1 Elihú continuó hablando.
1 Elihu also continued, and said,
2 “Ténganme un poco más de paciencia y déjenme explicarles. Todavía tengo algo que decir en nombre de Dios.
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
3 Compartiré mis amplios conocimientos, y demostraré que mi Creador tiene razón.
3 I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 Les aseguro que lo que digo no son mentiras, pues soy un hombre cuyos conocimientos son de primer orden.
4 For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 Dios es poderoso, pero no desprecia a nadie; es poderoso en fuerza y comprensión.
5 “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 No mantiene vivo al impío, sino que hace justicia al oprimido.
6 He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 Siempre presta atención a los que hacen el bien, y los coloca en tronos con los reyes, honrándolos eternamente.
7 He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
8 Si están encadenados, atados con cuerdas de sufrimiento,
8 If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
9 entonces les explica lo que han hecho: sus pecados arrogantes.
9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
10 Les hace prestar atención y les ordena que dejen de pecar.
10 He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 “Si escuchan y hacen lo que Dios dice, vivirán su vida con felicidad.
11 If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 Pero si no escuchan, tendrán una muerte violenta, ignorantes de Dios.
12 But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
13 Los que rechazan a Dios se aferran a su amargura. Incluso cuando él los disciplina, no claman a él por ayuda.
13 “But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
14 Mueren en su juventud; su vida termina entre los hombres que se prostituyen en el templo.
14 They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
15 A través del sufrimiento, Dios salva a los que sufren; consigue su atención a través de sus problemas.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
16 “Dios está tratando de rescatarte de las fauces de los problemas a un lugar de libertad y seguridad, llenando tu mesa con los mejores alimentos.
16 Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
17 Pero tú te preocupas por la suerte de los malvados; el juicio y la justicia llenan tu mente.
17 “But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Pero ten cuidado de que tu cólera no te seduzca en la burla; y no dejes que el tamaño del ‘soborno’ te conduzcan al pecado.
18 Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
19 ¿Tu grito de auxilio te sostendrá cuando vengan los problemas?
19 Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
20 No anheles la noche en la que las personas son arrebatadas repentinamente.
20 Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21 ¡Cuida que no te vuelvas al mal! Porque es por esto que estás siendo probado a través del sufrimiento.
21 Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
22 “¡Mira qué poder tiene Dios! ¿Qué maestro es como él?
22 Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23 ¿Quién le ha enseñado lo que debe hacer? ¿Quién puede decirle: ‘Has hecho mal’?
23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
24 Al contrario, alábenle por lo que ha hecho, como dicen los cantos.
24 “Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
25 Todo el mundo ha visto la creación de Dios, aunque sólo desde la distancia.
25 All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
26 “Mira qué grande es Dios, más de lo que podemos entender. Nadie puede contar sus años.
26 Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
27 Él extrae el agua y la destila en rocío y lluvia.
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
28 Las nubes derraman lluvia, cayendo abundantemente sobre la humanidad.
28 which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
29 ¿Alguien puede entender cómo se extienden las nubes, o cómo ruge el trueno desde donde vive?
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
30 Mira cómo esparce los rayos a su alrededor, y cubre de oscuridad las profundidades del mar.
30 Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
31 Con estas acciones gobierna a los pueblos, les proporciona abundante alimento.
31 For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
32 Tiene el rayo en sus manos y ordena dónde debe caer.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
33 El trueno anuncia su presencia: hasta el ganado sabe cuándo se avecina una tormenta”.
33 Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.

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).
Learn then thine own weakness; learn from this instance the mightiness of God: for He hath numbered the drops of rain, which have been poured down on all the earth, not only now but in all time.

He who planned all with weight and measure, He who, according to the word of Job, knows the number of the drops of rain, knew how long His work would last, and for how much consumption of fire He ought to allow.
