1 Then Job answered and said, 2 Even today is my complaint rebellious: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat! 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me. 7 There the upright might reason with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. 8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not [there]; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 9 On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him. 10 But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held fast to his steps; his way have I kept, and turned not aside. 12 I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. 13 But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. 14 For he performeth that which is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. 15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him. 16 For God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath troubled me: 17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

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).
Place there is none; we go both "backward" and "forward," and there is no place.
