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。

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)

Job Reproaches His Pitiless Friends
16 Then Job answered and said:
2 “I have heard many such things;
(A)Miserable[a] comforters are you all!
3 Shall [b]words of wind have an end?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I also could speak as you do,
If your soul were in my soul’s place.
I could heap up words against you,
And (B)shake my head at you;
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.
6 “Though I speak, my grief is not relieved;
And if I remain silent, how am I eased?
7 But now He has (C)worn me out;
You (D)have made desolate all my company.
8 You have shriveled me up,
And it is a (E)witness against me;
My leanness rises up against me
And bears witness to my face.
9 (F)He tears me in His wrath, and hates me;
He gnashes at me with His teeth;
(G)My adversary sharpens His gaze on me.
10 They (H)gape at me with their mouth,
They (I)strike me reproachfully on the cheek,
They gather together against me.
11 God (J)has delivered me to the ungodly,
And turned me over to the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but He has (K)shattered me;
He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces;
He has (L)set me up for His target,
13 His archers surround me.
He pierces my [c]heart and does not pity;
He pours out my gall on the ground.
14 He breaks me with wound upon wound;
He runs at me like a [d]warrior.
15 “I have sewn sackcloth over my skin,
And (M)laid my [e]head in the dust.
16 My face is [f]flushed from weeping,
And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17 Although no violence is in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.
18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,
And (N)let my cry have no resting place!
19 Surely even now (O)my witness is in heaven,
And my evidence is on high.
20 My friends scorn me;
My eyes pour out tears to God.
21 (P)Oh, that one might plead for a man with God,
As a man pleads for his [g]neighbor!
22 For when a few years are finished,
I shall (Q)go the way of no return.
