1 约伯回答说,
2 你们真是子民哪,你们死亡,智慧也就灭没了。
3 但我也有聪明,与你们一样,并非不及你们。你们所说的,谁不知道呢?
4 我这求告神,蒙他应允的人,竟成了朋友所讥笑的。公义完全人,竟受了人的讥笑。
5 安逸的人,心里藐视灾祸。这灾祸常常等待滑脚的人。
6 强盗的帐棚兴旺,惹神的人稳固,神多将财物送到他们手中。
7 你且问走兽,走兽必指教你。又问空中的飞鸟,飞鸟必告诉你。
8 或与地说话,地必指教你。海中的鱼也必向你说明。
9 看这一切,谁不知道是耶和华的手做成的呢?
10 凡活物的生命,和人类的气息,都在他手中。
11 耳朵岂不试验言语,正如上膛尝食物吗?
12 年老的有智慧,寿高的有知识。
13 在神有智慧和能力,他有谋略和知识。
14 他拆毁的,就不能再建造。他捆住人,便不得开释。
15 他把水留住,水便枯干。他再发出水来,水就翻地。
16 在他有能力和智慧。被诱惑的,与诱惑人的,都是属他。
17 他把谋士剥衣掳去,又使审判官变成愚人。
18 他放松君王的绑,又用带子捆他们的腰。
19 他把祭司剥衣掳去,又使有能的人倾败。
20 他废去忠信人的讲论,又夺去老人的聪明。
21 他使君王蒙羞被辱,放松有力之人的腰带。
22 他将深奥的事从黑暗中彰显,使死荫显为光明。
23 他使邦国兴旺而又毁灭,他使邦国开广而又掳去。
24 他将地上民中首领的聪明夺去,使他们在荒废无路之地漂流。
25 他们无光,在黑暗中摸索,又使他们东倒西歪,像醉酒的人一样。
