Thy words have upholden him that was falling； and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees。
4：5但现在祸患临到你，你就昏迷，挨近你，你便惊惶。
But now it is e upon thee； and thou faintest； it toucheth thee； and thou art troubled。
4：6你的倚靠不是在你敬畏神吗。你的盼望不是在你行事纯正吗。
Is not this thy fear； thy confidence； thy hope； and the uprightness of thy ways？
4：7请你追想，无辜的人有谁灭亡。正直的人在何处剪除。
Remember； I pray thee； who ever perished； being innocent？ or where were the righteous cut off？
4：8按我所见，耕罪孽，种毒害的人，都照样收割。
Even as I have seen； they that plow iniquity； and sow wickedness； reap the same。
4：9神一出气，他们就灭亡。神一发怒，他们就消没。
By the blast of God they perish； and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed。
4：10狮子的吼叫，和猛狮的声音，尽都止息。少壮狮子的牙齿，也都敲掉。
The roaring of the lion； and the voice of the fierce lion； and the teeth of the young lions； are broken。
4：11老狮子因绝食而死。母狮之子也都离散。
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey； and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad。
4：12我暗暗地得了默示。我耳朵也听其细微的声音。
Now a thing was secretly brought to me； and mine ear received a little thereof。
4：13在思念夜中，异象之间，世人沉睡的时候。
In thoughts from the visions of the night； when deep sleep falleth on men；
4：14恐惧，战兢临到我身，使我百骨打战。
Fear came upon me； and trembling； which made all my bones to shake。
4：15有灵从我面前经过，我身上的毫毛直立。
Then a spirit passed before my face； the hair of my flesh stood up：
4：16那灵停住，我却不能辨其形状。有影像在我眼前。我在静默中听见有声音说，
It stood still； but I could not discern the form thereof： an image was before mine eyes； there was silence； and I heard a voice； saying；
4：17必死的人岂能比神公义吗。人岂能比造他的主洁净吗。
Shall mortal man be more just than God？ shall a man be more pure than his maker？
4：18主不信靠他的臣仆，并且指他的使者为愚昧。
Behold； he put no trust in his servants； and his angels he charged with folly：
4：19何况那住在土房，根基在尘土里，被蠹虫所毁坏的人呢。
How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay； whose foundation is in the dust； which are crushed before the moth？
4：20早晚之间，就被毁灭，永归无有，无人理会。
They are destroyed from morning to evening： they perish for ever without any regarding it。
4：21他帐棚的绳索岂不从中抽出来呢。他死，且是无智慧而死。
Doth not their excellency which is in them go away？ they die； even without wisdom。

5：1你且呼求，有谁答应你。诸圣者之中，你转向那一位呢。
Call now； if there be any that will answer thee； and to which of the saints wilt thou turn？
5：2忿怒害死愚妄人，嫉妒杀死痴迷人。
For wrath killeth the foolish man； and envy slayeth the silly one。
5：3我曾见愚妄人扎下根，但我忽然咒诅他的住处。
I have seen the foolish taking root： but suddenly I cursed his habitation。
5：4他的儿女远离稳妥的地步，在城门口被压，并无人搭救。
His children are far from safety； and they are crushed in the gate； neither is there any to deliver them。
5：5他的庄稼有饥饿的人吃尽了，就是在荆棘里的也抢去了。他的财宝有网罗张口吞灭了。
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up； and taketh it even out of the thorns； and the robber swalloweth up their substance。
5：6祸患原不是从土中出来。患难也不是从地里发生。
Although affliction eth not forth of the dust； neither doth trouble spring out of the ground；
5：7人生在世必遇患难，如同火星飞腾。
Yet man is born unto trouble； as the sparks fly upward。
5：8至于我，我必仰望神，把我的事情托付他。
I would seek unto God； and unto God would I mit my cause：
5：9他行大事不可测度，行奇事不可胜数。
Which doeth great things and unsearchable； marvellous things without number：
5：10降雨在地上，赐水于田里。
Who giveth rain upon the earth； and sendeth waters upon the fields：
5：11将卑微的安置在高处，将哀痛的举到稳妥之地。
To set up on high those that be low； that those which mourn may be exalted to safety。
5：12破坏狡猾人的计谋，使他们所谋的不得成就。
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty； so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise。
5：13他叫有智慧的中了自己的诡计，使狡诈人的计谋速速灭亡。
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness： and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong。
5：14他们白昼遇见黑暗，午间摸索如在夜间。
They meet with darkness in the day time； and grope in the noonday as in the night。
5：15神拯救穷乏人，脱离他们口中的刀，和强暴人的手。
But he saveth the poor from the sword； from their mouth； and from the hand of the mighty。
5：16这样，贫寒的人有指望，罪孽之辈必塞口无言。
So the poor hath hope； and iniquity stoppeth her mouth。
5：17神所惩治的人是有福的。所以你不可轻看全能者的管教。
Behold； happy is the man whom God correcteth： therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty：
5：18因为他打破，又缠裹。他击伤，用手医治。
For he maketh sore； and bindeth up： he woundeth； and his hands make whole。
5：19你六次遭难，他必救你。就是七次，灾祸也无法害你。
He shall deliver thee in six troubles： yea； in seven there shall no evil touch thee。
5：20在饥荒中，他必救你脱离死亡。在争战中，他必救你脱离刀剑的权力。
In famine he shall redeem thee from death： and in war from the power of the sword。
5：21你必被隐藏，不受口舌之害。灾殃临到，你也不惧怕。
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue： neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it eth。
5：22你遇见灾害饥馑，就必嬉笑。地上的野兽，你也不惧怕。
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh： neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth。
5：23因为你必与田间的石头立约，田里的野兽也必与你和好。
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field： and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee。
5：24你必知道你帐棚平安，要查看你的羊圈，一无所失。
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace； and thou shalt visit thy habitation； and shalt not sin。
5：25也必知道你的后裔将来发达，你的子孙像地上的青草。
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great； and thine offspring as the grass of the earth。
5：26你必寿高年迈才归坟墓，好像禾捆到时收藏。
Thou shalt e to thy grave in a full age； like as a shock of corn eth in in his season。
5：27这理，我们已经考察，本是如此。你须要听，要知道是与自己有益。
Lo this； we have searched it； so it is； hear it； and know thou it for thy good。

6：1约伯回答说，
But Job answered and said；
6：2惟愿我的烦恼称一称，我一切的灾害放在天平里。
Oh that my grief were throughly weighed； and my calamity laid in the balances together！
6：3现今都比海沙更重，所以我的言语急躁。
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea： therefore my words are swallowed up。
6：4因全能者的箭射入我身，其毒，我的灵喝尽了。神的惊吓摆阵攻击我。
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me； the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit： the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me。
6：5野驴有草岂能叫唤，牛有料，岂能吼叫。
Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass？ or loweth the ox over his fodder？
6：6物淡而无盐岂可吃吗，蛋青有什么滋味呢。
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt？ or is there any taste in the white of an egg？
6：7看为可厌的食物，我心不肯挨近。
The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat。
6：8惟愿我得着所求的，愿神赐我所切望的。
Oh that I might have my request； and that God would grant me the thing that I long for！
6：9就是愿神把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。
Even that it would please God to destroy me； that he would let loose his hand； and cut me off！
6：10我因没有违弃那圣者的言语，就仍以此为安慰，在不止息的痛苦中还可踊跃。
Then should I yet have fort； yea； I would harden myself in sorrow： let him not spare； for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One。
6：11我有什么气力使我等候。我有什么结局使我忍耐。
What is my strength； that I should hope？ and what is mine end； that I should prolong my life？
6：12我的气力岂是石头的气力。我的肉身岂是铜的呢。
Is my strength the strength of stones？ or is my flesh of brass？
6：13在我岂不是毫无帮助吗。智慧岂不是从我心中赶出净尽吗。
Is not my help in me？ and is wisdom driven quite from me？
6：14那将要灰心，离弃全能者，不敬畏神的人，他的朋友当以慈爱待他。
To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend； but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty。
6：15我的弟兄诡诈，好像溪水，又像溪水流乾的河道。
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook； and as the stream of brooks they pass away；
6：16这河因结冰发黑，有雪藏在其中。
Which are blackish by reason of the ice； and wherein the snow is hid：
6：17天气渐暖就随时消化，日头炎热便从原处乾涸。
What time they wax warm； they vanish： when it is hot； they are consumed out of their place。
6：18结伴的客旅离弃大道，顺河偏行，到荒野之地死亡。
The paths of their way are turned aside； they go to nothing； and perish。
6：19提玛结伴的客旅瞻望。示巴同夥的人等候。
The troops of Tema looked； the panies of Sheba waited for them。
6：20他们因失了盼望就抱愧，来到那里便蒙羞。
They were confounded because they had hoped； they came thither； and were ashamed。
6：21现在你们正是这样，看见惊吓的事便惧怕。
For now ye are nothing； ye see my casting down； and are afraid。
6：22我岂说，请你们供给我，从你们的财物中送礼物给我。
Did I say； Bring unto me？ or； Give a reward for me of your substa
