约伯记 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约伯的回答
23 约伯回答说：
2 “我的哀诉至今充满苦楚，
祂的责罚使我呻吟不止。
3 但愿我知道何处能寻见上帝，
知道怎样去祂的居所。
4 我好在祂面前陈明案情，
滔滔不绝地为自己申辩；
5 我好知道祂的答复，
看看祂对我说什么。
6 祂会用大能与我争辩吗？
不会的，祂会垂听我的申诉，
7 允许正直的人与祂理论，
审判者会让我永远脱罪。
8 “然而，我去东边，祂不在那里；
我到西边，也找不到祂。
9 祂在北边工作，我看不见祂；
祂转到南边，我也看不见祂。
10 但祂知道我的一举一动，
我被祂试炼后必如纯金。
11 我紧随祂的脚步，
持守祂的道，没有偏离。
12 我没有违背祂的诫命，
我珍视祂的话语胜过我日用的饮食。
13 祂独行其事，谁能阻挡祂？
祂按自己的意愿行事。
14 祂在我身上的计划必然实现，
祂还有许多这样的计划。
15 所以，我在祂面前惊恐不安。
我想起这事，便对祂充满恐惧。
16 上帝使我心惊胆战，
全能者使我惊恐不安。
17 然而，我不会因为置身黑暗，
被幽暗笼罩而缄默不言。

Job’s Reply to Eliphaz
23 Then Job answered:
2 Today also my complaint is bitter.[a](A)
His[b] hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3 If only I knew how to find him,
so that I could go to his throne.
4 I would plead my case before him(B)
and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would learn how[c] he would answer me;
and understand what he would say to me.
6 Would he prosecute(C) me forcefully?
No, he would certainly pay attention to me.
7 Then an upright man could reason(D) with him,
and I would escape from my Judge[d](E) forever.
8 If I go east, he is not there,
and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.(F)
9 When he is at work to the north, I cannot see him;
when he turns south, I cannot find him.
10 Yet he knows the way I have taken;[e]
when he has tested me,(G) I will emerge as pure gold.
11 My feet have followed in his tracks;
I have kept to his way(H) and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the commands from his lips;
I have treasured[f] the words(I) from his mouth
more than my daily food.
13 But he is unchangeable; who can oppose him?
He does what he desires.(J)
14 He will certainly accomplish what he has decreed for me,
and he has many more things like these in mind.[g]
15 Therefore I am terrified(K) in his presence;
when I consider this, I am afraid of him.
16 God has made my heart faint;(L)
the Almighty has terrified me.
17 Yet I am not destroyed[h] by the darkness,(M)
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
