約伯的回答
16 約伯回答說：
2 「這些話，我聽過很多，
你們安慰人，反讓人愁煩。
3 你們的空談無休無止嗎？
是什麼惹你們說個不停？
4 倘若你我易地而處，
我也能說你們那樣的話，
滔滔不絕地攻擊你們，
向你們搖頭。
5 我會對你們講鼓勵的話，
用勸慰之言減輕你們的痛苦。
6 「我若申辯，痛苦不減；
我若緘默，痛苦猶在。
7 上帝啊，你使我精疲力竭，
家破人亡，
8 你榨乾了我，
使我骨瘦如柴，
這成了我的罪證。
9 上帝在憤怒中撕裂我，迫害我，
向我咬牙切齒；
仇敵惡狠狠地盯著我。
10 他們嘲笑我，
輕蔑地摑我的臉，
聯合起來攻擊我。
11 上帝把我交給罪人，
把我扔到惡人手中。
12 我本來平順，祂擊垮了我，
祂抓住我的頸項將我摔碎，
把我當祂的箭靶。
13 祂的弓箭手四面圍住我，
祂毫不留情地刺透我的腎臟，
使我肝膽塗地。
14 祂一次次地擊傷我，
像勇士一樣撲向我。
15 我縫製麻衣，披在身上，
把我的榮耀埋在塵土中。
16 我哭得臉頰紅腫，
眼皮發黑。
17 但我未行殘暴之事，
我的禱告純真。
18 「大地啊！不要掩蓋我的血，
不要攔阻我的呼求。
19 此時，我的見證人在天上，
我的辯護者在高天上。
20 我的朋友譏笑我，
我在上帝面前流淚。
21 但願人與上帝之間有仲裁者，
如同人與人之間。
22 因為我的年日不多，
我快要踏上不歸路。

16 Job’s reply:
2 “I have heard all this before. What miserable comforters all of you are. 3 Won’t you ever stop your flow of foolish words? What have I said that makes you speak so endlessly? 4 But perhaps I’d sermonize the same as you—if you were I and I were you. I would spout off my criticisms against you and shake my head at you. 5 But no! I would speak in such a way that it would help you. I would try to take away your grief.
6 “But now my grief remains no matter how I defend myself; nor does it help if I refuse to speak. 7 For God has ground me down and taken away my family. 8 O God, you have turned me to skin and bones—as a proof, they say, of my sins. 9 God hates me and angrily tears at my flesh; he has gnashed upon me with his teeth and watched to snuff out any sign of life. 10 These ‘comforters’ have gaping jaws to swallow me; they slap my cheek. My enemies gather themselves against me. 11 And God has delivered me over to sinners, into the hands of the wicked.
12 “I was living quietly until he broke me apart. He has taken me by the neck and dashed me to pieces, then hung me up as his target. 13 His archers surround me, letting fly their arrows, so that the ground is wet from my blood. 14 Again and again he attacks me, running upon me like a giant. 15 Here I sit in sackcloth; and have laid all hope in the dust. 16 My eyes are red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death.
17 “Yet I am innocent, and my prayer is pure. 18 O Earth, do not conceal my blood. Let it protest on my behalf.
19 “Yet even now the witness to my innocence is there in heaven; my advocate is there on high. 20 My friends scoff at me, but I pour out my tears to God, 21 pleading that he will listen as a man would listen to his neighbor. 22 For all too soon I must go down that road from which I shall never return.

Job
16 Then Job replied:
2 “I have heard many things like these;
you are miserable comforters,(A) all of you!(B)
3 Will your long-winded speeches never end?(C)
What ails you that you keep on arguing?(D)
4 I also could speak like you,
if you were in my place;
I could make fine speeches against you
and shake my head(E) at you.
5 But my mouth would encourage you;
comfort(F) from my lips would bring you relief.(G)
6 “Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved;
and if I refrain, it does not go away.(H)
7 Surely, God, you have worn me out;(I)
you have devastated my entire household.(J)
8 You have shriveled me up—and it has become a witness;
my gauntness(K) rises up and testifies against me.(L)
9 God assails me and tears(M) me in his anger(N)
and gnashes his teeth at me;(O)
my opponent fastens on me his piercing eyes.(P)
10 People open their mouths(Q) to jeer at me;(R)
they strike my cheek(S) in scorn
and unite together against me.(T)
11 God has turned me over to the ungodly
and thrown me into the clutches of the wicked.(U)
12 All was well with me, but he shattered me;
he seized me by the neck and crushed me.(V)
He has made me his target;(W)
13 his archers surround me.(X)
Without pity, he pierces(Y) my kidneys
and spills my gall on the ground.
14 Again and again(Z) he bursts upon me;
he rushes at me like a warrior.(AA)
15 “I have sewed sackcloth(AB) over my skin
and buried my brow in the dust.(AC)
16 My face is red with weeping,(AD)
dark shadows ring my eyes;(AE)
17 yet my hands have been free of violence(AF)
and my prayer is pure.(AG)
18 “Earth, do not cover my blood;(AH)
may my cry(AI) never be laid to rest!(AJ)
19 Even now my witness(AK) is in heaven;(AL)
my advocate is on high.(AM)
20 My intercessor(AN) is my friend[a](AO)
as my eyes pour out(AP) tears(AQ) to God;
21 on behalf of a man he pleads(AR) with God
as one pleads for a friend.
22 “Only a few years will pass
before I take the path of no return.(AS)
