1 约伯回答说,
2 你们搅扰我的心,用言语压碎我,要到几时呢?
3 你们这十次羞辱我。你们苦待我也不以为耻。
4 果真我有错,这错乃是在我。
5 你们果然要向我夸大,以我的羞辱为证指责我。
6 就该知道是神倾覆我,用网罗围绕我。
7 我因委曲呼叫,却不蒙应允。我呼求,却不得公断。
8 神用篱笆拦住我的道路,使我不得经过。又使我的路径黑暗。
9 他剥去我的荣光,摘去我头上的冠冕。
10 他在四围攻击我,我便归于死亡,将我的指望如树拔出来。
11 他的忿怒向我发作,以我为敌人。
12 他的军旅一齐上来,修筑战路攻击我。在我帐棚的四围安营。
13 他把我的弟兄隔在远处,使我所认识的,全然与我生疏。
14 我的亲戚与我断绝。我的密友都忘记我。
15 在我家寄居的,和我的使女都以我为外人。我在他们眼中看为外邦人。
16 我呼唤仆人,虽用口求他,他还是不回答。
17 我口的气味,我妻子厌恶。我的恳求,我同胞也憎嫌。
18 连小孩子也藐视我。我若起来,他们都嘲笑我。
19 我的密友都憎恶我。我平日所爱的人向我翻脸。
20 我的皮肉紧贴骨头。我只剩牙皮逃脱了。
21 我朋友啊,可怜我。可怜我。因为神的手攻击我。
22 你们为什么仿佛神逼迫我,吃我的肉还以为不足呢?
23 惟愿我的言语现在写上,都记录在书上。
24 用铁笔镌刻,用铅灌在磐石上,直存到永远。
25 我知道我的救赎主活着,末了必站立在地上。
26 我这皮肉灭绝之后,我必在肉体之外得见神。
27 我自己要见他,亲眼要看他,并不像外人。我的心肠在我里面消灭了。
28 你们若说,我们逼迫他要何等地重呢?惹事的根乃在乎他。
29 你们就当惧怕刀剑。因为忿怒惹动刀剑的刑罚,使你们知道有报应(原文作审判)。
King James Version
Chapter 19
19:1 Then Job answered and said,
19:2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
19:3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
19:4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
19:5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
19:6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
19:7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
19:8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
19:9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
19:10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
19:11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
19:12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
19:13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
19:14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
19:15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
19:16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
19:17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
19:18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19:19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19:20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
19:21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
19:22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
19:23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
19:28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
19:29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
