Job 3 Literal Standard Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 After this Job has opened his mouth, and reviles his day.
1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
2 And Job answers and says:
2 Job answered:
3 “Let the day perish in which I am born, || And the night that has said: A man-child has been conceived.
3 “Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
4 That day—let it be darkness, || Do not let God require it from above, || Nor let light shine on it.
4 Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.
5 Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, || Let a cloud dwell on it, || Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify it.
6 That night—let thick darkness take it, || Let it not be united to days of the year, || Let it not come into the number of months.
6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Behold! That night—let it be barren, || Let no singing come into it.
7 Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let the cursers of day mark it, || Who are ready to wake up Leviathan.
8 Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark, || Let it wait for light, and there is none, || And let it not look on the eyelids of the dawn.
9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
10 Because it has not shut the doors || Of the womb that was mine! And hide misery from my eyes.
10 because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11 Why do I not die from the womb? I have come forth from the belly and gasp!
11 “Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
12 Why have knees been before me? And what [are] breasts, that I suck?
12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
13 For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept—then there is rest to me,
13 For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
14 With kings and counselors of earth, || These building ruins for themselves.
14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
15 Or with princes—they have gold, || They are filling their houses [with] silver.
15 or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
16 (Or I am not as a hidden abortion, || As infants—they have not seen light.)
16 or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
17 There the wicked have ceased troubling, || And there the wearied rest in power.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
18 Together prisoners have been at ease, || They have not heard the voice of an exactor,
18 There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 Small and great [are] the same there. And a servant [is] free from his lord.
19 The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
20 Why does He give light to the miserable, and life to the bitter soul?
20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21 Who are waiting for death, and it is not, || And they seek it above hid treasures.
21 who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 Who are glad—to joy, || They rejoice when they find a grave.
22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 To a man whose way has been hidden, || And whom God shuts up?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 For before my food, my sighing comes, || And my roarings [are] poured out as waters.
24 For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25 For I feared a fear and it meets me, || And what I was afraid of comes to me.
25 For the thing which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to me.
26 I was not safe—nor was I quiet—Nor was I at rest—and trouble comes!”
26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”

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 this he declared, when he said, "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me; and that which I was afraid of is come unto me." And again, "But I wept for every helpless man, and groaned when I saw a man in distress." So because of this, nothing of what happened confounded him, none of those …
