约伯记 11
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
琐法首次发言指责约伯自义
11 拿玛人琐法回答说：
2 “这许多的话怎可不回答，
多嘴多舌的人怎能算为义呢？
3 你胡言乱语可使人不作声吗？
你嘲笑的时候，无人责备吗？
4 你说：‘我的道理纯全，
我在你眼前洁净。’
5 但愿 神说话，
愿他开口跟你说话，
6 把智慧的奥秘向你显明，
因为真的智慧有两面。
你当知道 神已忘记了你一部分的罪孽。
神洞悉人的罪
7 神高深莫测之事你怎能查出呢？
全能者的终极你怎能洞悉呢？
8 他的智慧高于诸天，你能作甚么呢？
比阴间还深，你怎能识透？
9 他的智慧比地长，比海宽。
10 他若过来把人囚禁，
召人受审，谁能阻止他呢？
11 因为他认识虚谎的人，
他看见欺诈，怎能不鉴察？
12 虚妄的人悟出慧心，
就像野驴生子为人。
劝约伯悔改离罪
13 你若心里归向他，
又向他伸手祷告；
14 你若远远地除掉你手里的欺诈，
不让不义居在你的帐棚里；
15 那么你必仰面，毫无愧色；
你也必坚定稳妥，无所惧怕。
16 你必忘记你的苦楚，
回忆好象逝去的流水，
17 你们的人生必明亮如正午，
虽然黑暗仍像早晨。
18 因为有指望，你必安稳，
你必四处巡查，安然睡觉。
19 你躺卧，不受惊吓，
必有很多人求你的情面。
20 但恶人的眼目必昏花，
逃亡之路也必断绝，
他们的指望就是最后的一口气。”
Job 11
New American Standard Bible
Zophar Rebukes Job
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite responded,
2 “Shall a multitude of words go unanswered,
And a (A)talkative man be acquitted?
3 Shall your boasts silence people?
And will you (B)scoff, and no one rebuke?
4 For (C)you have said, ‘My teaching is pure,
And (D)I am innocent in your eyes.’
5 But if only God would speak,
And open His lips against you,
6 And show you the secrets of wisdom!
For sound wisdom [a](E)has two sides.
Know then that God [b]forgets part of (F)your guilt.
7 “(G)Can you discover the depths of God?
Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?
8 They are as (H)high as [c]the heavens; what can you do?
Deeper than [d](I)Sheol; what can you know?
9 Its measurement is longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
10 If He passes by or apprehends people,
Or calls an assembly, (J)who can restrain Him?
11 For (K)He knows false people,
And He (L)sees injustice [e]without investigating.
12 [f](M)An idiot will become intelligent
When a (N)wild donkey is born a human.
13 “(O)If you would (P)direct your heart rightly
And (Q)spread out your hands to Him,
14 If wrongdoing is in your hand, (R)put it far away,
And do not let malice dwell in your tents;
15 Then, indeed, you could (S)lift up your face without moral blemish,
And you would be firmly established and (T)not fear.
16 For you would (U)forget your trouble;
Like (V)waters that have passed by, you would remember it.
17 Your [g]life would [h]be (W)brighter than noonday;
Darkness would be like the morning.
18 Then you would trust, because there is hope;
And you would look around and rest securely.
19 You would (X)lie down and none would disturb you,
And many would [i](Y)flatter you.
20 But the (Z)eyes of the wicked will fail,
And [j]there will (AA)be no escape for them;
And their (AB)hope is [k](AC)to breathe their last.”

King James Version
11 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
