JobChapter 23 |
|
1 THEN Job answered and said, |
|
2 Even today is my complaint bitter; God's hand is heavier and increases my groaning. |
|
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat! |
|
4 I would lay my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. |
|
5 I would know what he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. |
|
6 Would he contend with me with his great power? If he would not, then he will put his fear into me. |
|
7 There I might contend justly with him; and I might be justified and acquitted. |
|
8 Behold, if he goes before me, I know not; or behind, I cannot perceive him. |
|
9 I seek him on my left hand, but I cannot behold him; then I turn to my right hand, but I cannot see him. |
|
10 But it is he who knows my way and my existence, and has tried me like gold, and I came forth pure. |
|
11 My feet have held firm to his steps, and I have kept his ways. |
|
12 I have not despised the commandments of his lips; neither have I departed from his will, and have kept the words of his mouth. |
|
13 But in return for one of these, what has he granted me? What his soul desires, even that he does. |
|
14 But he performs his covenant; and many such things are with him. |
|
15 Therefore I am fearful at his presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him. |
|
16 For God has troubled my heart, and my mind is confused: |
|
17 Because I was not silenced before the darkness, and before the covering of the blackness. |

|
3 唯願我能知道在哪裏可以尋見神。我好 |
|
4 我就在他面前將我的案件陳明，滿口辯白。 |
|
5 我必知道他回答我的言語，明白他向我所說的話。 |
|
6 他豈用大能與我爭辯嗎？必不這樣。他必加力與 |
|
7 在他那裏義人 |
|
8 |
|
9 他在左邊行事，我卻不能看見，在右邊隱藏，我也不能見他。 |
|
10 然而他知道我所行的路；他試煉我之後，我必如精金。 |
|
11 我腳追隨他的步履；我謹守他的道，並不偏離。 |
|
12 他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背棄；我看重他口中的言語，過於我需用的飲食。 |
|
13 只是他心志已定，誰能使他轉意呢？他心裏所願的，就行出來。 |
|
14 他向我所定的，就必作成；這類的事他還有許多。 |
|
15 所以我在他面前驚惶；我思念這事便懼怕他。 |
|
16 神使我喪膽；全能者使我驚惶。 |
|
17 因為黑暗之中我不被剪除 |
