Job 33 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 So now, Job, I beg you, hear my speech; listen to all my words.
1 POR tanto, Job, oye ahora mis razones, y escucha todas mis palabras.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth; my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
2 He aquí yo abriré ahora mi boca, y mi lengua hablará en mi garganta.
3 My words come from the uprightness of my heart; my lips speak pure knowledge.
3 Mis razones [declararán] la rectitud de mi corazón, y mis labios proferirán pura sabiduría.
4 The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
4 El espíritu de Dios me hizo, y la inspiración del Omnipotente me dió vida.
5 If you can, answer me; set your words in order before me and stand up.
5 Si pudieres, respóndeme; dispón [tus palabras], está delante de mí.
6 See, I am just as you are in God's sight; I also have been 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 See, terror of me will not make you afraid; neither will my pressure be heavy upon you.
7 He aquí que mi terror no te espantará, ni mi mano se agravará sobre ti.
8 You have certainly spoken in my hearing; I have heard the sound of your words saying,
8 De cierto tú dijiste á oídos míos, y yo oí la voz de tus palabras [que decían]:
9 'I am clean and without transgression; I am innocent, and there is no sin in me.
9 Yo soy limpio y sin defecto; y soy inocente, y no hay maldad en mí.
10 See, God finds opportunities to attack me; he regards me as his enemy.
10 He aquí que él buscó achaques contra mí, y me tiene por su enemigo;
11 He puts my feet in stocks; he watches all my paths.'
11 Puso mis pies en el cepo, y guardó todas mis sendas.
12 See, in this you are not right—I will answer you, 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 do you struggle against him? He does not account for any of his doings.
13 ¿Por qué tomaste pleito contra él? Porque él no da cuenta de ninguna de sus razones.
14 For God speaks once— yes, twice, though man does not notice it.
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 falls upon men, in slumber on the bed—
15 Por sueño de visión nocturna, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres, cuando se adormecen sobre el lecho;
16 then God opens the ears of men, and frightens them with threats,
16 Entonces revela al oído de los hombres, y les señala su consejo;
17 in order to pull man back from his sinful purposes, and keep pride from him.
17 Para quitar al hombre de [su] obra, y apartar del varón la soberbia.
18 God keeps man's life back from the pit, his life from crossing over to death.
18 Detendrá su alma de corrupción, y su vida de que pase á cuchillo.
19 Man is punished also with pain on his bed, with constant agony in his bones,
19 También sobre su cama es castigado con dolor fuerte en todos sus huesos,
20 so that his life abhors food, and his soul abhors delicacies.
20 Que le hace que su vida aborrezca el pan, y su alma la comida suave.
21 His flesh is consumed away so that it cannot be seen; his bones, once not seen, now stick out.
21 Su carne desfallece sin verse, y sus huesos, que antes no se veían, aparecen.
22 Indeed, his soul draws close to the pit, his life to those who wish to destroy it.
22 Y su alma se acerca al sepulcro, y su vida á los que causan la muerte.
23 But if there is an angel who can be a mediator for him, a mediator, one from among the thousands of angels, to show him what is right to do,
23 Si tuviera cerca de él [algún] elocuente anunciador muy escogido, que anuncie al hombre su deber;
24 and if the angel is kind to him and says to God, 'Save this person from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him,'
24 Que le diga que [Dios] tuvo de él misericordia, que lo libró de descender al sepulcro, que halló redención:
25 then his flesh will become fresher than a child's; he will return to the days of his youthful strength.
25 Enterneceráse su carne más que de niño, volverá á los días de su mocedad.
26 He will pray to God, and God will be kind to him, so that he sees God's face with joy. God will give the person his triumph.
26 Orará á Dios, y le amará, y verá su faz con júbilo: y él restituirá al hombre su justicia.
27 Then that person will sing in front of other people and say, 'I sinned and perverted that which was right, but my sin was not punished.
27 El mira sobre los hombres; y [el que] dijere: Pequé, y pervertí lo recto, y no me ha aprovechado;
28 God has rescued my soul from going down into the pit; my life will continue to see light.'
28 [Dios] redimirá su alma, que no pase al sepulcro, y su vida se verá en luz.
29 See, God does all these things with a person, twice, yes, even three times,
29 He aquí, todas estas cosas hace Dios dos y tres veces con el hombre;
30 to bring his soul back from the pit, so that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
30 Para apartar su alma del sepulcro, y para iluminarlo con la luz de los vivientes.
31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent and I will speak.
31 Escucha, Job, y óyeme; calla, y yo hablaré.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me; speak, for I wish to prove that you are in the right.
32 Que si tuvieres razones, respóndeme: habla, porque yo te quiero justificar.
33 If not, then listen to me; remain silent, and I will teach you 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.
