Job Continues His Response to Bildad
10 “My inner self[a] loathes my life;
I want to give vent to my complaint;[b]
I want to speak out of the bitterness of my inner self.[c]
2 I will say to God, ‘You should not condemn me;
let me know why you contend against me.
3 Is it good for you that you oppress,
that you despise the labor of your hands,
and you smile over the schemes of the wicked?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?[d]
Or do you see as human beings see?[e]
5 Are your days as the days of human beings,
or your years as the days of man,
6 that you seek out my iniquity,
and you search for my sin
7 because of your knowledge that I am not guilty,
and there is no escaping from your hand?
8 Your hands fashioned me and made me[f] altogether,[g]
then[h] you destroyed me.
9 Please[i] remember that you made me like clay,
but[j] you turn me into dust again?
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and curdle me[k] like cheese?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh,
and you knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 You have granted me life and loyal love,
and your care has preserved my spirit.
13 “‘Yet[l] you hid these things in your heart;
I know that this was your purpose.[m]
14 If I had sinned, then[n] you would be watching me,
and you would not acquit me of my guilt.
15 If I am guilty, woe to me!
But[o] if I am righteous, I dare not lift my head;
I am filled with shame, and just look at my misery!
16 And if my head grows bold, you would hunt me as the lion in its prime;
and you repeat your exploits against me.[p]
17 You renew your witnesses against me,
and you increase your vexation against me;
relief forces[q] are against me.
18 So[r] why did you bring me forth from the womb?
I should have passed away, and no eye should have seen me.[s]
19 I should have been as though I had not been;
I should have been brought from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? Let him leave me alone;
let him turn from me, and let me rejoice a little.
21 Before I go—and I will not return—
to the land of darkness and deep shadow,
22 to the land of darkness,
like the darkness of a deep shadow and chaos,[t]
so that[u] it shines forth like darkness.’”

约伯记 10

约伯记 10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
问 神为甚么要定人的罪
10 “我厌恶我的性命，
我要尽情吐苦水，
倾诉心中的痛苦。
2 我要对 神说：不要定我有罪，
请告诉我你为甚么与我相争。
3 压迫无辜，
又弃绝你手所作的，
却喜悦恶人的计谋，你都以为美吗？
4 你的眼不是肉眼，
你观看不像人观看，
5 你的日子不如人的日子，
你的年岁不像人的年岁，
6 以致你追究我的罪孽，
细察我的罪过吗？
7 你知道我并没有罪，
但没有人能救我脱离你的手。
8 你的手塑我造我，
但一转过来你就要毁灭我。
9 求你记念你造我如抟泥，
你还要使我归于尘土吗？
10 你不是把我倒出来像倒奶，
又使我凝结像乳酪凝固吗？
11 你以皮肉为衣给我穿上，
以筋骨接络我；
12 你赐我生命，又向我施慈爱，
你的眷顾保守我的心灵。
若要受苦，不如夭折
13 这些事你都藏在你的心里，
我知道这是你的旨意。
14 我若犯罪，你就鉴察，
绝不赦免我的罪孽；
15 我若有罪，就有祸了；
我若有理，也不敢抬头，
饱尝羞辱，看看自己的苦难。
16 我若昂首自得，你就如狮子猎我（“如狮子猎我”或译：“猎我如猎狮子”），
又在我身上彰显你惊人的大能。
17 你重新设立见证攻击我，
对我加增你的忿怒，
派兵轮流攻击我。
18 你为甚么使我出母胎呢？
我不如死去，无人得见我，
19 这样，就像从来没有我一样，
一出母腹就被送入坟墓。
20 我的日子不是很少吗？请住手，转离我，
使我在往黑暗死荫之地以先，
21 在去而不返之前，
可以喜乐片刻；
22 那地黑暗，如死荫的幽暗，
毫无秩序，即使有光也像幽暗。”
Job 10
New International Version
Job 10
New International Version
10 “I loathe my very life;(A)
therefore I will give free rein to my complaint
and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.(B)
2 I say to God:(C) Do not declare me guilty,
but tell me what charges(D) you have against me.(E)
3 Does it please you to oppress me,(F)
to spurn the work of your hands,(G)
while you smile on the plans of the wicked?(H)
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
Do you see as a mortal sees?(I)
5 Are your days like those of a mortal
or your years like those of a strong man,(J)
6 that you must search out my faults
and probe after my sin(K)—
7 though you know that I am not guilty(L)
and that no one can rescue me from your hand?(M)
8 “Your hands shaped(N) me and made me.
Will you now turn and destroy me?(O)
9 Remember that you molded me like clay.(P)
Will you now turn me to dust again?(Q)
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and curdle me like cheese,
11 clothe me with skin and flesh
and knit me together(R) with bones and sinews?
12 You gave me life(S) and showed me kindness,(T)
and in your providence(U) watched over(V) my spirit.
13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart,
and I know that this was in your mind:(W)
14 If I sinned, you would be watching me(X)
and would not let my offense go unpunished.(Y)
15 If I am guilty(Z)—woe to me!(AA)
Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,(AB)
for I am full of shame
and drowned in[a] my affliction.(AC)
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion(AD)
and again display your awesome power against me.(AE)
17 You bring new witnesses against me(AF)
and increase your anger toward me;(AG)
your forces come against me wave upon wave.(AH)
18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?(AI)
I wish I had died before any eye saw me.(AJ)
19 If only I had never come into being,
or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!(AK)
20 Are not my few days(AL) almost over?(AM)
Turn away from me(AN) so I can have a moment’s joy(AO)
21 before I go to the place of no return,(AP)
to the land of gloom and utter darkness,(AQ)
22 to the land of deepest night,
of utter darkness(AR) and disorder,
where even the light is like darkness.”(AS)
