óyelo, y juzga tú para contigo.

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).
… eye on virgins, according to the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, Behold a virgin shall conceive and bare a Son and shall call His name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us,' in order that he who taketh the wise in their own craftiness may deceive him who always glorieth in his wisdom, the maiden is given in marriage …
