1 And Job answereth and saith: —
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
2 Truly I have known that [it is] so, And what — is man righteous with God?
2 Ciertamente yo conozco que es así: ¿y cómo se justificará el hombre con Dios?
3 If he delight to strive with Him — He doth not answer him one of a thousand.
3 Si quisiere contender con él, no le podrá responder á una [cosa] de mil.
4 Wise in heart and strong in power — Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace?
4 El es sabio de corazón, y poderoso en fortaleza: ¿quién se endureció contra él, y quedó en paz?
5 Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who hath overturned them in His anger.
5 Que arranca los montes con su furor, y no conocen quién los trastornó:
6 Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves.
6 Que remueve la tierra de su lugar, y hace temblar sus columnas:
7 Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars He sealeth up.
7 Que manda al sol, y no sale; y sella las estrellas:
8 Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,
8 El que extiende solo los cielos, y anda sobre las alturas de la mar:
9 Making Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, And the inner chambers of the south.
9 El que hizo el Arcturo, y el Orión, y las Pléyadas, y los lugares secretos del mediodía:
10 Doing great things till there is no searching, And wonderful, till there is no numbering.
10 El que hace cosas grandes é incomprensibles, y maravillosas, sin número.
11 Lo, He goeth over by me, and I see not, And He passeth on, and I attend not to it.
11 He aquí que él pasará delante de mí, y yo no lo veré; y pasará, y no lo entenderé.
12 Lo, He snatches away, who bringeth it back? Who saith unto Him, 'What dost Thou?'
12 He aquí, arrebatará; ¿quién le hará restituir? ¿Quién le dirá, Qué haces?
13 God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.
13 Dios no tornará atrás su ira, y debajo de él se encorvan los que ayudan á los soberbios.
14 How much less do I — I answer Him? Choose out my words with Him?
14 ¿Cuánto menos le responderé yo, y hablaré con él palabras estudiadas?
15 Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my judgment I make supplication.
15 Que aunque fuese yo justo, no responderé; antes habré de rogar á mi juez.
16 Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear [to] my voice.
16 Que si yo le invocase, y él me respondiese, aun no creeré que haya escuchado mi voz.
17 Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied my wounds for nought.
17 Porque me ha quebrado con tempestad, y ha aumentado mis heridas sin causa.
18 He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me with bitter things.
18 No me ha concedido que tome mi aliento; mas hame hartado de amarguras.
19 If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment — who doth convene me?
19 Si [habláremos] de [su] potencia, fuerte por cierto es; si de juicio, ¿quién me emplazará?
20 If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! — it declareth me perverse.
20 Si yo me justificare, me condenará mi boca; si [me dijere] perfecto, esto me hará inicuo.
21 Perfect I am! — I know not my soul, I despise my life.
21 [Bien que] yo [fuese] íntegro, no conozco mi alma: reprocharé mi vida.
22 It is the same thing, therefore I said, 'The perfect and the wicked He is consuming.'
22 Una cosa resta que yo diga: Al perfecto y al impío él los consume.
23 If a scourge doth put to death suddenly, At the trial of the innocent He laugheth.
23 Si azote mata de presto, ríese de la prueba de los inocentes.
24 Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not — where, who [is] he?
24 La tierra es entregada en manos de los impíos, y él cubre el rostro de sus jueces. Si no [es él], ¿quién [es]? ¿dónde está?
25 My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good,
25 Mis días han sido más ligeros que un correo; huyeron, y no vieron el bien.
26 They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darteth on food.
26 Pasaron cual navíos veloces: como el águila que se arroja á la comida.
27 Though I say, 'I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!'
27 Si digo: Olvidaré mi queja, dejaré mi aburrimiento, y esforzaréme:
28 I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou dost not acquit me.
28 Contúrbanme todos mis trabajos; sé que no me darás por libre.
29 I — I am become wicked; why [is] this? [In] vain I labour.
29 Yo soy impío, ¿para qué trabajaré en vano?
30 If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified with soap my hands,
30 Aunque me lave con aguas de nieve, y limpie mis manos con la misma limpieza,
31 Then in corruption Thou dost dip me, And my garments have abominated me.
31 Aun me hundirás en el hoyo, y mis propios vestidos me abominarán.
32 But if a man like myself — I answer him, We come together into judgment.
32 Porque no es hombre como yo, para que yo le responda, y vengamos juntamente á juicio.
33 If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand on us both.
33 No hay entre nosotros árbitro que ponga su mano sobre nosotros ambos.
34 He doth turn aside from off me his rod, And His terror doth not make me afraid,
34 Quite de sobre mí su vara, y su terror no me espante.
35 I speak, and do not fear Him, But I am not right with myself.
35 Entonces hablaré, y no le temeré: porque así no estoy en mí mismo.

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).
That which a certain scripture says: "The earth was delivered into the hands of the ungodly." The flesh was given into the power of the Jews; and this that thereby the bag, as it were, might be rent asunder, whence our purchase-price might run out.

And this Job said mystically, Which alone spread out the heaven, and walketh upon the sea as on firm ground; signifying to those who understand that He who when present here walked upon the sea is also He who aforetime made the heavens.

"The earth is given into the hands of the wicked." What is meant by "earth" being "given into the hands of the ungodly"?

"I slept," because "I have power to lay down My life, and I have power to take it again." "I laid Me down and slept, and rose up again." Rage then the Jews; be "the earth given into the hands of the wicked," be the flesh left to the hands of persecutors, let them on wood suspend it, with nails …
