Job 约伯记06
英语课
6Then Job replied:
2"If only my anguish 1 could be weighed and all my misery 2 be placed on the scales!
3It would surely outweigh 3 the sand of the seas- no wonder my words have been impetuous.
4The arrows of the Almighty 4 are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God's terrors are marshaled against me.
5Does a wild donkey bray 5 when it has grass, or an ox bellow 6 when it has fodder 7?
6Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg ?
7I refuse to touch it; such food makes me ill.
8"Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,
9that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off!
10Then I would still have this consolation- my joy in unrelenting pain- that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.
11"What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects 8, that I should be patient?
12Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?
13Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?
14"A despairing man should have the devotion of his friends, even though he forsakes 9 the fear of the Almighty.
15But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent 10 streams, as the streams that overflow 11
16when darkened by thawing 12 ice and swollen 13 with melting snow,
17but that cease to flow in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.
18Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go up into the wasteland and perish.
19The caravans 14 of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.
20They are distressed 15, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed.
21Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid.
22Have I ever said, 'Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom 16 for me from your wealth,
23deliver me from the hand of the enemy, ransom me from the clutches of the ruthless'?
24"Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.
25How painful are honest words! But what do your arguments prove?
26Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?
27You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter 17 away your friend.
28"But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face?
29Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake.
30Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice 18?
