Job 5 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Call out now; is there anyone who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
1 AHORA pues da voces, si habrá quien te responda; ¿y á cuál de los santos te volverás?
2 For anger kills the foolish man; jealousy kills the silly one.
2 Es cierto que al necio la ira lo mata, y al codicioso consume la envidia.
3 I have seen a foolish person taking root, but suddenly I cursed his home.
3 Yo he visto al necio que echaba raíces, y en la misma hora maldije su habitación.
4 His children are far from safety; they are crushed in the city gate. There is no one to rescue them.
4 Sus hijos estarán lejos de la salud, y en la puerta serán quebrantados, y no habrá quien los libre.
5 The hungry eat up their harvest; they even take it from among the thorns. The thirsty pant for their wealth.
5 Su mies comerán los hambrientos, y sacaránla de entre las espinas, y los sedientos beberán su hacienda.
6 For difficulties do not come out from the soil; neither does trouble sprout from the ground.
6 Porque la iniquidad no sale del polvo, ni la molestia brota de la tierra.
7 Instead, mankind is born for trouble, just as 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 turn to God himself; to him I would commit my cause—
8 Ciertamente yo buscaría á Dios, y depositaría en él mis negocios:
9 he who does great and unsearchable things, marvelous things without number.
9 El cual hace cosas grandes é inescrutables, y maravillas que no tienen cuento:
10 He gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields.
10 Que da la lluvia sobre la haz de la tierra, y envía las aguas por los campos:
11 He does this in order to set up on high those who are low; to raise to safety those who mourn.
11 Que pone los humildes en altura, y los enlutados son levantados á salud:
12 He breaks the plans of the crafty people, so that their hands cannot achieve success.
12 Que frustra los pensamientos de los astutos, para que sus manos no hagan nada:
13 He traps wise people in their own crafty actions; the plans of twisted people are hurried to their end.
13 Que prende á los sabios en la astucia de ellos, y el consejo de los perversos es entontecido;
14 They encounter darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as if it were night.
14 De día se topan con tinieblas, y en mitad del día andan á tientas como de noche:
15 But he saves the poor person from the sword in their mouths and the needy person from the hand of mighty people.
15 Y libra de la espada al pobre, de la boca de los impíos, y de la mano violenta;
16 So the poor person has hope, and injustice shuts her own mouth.
16 Pues es esperanza al menesteroso, y la iniquidad cerrará su boca.
17 See, blessed is the man whom God corrects; therefore, do not despise 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 wounds and then binds up; he wounds and then his hands heal.
18 Porque él es el que hace la llaga, y él [la] vendará: él hiere, y sus manos curan.
19 He will rescue you out of six troubles; indeed, in seven troubles, no evil will touch you.
19 En seis tribulaciones te librará, y en la séptima no te tocará el mal.
20 In famine he will ransom you from death, and in war from the hands of the sword.
20 En el hambre te redimirá de la muerte, y en la guerra de las manos de la espada.
21 You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
21 Del azote de la lengua serás encubierto; ni temerás de la destrucción cuando viniere.
22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, and you will not be afraid of beasts of the earth.
22 De la destrucción y del hambre te reirás, y no temerás de las bestias del campo:
23 For you will have a covenant with the stones in your field, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
23 Pues aun con las piedras del campo tendrás tu concierto, y las bestias del campo te serán pacíficas.
24 You will know that your tent is in safety; you will visit your sheepfold and you will not miss anything.
24 Y sabrás que hay paz en tu tienda; y visitarás tu morada, y no pecarás.
25 You will also know that your seed will be great, that your offspring will be like the grass on the ground.
25 Asimismo echarás de ver que tu simiente es mucha, y tu prole como la hierba de la tierra.
26 You will come to your grave at a full age, like a stack of grain bundles that goes up at its time.
26 Y vendrás en la vejez á la sepultura, como el montón de trigo que se coge á su tiempo.
27 See, we have examined this matter; it is like this; listen to it, and know it for yourself.”
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 …
