Job 约伯记36
英语课
36Elihu continued:
2"Bear with me a little longer and I will show you that there is more to be said in God's behalf.
3I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe justice to my Maker 1.
4Be assured that my words are not false; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
5"God is mighty 2, but does not despise men; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.
6He does not keep the wicked alive but gives the afflicted 3 their rights.
7He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts 4 them forever.
8But if men are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,
9he tells them what they have done- that they have sinned arrogantly 5.
10He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent 6 of their evil.
11If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.
12But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13"The godless in heart harbor resentment 7; even when he fetters 8 them, they do not cry for help.
14They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines 9.
15But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.
16"He is wooing you from the jaws 10 of distress 11 to a spacious 12 place free from restriction 13, to the comfort of your table laden 14 with choice food.
17But now you are laden with the judgment 15 due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you.
18Be careful that no one entices 16 you by riches; do not let a large bribe 17 turn you aside.
19Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress?
20Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes.
21Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction.
22"God is exalted 18 in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, 'You have done wrong'?
24Remember to extol 19 his work, which men have praised in song.
25All mankind has seen it; men gaze on it from afar.
26How great is God-beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.
27"He draws up the drops of water, which distill 20 as rain to the streams ;
28the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.
29Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?
30See how he scatters 21 his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea.
31This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance.
32He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
33His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach.
