Complete Jewish Bible
11 Next Tzofar the Na‘amati spoke up:
2 “Shouldn’t this torrent of words be answered?
Does talking a lot make a person right?
3 Is your babble supposed to put others to silence?
When you mock, is no one to make you ashamed?
4 “You claim that your teaching is pure;
you tell [God], ‘I am clean in your sight.’
5 I wish that God would speak,
would open his mouth to answer you,
6 would tell you the secrets of wisdom,
which is worth twice as much as common sense.
Understand that God is demanding of you
less than your guilt deserves.
7 “Can you penetrate God’s depths?
Can you find out Shaddai’s limits?
8 They’re as high as heaven; what can you do?
They’re deeper than Sh’ol; what can you know?
9 Their extent is longer than the earth
and broader than the sea.
10 If he passes through, puts in prison
and assembles [for judgment], who can prevent him?
11 For he knows when people are worthless;
so if he sees iniquity, won’t he look into it?
12 “An empty man can gain understanding,
even if he was born like a wild donkey.
13 If you will set your heart right,
if you will spread out your hands toward him,
14 if you will put your iniquity at a distance
and not let unrighteousness remain in your tents,
15 then when you lift up your face, there will be no defect;
you will be firm and free from fear.
16 “For you will forget your misery;
you’ll remember it like a flood that passed through long ago;
17 your life will be brighter than noon;
even its darkness will be like morning.
18 You will be confident, because there is hope;
you will look around you and lie down secure;
19 you will rest, and no one will make you afraid.
Many will seek your favor;
20 but the eyes of the wicked will fail [to find comfort].
They will find no way to escape,
and their hope will turn to complete disappointment.”

瑣法首次發言指責約伯自義
11 拿瑪人瑣法回答說：
2 “這許多的話怎可不回答，
多嘴多舌的人怎能算為義呢？
3 你胡言亂語可使人不作聲嗎？
你嘲笑的時候，無人責備嗎？
4 你說：‘我的道理純全，
我在你眼前潔淨。’
5 但願 神說話，
願他開口跟你說話，
6 把智慧的奧祕向你顯明，
因為真的智慧有兩面。
你當知道 神已忘記了你一部分的罪孽。
神洞悉人的罪
7 神高深莫測之事你怎能查出呢？
全能者的終極你怎能洞悉呢？
8 他的智慧高於諸天，你能作甚麼呢？
比陰間還深，你怎能識透？
9 他的智慧比地長，比海寬。
10 他若過來把人囚禁，
召人受審，誰能阻止他呢？
11 因為他認識虛謊的人，
他看見欺詐，怎能不鑒察？
12 虛妄的人悟出慧心，
就像野驢生子為人。
勸約伯悔改離罪
13 你若心裡歸向他，
又向他伸手禱告；
14 你若遠遠地除掉你手裡的欺詐，
不讓不義居在你的帳棚裡；
15 那麼你必仰面，毫無愧色；
你也必堅定穩妥，無所懼怕。
16 你必忘記你的苦楚，
回憶好像逝去的流水，
17 你們的人生必明亮如正午，
雖然黑暗仍像早晨。
18 因為有指望，你必安穩，
你必四處巡查，安然睡覺。
19 你躺臥，不受驚嚇，
必有很多人求你的情面。
20 但惡人的眼目必昏花，
逃亡之路也必斷絕，
他們的指望就是最後的一口氣。”

Zophar
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite(A) replied:
2 “Are all these words to go unanswered?(B)
Is this talker to be vindicated?(C)
3 Will your idle talk(D) reduce others to silence?
Will no one rebuke you when you mock?(E)
4 You say to God, ‘My beliefs are flawless(F)
and I am pure(G) in your sight.’
5 Oh, how I wish that God would speak,(H)
that he would open his lips against you
6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom,(I)
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.(J)
7 “Can you fathom(K) the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8 They are higher(L) than the heavens(M) above—what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths below(N)—what can you know?(O)
9 Their measure(P) is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.(Q)
10 “If he comes along and confines you in prison
and convenes a court, who can oppose him?(R)
11 Surely he recognizes deceivers;
and when he sees evil, does he not take note?(S)
12 But the witless can no more become wise
than a wild donkey’s colt(T) can be born human.[a](U)
13 “Yet if you devote your heart(V) to him
and stretch out your hands(W) to him,(X)
14 if you put away(Y) the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil(Z) to dwell in your tent,(AA)
15 then, free of fault, you will lift up your face;(AB)
you will stand firm(AC) and without fear.(AD)
16 You will surely forget your trouble,(AE)
recalling it only as waters gone by.(AF)
17 Life will be brighter than noonday,(AG)
and darkness will become like morning.(AH)
18 You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest(AI) in safety.(AJ)
19 You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid,(AK)
and many will court your favor.(AL)
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail,(AM)
and escape will elude them;(AN)
their hope will become a dying gasp.”(AO)
