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 it be given him to be in safety； whereon he resteth； yet his eyes are upon their ways。
24：24他们被高举，不过片时就没有了。他们降为卑，被除灭，与众人一样，又如谷穗被割。
They are exalted for a little while； but are gone and brought low； they are taken out of the way as all other； and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn。
24：25若不是这样，谁能证实我是说谎的，将我的言语驳为虚空呢。
And if it be not so now； who will make me a liar； and make my speech nothing worth？

25：1书亚人比勒达回答说，
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite； and said；
25：2神有治理之权，有威严可畏。他在高处施行和平。
Dominion and fear are with him； he maketh peace in his high places。
25：3他的诸军，岂能数算。他的光亮一发，谁不蒙照呢。
Is there any number of his armies？ and upon whom doth not his light arise？
25：4这样在神面前，人怎能称义。妇人所生的怎能洁净。
How then can man be justified with God？ or how can he be clean that is born of a woman？
25：5在神眼前，月亮也无光亮，星宿也不清洁。
Behold even to the moon； and it shineth not； yea； the stars are not pure in his sight。
25：6何况如虫的人，如蛆的世人呢。
How much less man； that is a worm？ and the son of man； which is a worm？

26：1约伯回答说，
But Job answered and said；
26：2无能的人，蒙你何等的帮助。膀臂无力的人，蒙你何等的拯救。
How hast thou helped him that is without power？ how savest thou the arm that hath no strength？
26：3无智慧的人，蒙你何等的指教。你向他多显大知识。
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom？ and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is？
26：4你向谁发出言语来。谁的灵从你而出。
To whom hast thou uttered words？ and whose spirit came from thee？
26：5在大水，和水族以下的阴魂，战兢。
Dead things are formed from under the waters； and the inhabitants thereof。
26：6在神面前，阴间显露。灭亡也不得遮掩。
Hell is naked before him； and destruction hath no covering。
26：7神将北极铺在空中，将大地悬在虚空。
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place； and hangeth the earth upon nothing。
26：8将水包在密云中，云却不破裂。
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds； and the cloud is not rent under them。
26：9遮蔽他的宝座，将云铺在其上。
He holdeth back the face of his throne； and spreadeth his cloud upon it。
26：10在水面的周围划出界限，直到光明黑暗的交界。
He hath passed the waters with bounds； until the day and night e to an end。
26：11天的柱子，因他的斥责，震动惊奇。
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof。
26：12他以能力搅动（或作平静）大海，他藉知识打伤拉哈伯。
He divideth the sea with his power； and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud。
26：13藉他的灵使天有妆饰，他的手刺杀快蛇。
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens； his hand hath formed the crooked serpent。
26：14看哪，这不过是神工作的些微。我们所听于他的，是何等细微的声音。他大能的雷声谁能明透呢。
Lo； these are parts of his ways： but how little a portion is heard of him？ but the thunder of his power who can understand？

27：1约伯接着说，
Moreover Job continued his parable； and said；
27：2神夺去我的理，全能者使我心中愁苦。我指着永生的神起誓。
As God liveth； who hath taken away my judgment； and the Almighty； who hath vexed my soul；
27：3我的生命尚在我里面，神所赐呼吸之气，仍在我的鼻孔内。
All the while my breath is in me； and the spirit of God is in my nostrils；
27：4我的嘴决不说非义之言，我的舌也不说诡诈之语。
My lips shall not speak wickedness； nor my tongue utter deceit。
27：5我断不以你们为是，我至死必不以自己为不正。
God forbid that I should justify you： till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me。
27：6我持定我的义，必不放松。在世的日子，我心必不责备我。
My righteousness I hold fast； and will not let it go： my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live。
27：7愿我的仇敌如恶人一样。愿那起来攻击我的，如不义之人一般。
Let mine enemy be as the wicked； and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous。
27：8不敬虔的人虽然得利，神夺取其命的时候，还有什么指望呢。
For what is the hope of the hypocrite； though he hath gained； when God taketh away his soul？
27：9患难临到他，神岂能听他的呼求。
Will God hear his cry when trouble eth upon him？
27：10他岂以全能者为乐，随时求告神呢。
Will he delight himself in the Almighty？ will he always call upon God？
27：11神的作为，我要指教你们。全能者所行的，我也不隐瞒。
I will teach you by the hand of God： that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal。
27：12你们自己也都见过，为何全然变为虚妄呢。
Behold； all ye yourselves have seen it； why then are ye thus altogether vain？
27：13神为恶人所定的分，强暴人从全能者所得的报（报原文作产业）乃是这样。
This is the portion of a wicked man with God； and the heritage of oppressors； which they shall receive of the Almighty。
27：14倘或他的儿女增多，还是被刀所杀。他的子孙必不得饱食。
If his children be multiplied； it is for the sword： and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread。
27：15他所遗留的人必死而埋葬，他的寡妇也不哀哭。
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death： and his widows shall not weep。
27：16他虽积蓄银子如尘沙，预备衣服如泥土。
Though he heap up silver as the dust； and prepare raiment as the clay；
27：17他只管预备，义人却要穿上。他的银子，无辜的人要分取。
He may prepare it； but the just shall put it on； and the innocent shall divide the silver。
27：18他建造房屋如虫做窝，又如守望者所搭的棚。
He buildeth his house as a moth； and as a booth that the keeper maketh。
27：19他虽富足躺卧，却不得收殓，转眼之间就不在了。
The rich man shall lie down； but he shall not be gathered： he openeth his eyes； and he is not。
27：20惊恐如波涛将他追上。暴风在夜间将他刮去。
Terrors take hold on him as waters； a tempest stealeth him away in the night。
27：21东风把他飘去，又刮他离开本处。
The east wind carrieth him away； and he departeth： and as a storm hurleth him out of his place。
27：22神要向他射箭，并不留情。他恨不得逃脱神的手。
For God shall cast upon him； and not spare： he would fain flee out of his hand。
27：23人要向他拍掌，并要发叱声，使他离开本处。
Men shall clap their hands at him； and shall hiss him out of his place。

28：1银子有矿，炼金有方。

Iron is taken out of the earth； and brass is molten out of the stone。
28：3人为黑暗定界限，查究幽暗阴翳的石头，直到极处。
He setteth an end to darkness； and searcheth out all perfection： the stones of darkness； and the shadow of death。
28：4在无人居住之处刨开矿穴，过路的人也想不到他们。又与人远离，悬在空中摇来摇去。
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant； even the waters forgotten of the foot： they are dried up； they are gone away from men。
28：5至于地，能出粮食，地内好像被火翻起来。
As for the earth； out of it eth bread： and under it is turned up as it were fire。
28：6地中的石头有蓝宝石，并有金沙。
The stones of it are the place of sapphires： and it hath dust of gold。
28：7矿中的路鸷鸟不得知道，鹰眼也未见过。
There is a path which no fowl knoweth； and which the vulture's eye hath not seen：
28：8狂傲的野兽未曾行过。猛烈的狮子也未曾经过。
The lion's whelps have not trodden it； nor the fierce lion passed by it。

He cutteth out rivers among the rocks； and his eye seeth every precious thing。
28：11他封闭水不得滴流，使隐藏的物显露出来。
He bindeth the floods from overflowing； and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light。
28：12然而，智慧有何处可寻。聪明之处在那里呢。
But where shall wisdom be found？ and where is the place of understanding？
28：13智慧的价值无人能知，在活人之地也无处可寻。
Man knoweth not the price thereof； neither is it found in the land of the living。
28：14深渊说，不在我内。沧海说，不在我中。
The depth saith； It is not in me： and the sea saith； It is not with me。
28：15智慧非用黄金可得，也不能平白银为它的价值。
It cannot be gotten for gold； neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof。

It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir； with the precious onyx； or the sapphire。
28：17黄金，和玻璃，不足与比较。精金的器皿，不足与兑换。
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it： and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold。
28：18珊瑚，水晶都不足论。智慧的价值胜过珍珠（或作红宝石）。
No mention shall be made of coral； or of pearls： for the price of wisdom is above rubies。
28：19古实的红璧玺，不足与比较。精金，也不足与较量。
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it； neither shall it be valued with pure gold。
28：20智慧从何处来呢。聪明之处在那里呢。
Whence then eth wisdom？ and where is the place of understanding？
28：21是向一切有生命的眼目隐藏，向空中的飞鸟掩蔽。
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living； and kept close from the fowls of the air。
28：22灭没和死亡说，我们风闻其名。
Destruction and death say； We have heard the fame thereof with our ears。
28：23神明白智慧
