WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 I made a covenant with my eyes, that I would not so much as think upon a virgin.
1 “I made a covenant with my eyes; how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?
2 For what part should God from above have in me, and what inheritance the Almighty from on high?
2 For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked, and aversion to them that work iniquity?
3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
4 Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps?
4 Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit:
5 “If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit
6 Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
6 (let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and if my heart hath followed my eyes, and if a spot hath cleaved to my hands:
7 if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
8 Then let me sow and let another eat: and let my offspring be rooted out.
8 then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
9 If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend’s door:
9 “If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,
10 Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her.
10 then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
11 For this is a heinous crime, and a most grievous iniquity.
11 For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
12 It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring.
12 for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
13 If I have despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy against me:
13 “If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me,
14 For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him?
14 what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb?
15 Didn’t he who made me in the womb make him? Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?
16 If I have denied to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait:
16 “If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 If I have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof:
17 or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother’s womb:)
18 (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, I have guided her from my mother’s womb);
19 If I have despised him that was perishing for want of clothing, and the poor man that had no covering:
19 if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
20 If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep:
20 if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw myself superior in the gate:
21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;
22 Let my shoulder fall from its joint, and let my arm with its bones be broken.
22 then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
23 For I have always feared God as waves swelling over me, and his weight I was not able to bear.
23 For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.
24 If I have thought gold my strength, and have said to fine gold: My confidence:
24 “If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’
25 If I have rejoiced over my great riches, and because my hand had gotten much.
25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, and the moon going in brightness:
26 if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,
27 And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with my mouth:
27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth;
28 Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God.
28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have denied the God who is above.
29 If I have been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him.
29 “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him
30 For I have not given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul.
30 (I have certainly not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);
31 If the men of my tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled?
31 if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’
32 The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller.
32 (the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33 If as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom.
33 if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34 If I have been afraid at a very great multitude, and the contempt of kinsmen hath terrified me: and I have not rather held my peace, and not gone out of the door.
34 because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—
35 Who would grant me a hearer, that the Almighty may hear my desire; and that he himself that judgeth would write a book,
35 oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!
36 That I may carry it on my shoulder, and put it about me as a crown?
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and I would bind it to me as a crown.
37 At every step of mine I would pronounce it, and offer it as to a prince.
37 I would declare to him the number of my steps. I would go near to him like a prince.
38 If my land cry against me, and with it the furrows thereof mourn:
38 If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;
39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have afflicted the soul of the tillers thereof:
39 if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,
40 Let thistles grow up to me instead of wheat, and thorns instead of barley.
40 let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

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).
And what is more, when he had them they were no joy to him: so he also declared, saying, "If I did so much as rejoice when my wealth waxed great:" wherefore neither did he grieve when it was gone.

And if thou wouldest also hear of his strivings after continence, hearken to him when he saith, "I made a covenant with mine eyes, that I should not think upon a maid." For this cause his wife did not break his spirit, for he loved her even before this, not however immoderately, but as is due to a wife.
