WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
2 No doubt you have knowledge, and wisdom will come to an end with you.
2 Ciertamente que vosotros sois el pueblo; y con vosotros morirá la sabiduría.
2 “No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
3 But I have a mind as well as you; I am equal to you: yes, who has not knowledge of such things as these?
3 También tengo yo seso como vosotros; no soy yo menos que vosotros: ¿y quién habrá que no pueda decir otro tanto?
3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?
4 It seems that I am to be as one who is a cause of laughing to his neighbour, one who makes his prayer to God and is answered! the upright man who has done no wrong is to be made sport of!
4 Yo soy uno de quien su amigo se mofa, que invoca á Dios, y él le responde: con todo, el justo y perfecto es escarnecido.
4 I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 In the thought of him who is in comfort there is no respect for one who is in trouble; such is the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
5 Aquel cuyos pies van á resbalar, [es como] una lámpara despreciada de aquel que está á sus anchuras.
5 In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 There is wealth in the tents of those who make destruction, and those by whom God is moved to wrath are safe; even those whose god is their strength.
6 Prosperan las tiendas de los ladrones, y los que provocan á Dios viven seguros; en cuyas manos él ha puesto [cuanto tienen].
6 The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.
7 But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;
7 Y en efecto, pregunta ahora á las bestias, que ellas te enseñarán; y á las aves de los cielos, que ellas te lo mostrarán:
7 “But ask the animals now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
8 Or to the things which go flat on the earth, and they will give you wisdom; and the fishes of the sea will give you news of it.
8 O habla á la tierra, que ella te enseñará; los peces de la mar te [lo] declararán también.
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. The fish of the sea will declare to you.
9 Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this?
9 ¿Qué cosa de todas estas no entiende que la mano de Jehová la hizo?
9 Who doesn’t know that in all these, Yahweh’s hand has done this,
10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all flesh of man.
10 En su mano está el alma de todo viviente, y el espíritu de toda carne humana.
10 in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
11 Are not words tested by the ear, even as food is tasted by the mouth?
11 Ciertamente el oído distingue las palabras, y el paladar gusta las viandas.
11 Doesn’t the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
12 Old men have wisdom, and a long life gives knowledge.
12 En los viejos está la ciencia, y en la larga edad la inteligencia.
12 With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
13 With him there is wisdom and strength; power and knowledge are his.
13 Con Dios está la sabiduría y la fortaleza; suyo es el consejo y la inteligencia.
13 “With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
14 Truly, there is no building up of what is pulled down by him; when a man is shut up by him, no one may let him loose.
14 He aquí, él derribará, y no será edificado: encerrará al hombre, y no habrá quien le abra.
14 Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 Truly, he keeps back the waters and they are dry; he sends them out and the earth is overturned.
15 He aquí, él detendrá las aguas, y se secarán; él las enviará, y destruirán la tierra.
15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 With him are strength and wise designs; he who is guided into error, together with his guide, are in his hands;
16 Con él está la fortaleza y la existencia; suyo es el que yerra, y el que hace errar.
16 With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 He takes away the wisdom of the wise guides, and makes judges foolish;
17 El hace andar á los consejeros desnudos [de consejo], y hace enloquecer á los jueces.
17 He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
18 He undoes the chains of kings, and puts his band on them;
18 El suelta la atadura de los tiranos, y ata el cinto á sus lomos.
18 He loosens the bond of kings. He binds their waist with a belt.
19 He makes priests prisoners, overturning those in safe positions;
19 El lleva despojados á los príncipes, y trastorna á los poderosos.
19 He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
20 He makes the words of responsible persons without effect, and takes away the good sense of the old;

20 He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
21 He puts shame on chiefs, and takes away the power of the strong;
21 El derrama menosprecio sobre los príncipes, y enflaquece la fuerza de los esforzados.
21 He pours contempt on princes, and loosens the belt of the strong.
22 Uncovering deep things out of the dark, and making the deep shade bright;
22 El descubre las profundidades de las tinieblas, y saca á luz la sombra de muerte.
22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
23 Increasing nations, and sending destruction on them; making wide the lands of peoples, and then giving them up.
23 El multiplica las gentes, y él las destruye: él esparce las gentes, y las torna á recoger.
23 He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
24 He takes away the wisdom of the rulers of the earth, and sends them wandering in a waste where there is no way.
24 El quita el seso de las cabezas del pueblo de la tierra, y háceles que se pierdan vagueando sin camino:
24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 They go feeling about in the dark without light, wandering without help like those overcome with wine.
25 Van á tientas como en tinieblas y sin luz, y los hace errar como borrachos.
25 They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
Speak to the earth, if perchance it may teach thee: and though thou inquire of all things which are upon the earth, they shall not be able to tell thee.
