Job Feels Insulted
19 Then Job responded,
2 “How long will you torment [a]me
And crush me with words?
3 These ten times you have insulted me;
You are not ashamed to wrong me.
4 Even if I have truly done wrong,
My error stays with me.
5 If indeed you (A)exalt yourselves against me
And prove my disgrace to me,
6 Know then that (B)God has wronged me
And has surrounded me with (C)His net.
Everything Is Against Him
7 “Behold, (D)I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I get no answer;
I shout for help, but there is no justice.
8 He has (E)blocked my way so that I cannot pass,
And He has put (F)darkness on my paths.
9 He has (G)stripped my honor from me
And removed the (H)crown from my head.
10 He (I)breaks me down on every side, and I am gone;
And He has uprooted my (J)hope (K)like a tree.
11 He has also (L)kindled His anger against me
And (M)considered me as His enemy.
12 His (N)troops come together
And (O)build up their [b]way against me
And camp around my tent.
13 “He has (P)removed my brothers far from me,
And my (Q)acquaintances have completely turned away from me.
14 My relatives have failed,
And my (R)close friends have forgotten me.
15 Those who live in my house and my servant women consider me a stranger.
I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 I call to my servant, but he does not answer;
I have to implore his favor with my mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife,
And I am loathsome to my own brothers.
18 Even young children despise me;
I stand up and they speak against me.
19 All [c]my (S)associates loathe me,
And those I love have turned against me.
20 My (T)bone clings to my skin and my flesh,
And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
21 Pity me, pity me, you friends of mine,
For the (U)hand of God has struck me.
22 Why do you (V)persecute me as God does,
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
Job Says My Redeemer Lives
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were (W)recorded in a book!
24 That with an iron stylus and lead
They were engraved in the rock forever!
25 Yet as for me, I know that (X)my Redeemer lives,
And at the last, He will take His stand on the [d]earth.
26 Even after my skin [e]is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I will (Y)see God,
27 Whom I, on my part, shall behold for myself,
And whom my eyes will see, and not another.
My [f]heart (Z)faints [g]within me!
28 If you say, ‘How shall we (AA)persecute him?’
And ‘[h]What pretext for a case against him can we find?’
29 Then be afraid of (AB)the sword for yourselves,
For wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
So that you may know (AC)there is judgment.”
约伯记 19

约伯记 19
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約伯責友待己寬待人嚴
19 約伯回答說：
2 “你們叫我受苦要到幾時呢？
用話壓碎我要到幾時呢？
3 你們已經十次侮辱我，
你們苛刻地對我，也不覺得羞恥。
4 即使我真的有過錯，
由我承擔好了。
5 你們若真的妄自尊大攻擊我，
用我的羞辱來證明我的不是，
6 那麼，就知道是 神顛倒我的案件，
用他的網圈住我。
7 我呼叫‘強暴！’卻沒有回答；
我呼求，卻得不到公斷。
8 神用籬笆攔阻我的道路，使我不能經過；
他又使黑暗籠罩我的路。
9 他從我身上剝去我的榮耀，
又挪去我頭上的冠冕。
10 他四面拆毀我，我就離世，
他又把我這指望如樹枝一樣拔出來。
11 他的怒氣向我發作，
把我看作他的敵人；
12 他的軍隊一起上來，
他們建築高的斜道攻擊我（“高的斜道”直譯是“他們的道路”），在我的帳棚周圍安營。
約伯被親友疏遠
13 他使我的族人遠離我，
使我熟悉的人完全與我疏遠。
14 我的親戚離棄我，
我的朋友忘記我；
15 在我家中寄居的和我的婢女，都把我當作外人，
我在他們的眼中是個外族人。
16 我呼喚僕人，他不回答，
我得用口哀求他。
17 妻子厭惡我的氣息，
同胞兄弟也厭棄我，
18 連小孩子也藐視我，
我一起來，他們就譏笑我；
19 我所有的密友都憎惡我，
我所愛的人也向我反臉。
20 我的骨頭緊貼著皮肉，
我只剩牙皮逃過大難。
向友求憐
21 我的朋友啊！求你們憐憫我，憐憫我吧！
因為 神的手擊打了我。
22 你們為甚麼有如 神那樣逼迫我？
還不因吃我的肉感到滿足嗎？
深信終必得蒙救恩
23 但願我的話現在都寫下，
都刻在書簡上，
24 用鐵筆又用鉛，
永遠刻在磐石上。
25 我知道我的救贖主活著，
最後他必在地上興起（“最後他必在地上興起”或譯：“最後他必站立在地上”）。
26 我的皮肉遭受毀壞以後，這事就要發生，
我必在肉體以外得見 神。
27 我必見他在我身邊，
我要親眼見他，並非外人，
我的心腸在我裡面渴想極了。
28 你們若說：‘惹事的根既然在他，
我們要怎樣逼迫他呢？’
29 你們就當懼怕刀劍，
因為這些罪孽帶來刀劍的懲罰，
好使你們知道有審判。”

Job
19 Then Job replied:
2 “How long will you torment(A) me
and crush(B) me with words?
3 Ten times(C) now you have reproached(D) me;
shamelessly you attack me.
4 If it is true that I have gone astray,
my error(E) remains my concern alone.
5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me(F)
and use my humiliation against me,
6 then know that God has wronged me(G)
and drawn his net(H) around me.(I)
7 “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;(J)
though I call for help,(K) there is no justice.(L)
8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;(M)
he has shrouded my paths in darkness.(N)
9 He has stripped(O) me of my honor(P)
and removed the crown from my head.(Q)
10 He tears me down(R) on every side till I am gone;
he uproots my hope(S) like a tree.(T)
11 His anger(U) burns against me;
he counts me among his enemies.(V)
12 His troops advance in force;(W)
they build a siege ramp(X) against me
and encamp around my tent.(Y)
13 “He has alienated my family(Z) from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.(AA)
14 My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends(AB) have forgotten me.
15 My guests(AC) and my female servants(AD) count me a foreigner;
they look on me as on a stranger.
16 I summon my servant, but he does not answer,
though I beg him with my own mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife;
I am loathsome(AE) to my own family.
18 Even the little boys(AF) scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.(AG)
19 All my intimate friends(AH) detest me;(AI)
those I love have turned against me.(AJ)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;(AK)
I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.[a]
21 “Have pity on me, my friends,(AL) have pity,
for the hand of God has struck(AM) me.
22 Why do you pursue(AN) me as God does?(AO)
Will you never get enough of my flesh?(AP)
23 “Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,(AQ)
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool(AR) on[b] lead,
or engraved in rock forever!(AS)
25 I know that my redeemer[c](AT) lives,(AU)
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.[d]
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet[e] in[f] my flesh I will see God;(AV)
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes(AW)—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns(AX) within me!
