Are there not mockers with me？ and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation？
17：3愿主拿凭据给我，自己为我作保。在你以外谁肯与我击掌呢。
Lay down now； put me in a surety with thee； who is he that will strike hands with me？
17：4因你使他们心不明理，所以你必不高举他们。
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding： therefore shalt thou not exalt them。
17：5控告他的朋友，以朋友为可抢夺的，连他儿女的眼睛也要失明。
He that speaketh flattery to his friends； even the eyes of his children shall fail。
17：6神使我作了民中的笑谈。他们也吐唾沫在我脸上。
He hath made me also a byword of the people； and aforetime I was as a tabret。
17：7我的眼睛因忧愁昏花。我的百体好像影儿。
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow； and all my members are as a shadow。
17：8正直人因此必惊奇。无辜的人，要兴起攻击不敬虔之辈。
Upright men shall be astonied at this； and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite。
17：9然而，义人要持守所行的道。手洁的人要力上加力。
The righteous also shall hold on his way； and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger。
17：10至于你们众人，可以再来辩论吧。你们中间，我找不着一个智慧人。
But as for you all； do ye return； and e now： for I cannot find one wise man among you。
17：11我的日子已经过了。我的谋算，我心所想望的已经断绝。
My days are past； my purposes are broken off； even the thoughts of my heart。
17：12他们以黑夜为白昼，说，亮光近乎黑暗。
They change the night into day： the light is short because of darkness。
17：13我若盼望阴间为我的房屋，若下榻在黑暗中，
If I wait； the grave is mine house： I have made my bed in the darkness。
17：14若对朽坏说，你是我的父。对虫说，你是我的母亲姊妹。
I have said to corruption； Thou art my father： to the worm； Thou art my mother； and my sister。
17：15这样，我的指望在那里呢。我所指望的谁能看见呢。
And where is now my hope？ as for my hope； who shall see it？
17：16等到安息在尘土中，这指望必下到阴间的门闩那里了。
They shall go down to the bars of the pit； when our rest together is in the dust。

18：1书亚人比勒达回答说，
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite； and said；
18：2你寻索言语要到几时呢。你可以揣摩思想，然后我们就说话。
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words？ mark； and afterwards we will speak。
18：3我们为何算为畜生，在你眼中看作污秽呢。
Wherefore are we counted as beasts； and reputed vile in your sight？
18：4你这恼怒将自己撕裂的，难道大地为你见弃，磐石挪开原处吗。
He teareth himself in his anger： shall the earth be forsaken for thee？ and shall the rock be removed out of his place？
18：5恶人的亮光必要熄灭。他的火焰必不照耀。
Yea； the light of the wicked shall be put out； and the spark of his fire shall not shine。
18：6他帐棚中的亮光要变为黑暗。他以上的灯也必熄灭。
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle； and his candle shall be put out with him。
18：7他坚强的脚步必见狭窄。自己的计谋必将他绊倒。
The steps of his strength shall be straitened； and his own counsel shall cast him down。
18：8因为他被自己的脚陷入网中，走在缠人的网罗上。
For he is cast into a net by his own feet； and he walketh upon a snare。
18：9圈套必抓住他的脚跟。机关必擒获他。
The gin shall take him by the heel； and the robber shall prevail against him。
18：10活扣为他藏在土内。羁绊为他藏在路上。
The snare is laid for him in the ground； and a trap for him in the way。
18：11四面的惊吓要使他害怕，并且追赶他的脚跟。
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side； and shall drive him to his feet。
18：12他的力量必因饥饿衰败，祸患要在他旁边等候。
His strength shall be hungerbitten； and destruction shall be ready at his side。
18：13他本身的肢体要被吞吃，死亡的长子要吞吃他的肢体。
It shall devour the strength of his skin： even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength。
18：14他要从所倚靠的帐棚被拔出来，带到惊吓的王那里。
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle； and it shall bring him to the king of terrors。
18：15不属他的必住在他的帐棚里。硫磺必撒在他所住之处。
It shall dwell in his tabernacle； because it is none of his： brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation。
18：16下边，他的根本要枯乾。上边，他的枝子要剪除。
His roots shall be dried up beneath； and above shall his branch be cut off。
18：17他的记念在地上必然灭亡。他的名字在街上也不存留。
His remembrance shall perish from the earth； and he shall have no name in the street。
18：18他必从光明中被撵到黑暗里，必被赶出世界。
He shall be driven from light into darkness； and chased out of the world。
18：19在本民中必无子无孙。在寄居之地也无一人存留。
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people； nor any remaining in his dwellings。
18：20以后来的要惊奇他的日子，好像以前去的受了惊骇。
They that e after him shall be astonied at his day； as they that went before were affrighted。
18：21不义之人的住处总是这样。此乃不认识神之人的地步。
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked； and this is the place of him that knoweth not God。

19：1约伯回答说，
Then Job answered and said；
19：2你们搅扰我的心，用言语压碎我，要到几时呢。ⅶ
How long will ye vex my soul； and break me in pieces with words？
19：3你们这十次羞辱我。你们苦待我也不以为耻。
These ten times have ye reproached me： ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me。
19：4果真我有错，这错乃是在我。
And be it indeed that I have erred； mine error remaineth with myself。
19：5你们果然要向我夸大，以我的羞辱为证指责我。
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me； and plead against me my reproach：
19：6就该知道是神倾覆我，用网罗围绕我。
Know now that God hath overthrown me； and hath passed me with his net。
19：7我因委曲呼叫，却不蒙应允。我呼求，却不得公断。
Behold； I cry out of wrong； but I am not heard： I cry aloud； but there is no judgment。
19：8神用篱笆拦住我的道路，使我不得经过。又使我的路径黑暗。
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass； and he hath set darkness in my paths。
19：9他剥去我的荣光，摘去我头上的冠冕。
He hath stripped me of my glory； and taken the crown from my head。
19：10他在四围攻击我，我便归于死亡，将我的指望如树拔出来。
He hath destroyed me on every side； and I am gone： and mine hope hath he removed like a tree。
19：11他的忿怒向我发作，以我为敌人。
He hath also kindled his wrath against me； and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies。
19：12他的军旅一齐上来，修筑战路攻击我。在我帐棚的四围安营。
His troops e together； and raise up their way against me； and encamp round about my tabernacle。
19：13他把我的弟兄隔在远处，使我所认识的，全然与我生疏。
He hath put my brethren far from me； and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me。
19：14我的亲戚与我断绝。我的密友都忘记我。
My kinsfolk have failed； and my familiar friends have forgotten me。
19：15在我家寄居的，和我的使女都以我为外人。我在他们眼中看为外邦人。
They that dwell in mine house； and my maids； count me for a stranger： I am an alien in their sight。
19：16我呼唤仆人，虽用口求他，他还是不回答。
I called my servant； and he gave me no answer； I intreated him with my mouth。
19：17我口的气味，我妻子厌恶。我的恳求，我同胞也憎嫌。
My breath is strange to my wife； though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body。
19：18连小孩子也藐视我。我若起来，他们都嘲笑我。
Yea； young children despised me； I arose； and they spake against me。
19：19我的密友都憎恶我。我平日所爱的人向我翻脸。
All my inward friends abhorred me： and they whom I loved are turned against me。
19：20我的皮肉紧贴骨头。我只剩牙皮逃脱了。
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh； and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth。
19：21我朋友阿，可怜我。可怜我。因为神的手攻击我。
Have pity upon me； have pity upon me； O ye my friends； for the hand of God hath touched me。
19：22你们为什么彷佛神逼迫我，吃我的肉还以为不足呢。
Why do ye persecute me as God； and are not satisfied with my flesh？
19：23惟愿我的言语现在写上，都记录在书上。
Oh that my words were now written！ oh that they were printed in a book！
19：24用铁笔镌刻，用铅灌在磐石上，直存到永远。
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever！
19：25我知道我的救赎主活着，末了必站立在地上。
For I know that my redeemer liveth； and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth：
19：26我这皮肉灭绝之后，我必在肉体之外得见神。
And though after my skin worms destroy this body； yet in my flesh shall I see God：
19：27我自己要见他，亲眼要看他，并不像外人。我的心肠在我里面消灭了。
Whom I shall see for myself； and mine eyes shall behold； and not another； though my reins be consumed within me。
19：28你们若说，我们逼迫他要何等地重呢。惹事的根乃在乎他。
But ye should say； Why persecute we him； seeing the root of the matter is found in me？
19：29你们就当惧怕刀剑。因为忿怒惹动刀剑的刑罚，使你们知道有报应（原文作审判）。
Be ye afraid of the sword： for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword； that ye may know there is a judgment。
