YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And Job answereth and saith: —
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
2 What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
2 ¿En qué ayudaste al que no tiene fuerza? ¿has amparado al brazo sin fortaleza?
3 What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
3 ¿En qué aconsejaste al que no tiene ciencia, y mostraste bien sabiduría?
4 With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
4 ¿A quién has anunciado palabras, y cúyo es el espíritu que de ti sale?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
5 Cosas inanimadas son formadas debajo de las aguas, y los habitantes de ellas.
6 Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.
6 El sepulcro es descubierto delante de él, y el infierno no tiene cobertura.
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
7 Extiende el aquilón sobre vacío, cuelga la tierra sobre nada.
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
8 Ata las aguas en sus nubes, y las nubes no se rompen debajo de ellas.
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
9 El restriñe la faz de su trono, y sobre él extiende su nube.
10 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
10 El cercó con término la superficie de las aguas, hasta el fin de la luz y las tinieblas.
11 Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
11 Las columnas del cielo tiemblan, y se espantan de su reprensión.
12 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
12 El rompe la mar con su poder, y con su entendimiento hiere la hinchazón [suya].
13 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
13 Su espíritu adornó los cielos; su mano crió la serpiente tortuosa.
14 Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
14 He aquí, estas son partes de sus caminos: ¡mas cuán poco hemos oído de él! Porque el estruendo de sus fortalezas, ¿quién lo detendrá?

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).

    Whereof in Job it saith, And He knoweth the separations of the clouds, and hath bent down the heaven to the earth: and, He who numbereth the clouds in wisdom: and, the cloud is not rent under Him.
