约伯记 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
比勒达首次发言
8 书亚人比勒达回答说：
2 “这些话你要说到几时，
你口中的言语像狂风到几时呢？
3 神怎会歪曲公平？
全能者怎会屈枉公义？
4 你的儿女若得罪了他，
他就因他们的过犯撇弃他们。
5 你若殷勤寻求 神，
向全能者恳求；
6 你若又洁净又正直，
他就必为你奋起，
复兴你公义的居所。
7 你起初虽然微小，
到后来必定非常兴旺。
离开 神毫无倚靠
8 请你查问前几代，
留意他们列祖所查究的。
9 我们只是昨天才有的，所以一无所知；
我们在世的日子不过是影儿。
10 难道他们不指教你，告诉你，
从心里发出言语来吗？
11 蒲草没有泥，怎能生长？
芦苇没有水，怎能长大呢？
12 尚青还没有割下来的时候，
就比百草先枯槁。
13 忘记 神的，他们的末路也是这样；
不敬虔的人，他的指望必成泡影。
14 他所自恃的，必被折断；
他所靠赖的，不过是蜘蛛网。
15 他倚靠自己的家，家却立不住，
他抓紧自己的家，家却存不久。
16 他在阳光之下，枝润叶青，
它的嫩枝长满园子，
17 它的根缠绕石堆，
扎入石地之中。
18 他若从本处被拔除，
那处就否认他，说：‘我没有见过你。’
19 看哪，这就是他人生的乐趣，
往后必有别的人从尘土中生出来。
神不丢弃完全人
20 看哪， 神必不离弃完全人，
也不扶助行恶的人之手；
21 他还要以欢笑充满你的口，
以欢呼充满你的嘴。
22 恨你的都必以羞耻为衣，
恶人的帐棚必归于无有。”

Bildad’s Response
Does God Mess Up?
8 1-7 Bildad from Shuhah was next to speak:
“How can you keep on talking like this?
You’re talking nonsense, and noisy nonsense at that.
Does God mess up?
Does God Almighty ever get things backward?
It’s plain that your children sinned against him—
otherwise, why would God have punished them?
Here’s what you must do—and don’t put it off any longer:
Get down on your knees before God Almighty.
If you’re as innocent and upright as you say,
it’s not too late—he’ll come running;
he’ll set everything right again, reestablish your fortunes.
Even though you’re not much right now,
you’ll end up better than ever.
To Hang Your Life from One Thin Thread
8-19 “Put the question to our ancestors,
study what they learned from their ancestors.
For we’re newcomers at this, with a lot to learn,
and not too long to learn it.
So why not let the ancients teach you, tell you what’s what,
instruct you in what they knew from experience?
Can mighty pine trees grow tall without soil?
Can luscious tomatoes flourish without water?
Blossoming flowers look beautiful before they’re cut or picked,
but without soil or water they wither more quickly than grass.
That’s what happens to all who forget God—
all their hopes come to nothing.
They hang their life from one thin thread,
they hitch their fate to a spider web.
One jiggle and the thread breaks,
one jab and the web collapses.
Or they’re like weeds springing up in the sunshine,
invading the garden,
Spreading everywhere, overtaking the flowers,
getting a foothold even in the rocks.
But when the gardener rips them out by the roots,
the garden doesn’t miss them one bit.
The sooner the godless are gone, the better;
then good plants can grow in their place.
20-22 “There’s no way that God will reject a good person,
and there is no way he’ll help a bad one.
God will let you laugh again;
you’ll raise the roof with shouts of joy,
With your enemies thoroughly discredited,
their house of cards collapsed.”

Bildad
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “How long will you say such things?(B)
Your words are a blustering wind.(C)
3 Does God pervert justice?(D)
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?(E)
4 When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.(F)
5 But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead(G) with the Almighty,(H)
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf(I)
and restore you to your prosperous state.(J)
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous(K) will your future be.(L)
8 “Ask the former generation(M)
and find out what their ancestors learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,(N)
and our days on earth are but a shadow.(O)
10 Will they not instruct(P) you and tell you?
Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?(Q)
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh?(R)
Can reeds(S) thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut,
they wither more quickly than grass.(T)
13 Such is the destiny(U) of all who forget God;(V)
so perishes the hope of the godless.(W)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
what they rely on is a spider’s web.(X)
15 They lean on the web,(Y) but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.(Z)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(AA) over the garden;(AB)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns(AC) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(AD)
19 Surely its life withers(AE) away,
and[b] from the soil other plants grow.(AF)
