WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Moreover, Elihu continued to speak:

1 ADEMÁS respondió Eliú, y dijo:

1 Moreover Elihu answered,

2 “Listen to my words, you wise men; hear me, you who have knowledge.

2 Oid, sabios, mis palabras; y vosotros, doctos, estadme atentos.

2 “Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.

3 For the ear tries words as the palate tastes food.

3 Porque el oído prueba las palabras, como el paladar gusta para comer.

3 For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.

4 Let us choose for ourselves what is just: let us discover among ourselves what is good.

4 Escojamos para nosotros el juicio, conozcamos entre nosotros cuál [sea] lo bueno:

4 Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.

5 For Job has said, 'I am righteous, but God has taken away my rights.

5 Porque Job ha dicho: Yo soy justo, y Dios me ha quitado mi derecho.

5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.

6 Regardless of my rights, I am considered to be a liar. My wound is incurable, although I am without sin.'

6 ¿He de mentir yo contra mi razón? Mi saeta es gravosa sin [haber yo] prevaricado.

6 Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’

7 What man is like Job, who drinks up mockery like water,

7 ¿Qué hombre hay como Job, que bebe el escarnio como agua?

7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,

8 who goes around in the company of those who do evil, and who walks with wicked men?

8 Y va en compañía con los que obran iniquidad, y anda con los hombres maliciosos.

8 who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?

9 For he has said, 'It is no use to a person to take pleasure in doing what God wants.'

9 Porque ha dicho: De nada servirá al hombre el conformar su voluntad con Dios.

9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’

10 So listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness; far be it from the Almighty that he should commit sin.

10 Por tanto, varones de seso, oidme: Lejos esté de Dios la impiedad, y del Omnipotente la iniquidad.

10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

11 For he pays back a person's work; he makes every man come upon the reward of his own ways.

11 Porque él pagará al hombre según su obra, y él le hará hallar conforme á su camino.

11 For the work of a man he will give to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

12 Indeed, God does nothing wicked, nor does the Almighty ever pervert justice.

12 Sí, por cierto, Dios no hará injusticia, y el Omnipotente no pervertirá el derecho.

12 Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

13 Who put him in charge over the earth? Who put the whole world under him?

13 ¿Quién visitó por él la tierra? ¿y quién puso en orden todo el mundo?

13 Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?

14 If he ever set his intentions only on himself, and if he ever gathered back to himself his spirit and his breath,

14 Si él pusiese sobre el [hombre] su corazón, y recogiese así su espíritu y su aliento,

14 If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,

15 then all flesh would perish together; mankind would return to dust again.

15 Toda carne perecería juntamente, y el hombre se tornaría en polvo.

15 all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.

16 If now you have understanding, listen to this; listen to the sound of my words.

16 Si pues [hay en ti] entendimiento, oye esto: escucha la voz de mis palabras.

16 “If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.

17 Can one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn God, who is righteous and mighty?

17 ¿Enseñorearáse el que aborrece juicio? ¿y condenarás tú al que es tan justo?

17 Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,

18 God, who says to a king, 'You are vile,' or says to nobles, 'You are wicked'?

18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?

18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?

19 God, who does not show favoritism to leaders and does not acknowledge rich people more than poor, for they all are the work of his hands.

19 ¿[Cuánto menos á] aquel que no hace acepción de personas de príncipes, ni el rico es de él más respetado que el pobre? porque todos son obras de sus manos.

19 He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.

20 In a moment they will die; at midnight people will be shaken and will pass away; mighty people will be taken away, but not by human hands.

20 En un momento morirán, y á media noche se alborotarán los pueblos, y pasarán, y sin mano será quitado el poderoso.

20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.

21 For God's eyes are upon a person's ways; he sees all his steps.

21 Porque sus ojos están sobre los caminos del hombre, y ve todos sus pasos.

21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.

22 There is no darkness, no thick gloom where the doers of iniquity may hide themselves.

22 No hay tinieblas ni sombra de muerte donde se encubran los que obran maldad.

22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 For God does not need to examine a person further; there is no need for any person to go before him in judgment.

23 No carga pues él al hombre más [de lo justo], para que vaya con Dios á juicio.

23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.

24 He breaks mighty men into pieces for their ways that need no further investigation; he puts others in their places.

24 El quebrantará á los fuertes sin pesquisa, y hará estar otros en su lugar.

24 He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.

25 In this way he has knowledge of their deeds; he overthrows these people in the night; they are destroyed.

25 Por tanto él hará notorias las obras de ellos, cuando los trastornará en la noche, y serán quebrantados.

25 Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

26 In the open sight of others, he kills them for their wicked deeds like criminals

26 Como á malos los herirá en lugar donde sean vistos:

26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

27 because they turned away from following him and refused to acknowledge any of his ways.

27 Por cuanto así se apartaron de él, y no consideraron todos sus caminos;

27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,

28 In this way, they made the cry of poor people come to him; he heard the cry of afflicted people.

28 Haciendo venir delante de él el clamor del pobre, y que oiga el clamor de los necesitados.

28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.

29 When he stays silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can perceive him? He rules over nation and individual alike,

29 Y si él diere reposo, ¿quién inquietará? si escondiere el rostro, ¿quién lo mirará? [Esto] sobre una nación, y lo mismo sobre un hombre;

29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,

30 so that a godless man may not rule, so that there may be no one to entrap people.

30 Haciendo que no reine el hombre hipócrita para vejaciones del pueblo.

30 that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.

31 Suppose someone says to God, 'I am certainly guilty, but I will not sin any longer;

31 De seguro conviene se diga á Dios: Llevado he ya [castigo], no [más] ofenderé:

31 “For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.

32 teach me what I cannot see; I have committed sin, but I will do it no longer.'

32 Enséñame tú lo que yo no veo: que si hice mal, no lo haré más.

32 Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

33 Do you think that God will punish that person's sin, since you dislike what God does? You must choose, not I. So say what it is that you know.

33 ¿[Ha de ser eso] según tu mente? El te retribuirá, ora rehuses, ora aceptes, y no yo: di si no, lo que tú sabes.

33 Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.

34 Men of understanding will say to me— indeed, every wise man who hears me will say,

34 Los hombres de seso dirán conmigo, y el hombre sabio me oirá:

34 Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:

35 'Job speaks without knowledge; his words are without wisdom.'

35 Que Job no habla con sabiduría, y que sus palabras no son con entendimiento.

35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’

36 If only Job were put on trial in the smallest details of his case because of his talking like wicked men.

36 Deseo yo que Job sea probado ampliamente, á causa de sus respuestas por los hombres inicuos.

36 I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

37 For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands in mockery in our midst; he piles up words against God.”

37 Porque á su pecado añadió impiedad: bate las manos entre nosotros, y contra Dios multiplica sus palabras.

37 For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”

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).

Quotes verse 34:30 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book V, Chapters 19–20)
in another place it is most unambiguously said of God, that He "maketh the man who is an hypocrite to reign on account of the perver sity of the people."
