Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 Then Job answered:
1 Then Job answered,
2 “Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?
2 “Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?
3 If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
3 If he is pleased to contend with him, he can’t answer him one time in a thousand.
4 God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
4 God is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him and prospered?
5 He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
5 He removes the mountains, and they don’t know it, when he overturns them in his anger.
6 He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
6 He shakes the earth out of its place. Its pillars tremble.
7 He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.
7 He commands the sun and it doesn’t rise, and seals up the stars.
8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
8 He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
9 He makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the rooms of the south.
10 He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
10 He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.
11 Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
11 Behold, he goes by me, and I don’t see him. He passes on also, but I don’t perceive him.
12 If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
12 Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
13 God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.
13 “God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
14 How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
14 How much less will I answer him, and choose my words to argue with him?
15 For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
15 Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.
16 If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.
16 If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.
17 For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.
17 For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
18 He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19 If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?
19 If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
20 Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
20 Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
21 Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
21 I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.
22 It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
22 “It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
23 When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
23 If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?
25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
25 “Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good.
26 They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
26 They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
27 If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up,’
28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows. I know that you will not hold me innocent.
29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
29 I will be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
30 If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,
30 If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
31 then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
31 yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes will abhor me.
32 For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
33 Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.
33 There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
34 Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
34 Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
35 Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
35 then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.

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).
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 …
