Job

Chapter 23

1 Then Job347 answered6030 and said,559

2 Even1571 today3117 is my complaint7879 bitter:4805 my stroke3027 is heavier3513 than5921 my groaning.585

3 Oh that4310 5414 I knew3045 where I might find4672 him! that I might come935 even to5704 his seat!8499

4 I would order6186 my cause4941 before6440 him, and fill4390 my mouth6310 with arguments.8433

5 I would know3045 the words4405 which he would answer6030 me, and understand995 what4100 he would say559 unto me.

6 Will he plead7378 against5978 me with his great7230 power?3581 No;3808 but389 he1931 would put7760 strength in me.

7 There8033 the righteous3477 might dispute3198 with5973 him; so should I be delivered6403 forever5331 from my judge.4480 8199

8 Behold,2005 I go1980 forward,6924 but he is not369 there; and backward,268 but I cannot3808 perceive995 him:

9 On the left hand,8040 where he doth work,6213 but I cannot3808 behold2372 him: he hideth5848 himself on the right hand,3225 that I cannot3808 see7200 him:

10 But3588 he knoweth3045 the way1870 that I take:5978 when he hath tried974 me, I shall come forth3318 as gold.2091

11 My foot7272 hath held270 his steps,838 his way1870 have I kept,8104 and not3808 declined.5186

12 Neither3808 have I gone back4185 from the commandment4687 of his lips;8193 I have esteemed6845 the words561 of his mouth6310 more than my necessary4480 2706 food.

13 But he1931 is in one259 mind, and who4310 can turn7725 him? and what his soul5315 desireth,183 even that he doeth.6213

14 For3588 he performeth7999 the thing that is appointed2706 for me: and many7227 such2007 things are with5973 him.

15 Therefore5921 3651 am I troubled926 at his presence:4480 6440 when I consider,995 I am afraid6342 of4480 him.

16 For God410 maketh my heart soft7401 3820 and the Almighty7706 troubleth926 me:

17 Because3588 I was not3808 cut off6789 before4480 6440 the darkness,2822 neither hath he covered3680 the darkness652 from my face.4480 6440

約伯記

第23章

1 約百曰、

2 我心焦勞、大放厥詞、彼降重災、使我欷歔欲絕。

3 彼居何方、願聞其地、吾將往、

4 以所抱之寃抑、陳於其前、折辨不已、

5 則彼定擬之意可知矣。

6 彼必不以大能責我、反加體恤。

7 可得自辨、明我爲義、則人無從罪我。

8 乃趨之於前、而彼不見、索之於後、而彼不在、

9 意其匿於左、而不能遇、意其隱於右、而不克覯。

10 我之行爲、彼所鑒察、見試之後、若金之經煆煉。

11 我履其武而不越、守其道而弗失。

12 恪遵誡命、視其言重於食。

13 厥命不貳、誰能易之、彼從心所欲爲、

14 先定命、後降災、災祲不一、絡繹將至。

15 言念及此、不禁畏懼。

16 全能之上帝、已喪我膽、使我畏葸。

17 喪亂以前、何不先絕我命、使我身不親見憂患焉。
