1 Y RESPONDIÓ Jehová á Job desde un torbellino, y dijo:

2 “Who is this who obscures My counsel by words without knowledge?
2 ¿Quién es ése que oscurece el consejo con palabras sin sabiduría?
2 “Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
3 Ahora ciñe como varón tus lomos; yo te preguntaré, y hazme saber tú.
3 Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!

8 Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
8 ¿Quién encerró con puertas la mar, cuando se derramaba por fuera [como] saliendo de madre;
8 “Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,
9 Cuando puse yo nubes por vestidura suya, y por su faja oscuridad.

10 when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,
10 Y establecí sobre ella mi decreto, y le puse puertas y cerrojo,
10 marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,
11 and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?
11 Y dije: Hasta aquí vendrás, y no pasarás adelante, y ahí parará la hinchazón de tus ondas?
11 and said, ‘You may come here, but no further. Your proud waves shall be stopped here’?

14 The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.
14 Trasmúdase como lodo bajo de sello, y viene á estar como [con] vestidura:
14 It is changed as clay under the seal, and presented as a garment.
15 Light is withheld from the wicked, and their upraised arm is broken.
15 Mas la luz de los impíos es quitada de ellos, y el brazo enaltecido es quebrantado.
15 From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.
16 Have you journeyed to the vents of the sea or walked in the trenches of the deep?

19 “What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,
20 so you can lead it back to its border? Do you know the paths to its home?
20 ¿Si llevarás tú [ambas cosas] á sus términos, y entenderás las sendas de su casa?
20 that you should take it to its bound, that you should discern the paths to its house?
