How long will ye vex my soul； and break me in pieces with words？
19：3你们这十次羞辱我。你们苦待我也不以为耻。
These ten times have ye reproached me： ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me。
19：4果真我有错，这错乃是在我。
And be it indeed that I have erred； mine error remaineth with myself。
19：5你们果然要向我夸大，以我的羞辱为证指责我。
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me； and plead against me my reproach：
19：6就该知道是神倾覆我，用网罗围绕我。
Know now that God hath overthrown me； and hath passed me with his net。
19：7我因委曲呼叫，却不蒙应允。我呼求，却不得公断。
Behold； I cry out of wrong； but I am not heard： I cry aloud； but there is no judgment。
19：8神用篱笆拦住我的道路，使我不得经过。又使我的路径黑暗。
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass； and he hath set darkness in my paths。
19：9他剥去我的荣光，摘去我头上的冠冕。
He hath stripped me of my glory； and taken the crown from my head。
19：10他在四围攻击我，我便归于死亡，将我的指望如树拔出来。
He hath destroyed me on every side； and I am gone： and mine hope hath he removed like a tree。
19：11他的忿怒向我发作，以我为敌人。
He hath also kindled his wrath against me； and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies。
19：12他的军旅一齐上来，修筑战路攻击我。在我帐棚的四围安营。
His troops e together； and raise up their way against me； and encamp round about my tabernacle。
19：13他把我的弟兄隔在远处，使我所认识的，全然与我生疏。
He hath put my brethren far from me； and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me。
19：14我的亲戚与我断绝。我的密友都忘记我。
My kinsfolk have failed； and my familiar friends have forgotten me。
19：15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。
They that dwell in mine house； and my maids； count me for a stranger： I am an alien in their sight。
19：16我呼唤仆人，虽用口求他，他还是不回答。
I called my servant； and he gave me no answer； I intreated him with my mouth。
19：17我口的气味，我妻子厌恶。我的恳求，我同胞也憎嫌。
My breath is strange to my wife； though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body。
19：18连小孩子也藐视我。我若起来，他们都嘲笑我。
Yea； young children despised me； I arose； and they spake against me。
19：19我的密友都憎恶我。我平日所爱的人向我翻脸。
All my inward friends abhorred me： and they whom I loved are turned against me。
19：20我的皮肉紧贴骨头。我只剩牙皮逃脱了。
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh； and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth。
19：21我朋友阿，可怜我。可怜我。因为神的手攻击我。
Have pity upon me； have pity upon me； O ye my friends； for the hand of God hath touched me。
19：22你们为什么彷佛神逼迫我，吃我的肉还以为不足呢。
Why do ye persecute me as God； and are not satisfied with my flesh？
19：23惟愿我的言语现在写上，都记录在书上。
Oh that my words were now written！ oh that they were printed in a book！
19：24用铁笔镌刻，用铅灌在磐石上，直存到永远。
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever！
19：25我知道我的救赎主活着，末了必站立在地上。
For I know that my redeemer liveth； and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth：
19：26我这皮肉灭绝之后，我必在肉体之外得见神。
And though after my skin worms destroy this body； yet in my flesh shall I see God：
19：27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。
Whom I shall see for myself； and mine eyes shall behold； and not another； though my reins be consumed within me。
19：28你们若说，我们逼迫他要何等地重呢。惹事的根乃在乎他。
But ye should say； Why persecute we him； seeing the root of the matter is found in me？
19：29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）。
Be ye afraid of the sword： for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword； that ye may know there is a judgment。
旧约 约伯记（Job） 第 20 章 （ 本篇共有 42 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
20：1拿玛人琐法回答说，
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite； and said；
20：2我心中急躁，所以我的思念叫我回答。
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer； and for this I make haste。
20：3我已听见那羞辱我，责备我的话。我的悟性叫我回答。
I have heard the check of my reproach； and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer。
20：4你岂不知亘古以来，自从人生在地。
Knowest thou not this of old； since man was placed upon earth；
20：5恶人夸胜是暂时的，不敬虔人的喜乐，不过转眼之间吗。
That the triumphing of the wicked is short； and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment？
20：6他的尊荣虽达到天上，头虽顶到云中，
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens； and his head reach unto the clouds；
20：7他终必灭亡，像自己的粪一样。素来见他的人要说，他在那里呢。
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung： they which have seen him shall say； Where is he？
20：8他必飞去如梦，不再寻见，速被赶去，如夜间的异象。
He shall fly away as a dream； and shall not be found： yea； he shall be chased away as a vision of the night。
20：9亲眼见过他的，必不再见他。他的本处也再见不着他。
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more； neither shall his place any more behold him。
20：10他的儿女要求穷人的恩。他的手要赔还不义之财。
His children shall seek to please the poor； and his hands shall restore their goods。
20：11他的骨头虽然有青年之力，却要和他一同躺卧在尘土中。
His bones are full of the sin of his youth； which shall lie down with him in the dust。
20：12他口内虽以恶为甘甜，藏在舌头底下。
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth； though he hide it under his tongue；
20：13爱恋不舍，含在口中。
Though he spare it； and forsake it not； but keep it still within his mouth：
20：14他的食物在肚里却要化为酸，在他里面成为虺蛇的恶毒。
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned； it is the gall of asps within him。
20：15他吞了财宝，还要吐出。神要从他腹中掏出来。
He hath swallowed down riches； and he shall vomit them up again： God shall cast them out of his belly。
20：16他必吸饮虺蛇的毒气。蝮蛇的舌头也必杀他。
He shall suck the poison of asps： the viper's tongue shall slay him。
20：17流奶与蜜之河，他不得再见。
He shall not see the rivers； the floods； the brooks of honey and butter。
20：18他劳碌得来的要赔还，不得享用（原文作吞下），不能照所得的财货欢乐。
That which he laboured for shall he restore； and shall not swallow it down： according to his substance shall the restitution be； and he shall not rejoice therein。
20：19他欺压穷人，且又离弃。强取非自己所盖的房屋（或作强取房屋不得再建造）。
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor； because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not；
20：20他因贪而无厌，所喜悦的连一样也不能保守。
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly； he shall not save of that which he desired。
20：21其馀的没有一样他不吞灭，所以他的福乐不能长久。
There shall none of his meat be left； therefore shall no man look for his goods。
20：22他在满足有馀的时候，必到狭窄的地步。凡受苦楚的人，都必加手在他身上。
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits： every hand of the wicked shall e upon him。
20：23他正要充满肚腹的时候，神必将猛烈的忿怒，降在他身上。正在他吃饭的时候，要将这忿怒像雨降在他身上。
When he is about to fill his belly； God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him； and shall rain it upon him while he is eating。
20：24他要躲避铁器。铜弓的箭要将他射透。
He shall flee from the iron weapon； and the bow of steel shall strike him through。
20：25他把箭一抽，就从他身上出来。发光的箭头从他胆中出来，有惊惶临在他身上。
It is drawn； and eth out of the body； yea； the glittering sword eth out of his gall： terrors are upon him。
20：26他的财宝归于黑暗。人所不吹的火要把他烧灭，要把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places： a fire not blown shall consume him； it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle。
20：27天要显明他的罪孽，地要兴起攻击他。
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity； and the earth shall rise up against him。
20：28他的家产必然过去。神发怒的日子，他的货物都要消灭。
The increase of his house shall depart； and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath。
20：29这是恶人从神所得的分，是神为他所定的产业。
This is the portion of a wicked man from God； and the heritage appointed unto him by God。
旧约 约伯记（Job） 第 21 章 （ 本篇共有 42 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
21：1约伯回答说，
But Job answered and said；
21：2你们要细听我的言语，就算是你们安慰我。
Hear diligently my speech； and let this be your consolations。
21：3请宽容我，我又要说话。说了以后，任凭你们嗤笑吧。
Suffer me that I may speak； and after that I have spoken； mock on。
21：4我岂是向人诉冤，为何不焦急呢。
As for me； is my plaint to man？ and if it were so； why should not my spirit be troubled？
21：5你们要看着我而惊奇，用手捂口。
Mark me； and be astonished； and lay your hand upon your mouth。
21：6我每逢思想，心就惊惶，浑身战兢。
Even when I remember I am afraid； and trembling taketh hold on my flesh。
21：7恶人为何存活，享大寿数，势力强盛呢。
Wherefore do the wicked live； bee old； yea； are mighty in power？
21：8他们眼见儿孙，和他们一同坚立。
Their seed is established in their sight with them； and their offspring before their eyes。
21：9他们的家宅平安无惧。神的杖也不加在他们身上。
Their houses are safe from fear； neither is the rod of God upon them。
21：10他们的公牛孳生而不断绝。母牛下犊而不掉胎。
Their bull gendereth； and faileth not； their cow calveth； and casteth not her calf。
21：11他们打发小孩子出去，多如羊群。他们的儿女踊跃跳舞。
They send forth their little ones like a flock； and their children dance。
21：12他们随着琴鼓歌唱，又因箫声欢喜。
They take the timbrel and harp； and rejoice at the sound of the organ。
21：13他们度日诸事亨通，转眼下入阴间。
They spend their days in wealth； and in a moment go down to the grave。
21：14他们对神说，离开我们吧。我们不愿晓得你的道。
Therefore they say unto God； Depart from us； for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways。
21：15全能者是谁，我们何必事奉他呢。求告他有什么益处呢。
What is the Almighty； that we should serve him？ and what profit should we have； if we pray unto him？
21：16看哪，他们亨通不在乎自己。恶人所谋定的离我好远。
Lo； their good is not in their hand： the counsel of the wicked is far from me。
21：17恶人的灯何尝熄灭。患难何尝临到他们呢。神何尝发怒，向他们分散灾祸呢。
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out！ and how oft eth their destruction upon them！ God distributeth sorrows in his anger。
21：18他们何尝像风前的碎秸，如暴风刮去的糠秕呢。
