简体中文
1 约伯啊,请听我的话,留心听我一切的言语。
2 我现在开口,用舌发言。
3 我的言语要发明心中所存的正直。我所知道的,我嘴唇要诚实地说出。
4 神的灵造我,全能者的气使我得生。
5 你若回答我,就站起来,在我面前陈明。
6 我在神面前与你一样,也是用土造成。
7 我不用威严惊吓你,也不用势力重压你。
8 你所说的,我听见了,也听见你的言语,说,
9 我是清洁无过的,我是无辜的。在我里面也没有罪孽。
10 神找机会攻击我,以我为仇敌,
11 把我的脚上了木狗,窥察我一切的道路。
12 我要回答你说,你这话无理,因神比世人更大。
13 你为何与他争论呢?因他的事都不对人解说。
14 神说一次,两次,世人却不理会。
15 人躺在床上沉睡的时候,神就用梦,和夜间的异象,
16 开通他们的耳朵,将当受的教训印在他们心上,
17 好叫人不从自己的谋算,不行骄傲的事。(原文作将骄傲向人隐藏)
18 拦阻人不陷于坑里,不死在刀下。
19 人在床上被惩治,骨头中不住地疼痛。
20 以致他的口厌弃食物,心厌恶美味。
21 他的肉消瘦,不得再见。先前不见的骨头都凸出来。
22 他的灵魂临近深坑。他的生命近于灭命的。
23 一千天使中,若有一个作传话的与神同在,指示人所当行的事。
24 神就给他开恩,说,救赎他免得下坑。我已经得了赎价。
25 他的肉要比孩童的肉更嫩。他就返老还童。
26 他祷告神,神就喜悦他,使他欢呼朝见神的面。神又看他为义。
27 他在人前歌唱说,我犯了罪,颠倒是非,这竟与我无益。
28 神救赎我的灵魂免入深坑。我的生命也必见光。
29 神两次,三次,向人行这一切的事。
30 为要从深坑救回人的灵魂,使他被光照耀与活人一样。
31 约伯啊,你当侧耳听我的话,不要作声,等我讲说。
32 你若有话说,就可以回答我。你只管说,因我愿以你为是。
33 若不然,你就听我说。你不要作声,我便将智慧教训你。
King James Version
Chapter 33
33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
33:3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
33:4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
33:5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
33:6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
33:9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
33:10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
33:11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
33:12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
33:17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
33:24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
33:27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
33:28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
33:29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
33:31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
33:32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33:33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
