For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought； and stripped the naked of their clothing。
22：7困乏的人，你没有给他水喝。饥饿的人，你没有给他食物。
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink； and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry。
22：8有能力的人就得地土。尊贵的人也住在其中。
But as for the mighty man； he had the earth； and the honourable man dwelt in it。
22：9你打发寡妇空手回去，折断孤儿的膀臂。
Thou hast sent widows away empty； and the arms of the fatherless have been broken。
22：10因此，有网罗环绕你，有恐惧忽然使你惊惶。
Therefore snares are round about thee； and sudden fear troubleth thee；
22：11或有黑暗蒙蔽你，并有洪水淹没你。
Or darkness； that thou canst not see； and abundance of waters cover thee。
22：12神岂不是在高天吗。你看星宿何其高呢。
Is not God in the height of heaven？ and behold the height of the stars； how high they are！
22：13你说，神知道什么。他岂能看透幽暗施行审判呢。
And thou sayest； How doth God know？ can he judge through the dark cloud？
22：14密云将他遮盖，使他不能看见。他周游穹苍。
Thick clouds are a covering to him； that he seeth not； and he walketh in the circuit of heaven。
22：15你要依从上古的道吗。这道是恶人所行的。
Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden？
22：16他们未到死期，忽然除灭。根基毁坏，好像被江河冲去。
Which were cut down out of time； whose foundation was overflown with a flood：
22：17他们向神说，离开我们吧。又说，全能者能把我们怎吗样呢。
Which said unto God； Depart from us： and what can the Almighty do for them？
22：18那知，神以美物充满他们的房屋。但恶人所谋定的离我好远。
Yet he filled their houses with good things： but the counsel of the wicked is far from me。
22：19义人看见他们的结局就欢喜。无辜的人嗤笑他们。
The righteous see it； and are glad： and the innocent laugh them to scorn。
22：20说，那起来攻击我们的果然被剪除，其馀的都被火烧灭。
Whereas our substance is not cut down； but the remnant of them the fire consumeth。
22：21你若认识神，就得平安。福气也必临到你。
Acquaint now thyself with him； and be at peace： thereby good shall e unto thee。
22：22你当领受他口中的教训，将他的言语存在心里。
Receive； I pray thee； the law from his mouth； and lay up his words in thine heart。
22：23你若向全能者，从你帐棚中远除不义，就必得建立。
If thou return to the Almighty； thou shalt be built up； thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles。
22：24要将你的珍宝丢在尘土里，将俄斐的黄金丢在溪河石头之间。
Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust； and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks。
22：25全能者就必为你的珍宝，作你的宝银。
Yea； the Almighty shall be thy defence； and thou shalt have plenty of silver。
22：26你就要以全能者为喜乐，向神仰起脸来。
For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty； and shalt lift up thy face unto God。
22：27你要祷告他，他就听你。你也要还你的愿。
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him； and he shall hear thee； and thou shalt pay thy vows。
22：28你定意要作何事，必然给你成就。亮光也必照耀你的路。
Thou shalt also decree a thing； and it shall be established unto thee： and the light shall shine upon thy ways。
22：29人使你降卑，你仍可说，必得高升。谦卑的人神必拯救。
When men are cast down； then thou shalt say； There is lifting up； and he shall save the humble person。
22：30人非无辜，神且要搭救他。他因你手中清洁，必蒙拯救。
He shall deliver the island of the innocent： and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands。

23：1约伯回答说，
Then Job answered and said；
23：2如今我的哀告还算为悖逆。我的责罚比我的唉哼还重。
Even to day is my plaint bitter： my stroke is heavier than my groaning。
23：3惟愿我能知道在那里可以寻见神，能到他的台前。
Oh that I knew where I might find him！ that I might e even to his seat！
23：4我就在他面前将我的案件陈明，满口辩白。
I would order my cause before him； and fill my mouth with arguments。
23：5我必知道他回答我的言语，明白他向我所说的话。
I would know the words which he would answer me； and understand what he would say unto me。
23：6他岂用大能与我争辩吗。必不这样，他必理会我。
Will he plead against me with his great power？ No； but he would put strength in me。
23：7在他那里，正直人可以与他辩论。这样，我必永远脱离那审判我的。
There the righteous might dispute with him； so should I be delivered for ever from my judge。
23：8只是，我往前行，他不在那里，往后退，也不能见他。
Behold； I go forward； but he is not there； and backward； but I cannot perceive him：
23：9他在左边行事，我却不能看见，在右边隐藏，我也不能见他。
On the left hand； where he doth work； but I cannot behold him： he hideth himself on the right hand； that I cannot see him：
23：10然而他知道我所行的路。他试炼我之后，我必如精金。
But he knoweth the way that I take： when he hath tried me； I shall e forth as gold。
23：11我脚追随他的步履。我谨守他的道，并不偏离。
My foot hath held his steps； his way have I kept； and not declined。
23：12他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背弃。我看重他口中的言语，过于我需用的饮食。
Neither have I gone back from the mandment of his lips； I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food。
23：13只是他心志已定，谁能使他转意呢。他心里所愿的，就行出来。
But he is in one mind； and who can turn him？ and what his soul desireth； even that he doeth。
23：14他向我所定的，就必做成。这类的事他还有许多。
For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me： and many such things are with him。
23：15所以我在他面前惊惶，我思念这事，便惧怕他。
Therefore am I troubled at his presence： when I consider； I am afraid of him。
23：16神使我丧胆，全能者使我惊惶。
For God maketh my heart soft； and the Almighty troubleth me：
23：17我的恐惧，不是因为黑暗，也不是因为幽暗蒙蔽我的脸。
Because I was not cut off before the darkness； neither hath he covered the darkness from my face。
旧约 约伯记（Job） 第 24 章 （ 本篇共有 42 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
24：1全能者既定期罚恶，为何不使认识他的人看见那日子呢。
Why； seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty； do they that know him not see his days？
24：2有人挪移地界，抢夺群畜而牧养。
Some remove the landmarks； they violently take away flocks； and feed thereof。
24：3他们拉去孤儿的驴，强取寡妇的牛为当头。
They drive away the ass of the fatherless； they take the widow's ox for a pledge。
24：4他们使穷人离开正道，世上的贫民尽都隐藏。
They turn the needy out of the way： the poor of the earth hide themselves together。
24：5这些贫穷人，如同野驴出到旷野，殷勤寻梢食物。他们靠着野地给儿女糊口，
Behold； as wild asses in the desert； go they forth to their work； rising betimes for a prey： the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children。
24：6收割别人田间的禾稼，摘取恶人馀剩的葡萄。
They reap every one his corn in the field： and they gather the vintage of the wicked。
24：7终夜赤身无衣，天气寒冷毫无遮盖，
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing； that they have no covering in the cold。
24：8在山上被大雨淋湿，因没有避身之处就挨近磐石。
They are wet with the showers of the mountains； and embrace the rock for want of a shelter。
24：9又有人从母怀中抢夺孤儿，强取穷人的衣服为当头。
They pluck the fatherless from the breast； and take a pledge of the poor。
24：10使人赤身无衣，到处流行，且因饥饿扛抬禾捆，
They cause him to go naked without clothing； and they take away the sheaf from the hungry；
24：11在那些人的围墙内造油，榨酒，自己还口渴。
Which make oil within their walls； and tread their winepresses； and suffer thirst。
24：12在多民的城内有人唉哼，受伤的人哀号。神却不理会（那恶人的愚妄。
Men groan from out of the city； and the soul of the wounded crieth out： yet God layeth not folly to them。
24：13又有人背弃光明，不认识光明的道，不住在光明的路上。
They are of those that rebel against the light； they know not the ways thereof； nor abide in the paths thereof。
24：14杀人的黎明起来，杀害困苦穷乏人，夜间又作盗贼。
The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy； and in the night is as a thief。
24：15奸夫等候黄昏，说，必无眼能见我，就把脸蒙蔽。
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight； saying； No eye shall see me： and disguiseth his face。
24：16盗贼黑夜挖窟窿，白日躲藏，并不认识光明。
In the dark they dig through houses； which they had marked for themselves in the daytime： they know not the light。
24：17他们看早晨如幽暗，因为他们晓得幽暗的惊骇。
For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death： if one know them； they are in the terrors of the shadow of death。
24：18这些恶人犹如浮萍快快飘去。他们所得的分在世上被咒诅。他们不得再走葡萄园的路。
He is swift as the waters； their portion is cursed in the earth： he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards。
24：19乾旱炎热消没雪水，阴间也如此消没犯罪之辈。
Drought and heat consume the snow waters： so doth the grave those which have sinned。
24：20怀他的母（原文是胎）要忘记他。虫子要吃他，觉得甘甜。他不再被人记念。不义的人必如树折断。
The womb shall forget him； the worm shall feed sweetly on him； he shall be no more remembered； and wickedness shall be broken as a tree。
24：21他恶待（或作他吞灭）不怀孕不生养的妇人，不善待寡妇。
He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not： and doeth not good to the widow。
24：22然而神用能力保全有势力的人，那性命难保的人仍然兴起。
He draweth also the mighty with his power： he riseth up； and no man is sure of life。
24：23神使他们安稳，他们就有所倚靠。神的眼目也看顾他们的道路。
Though
