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神明白智慧的道路，晓得智慧的所在。
God understandeth the way thereof； and he knoweth the place thereof。
28：24因他鉴察直到地极，遍观普天之下。
For he looketh to the ends of the earth； and seeth under the whole heaven；
28：25要为风定轻重，又度量诸水。
To make the weight for the winds； and he weigheth the waters by measure。
28：26他为雨露定命令，为雷电定道路。
When he made a decree for the rain； and a way for the lightning of the thunder：
28：27那时他看见智慧，而且述说。他坚定，并且查究。
Then did he see it； and declare it； he prepared it； yea； and searched it out。
28：28他对人说，敬畏主就是智慧。远离恶便是聪明。
And unto man he said； Behold； the fear of the LORD； that is wisdom； and to depart from evil is understanding。

29：1约伯又接着说，
Moreover Job continued his parable； and said；
29：2惟愿我的景况如从前的月份，如神保守我的日子。
Oh that I were as in months past； as in the days when God preserved me；
29：3那时他的灯照在我头上。我藉他的光行过黑暗。
When his candle shined upon my head； and when by his light I walked through darkness；
29：4我愿如壮年的时候，那时我在帐棚中。神待我有密友之情。
As I was in the days of my youth； when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle；
29：5全能者仍与我同在。我的儿女都环绕我。
When the Almighty was yet with me； when my children were about me；
29：6奶多可洗我的脚。磐石为我出油成河。
When I washed my steps with butter； and the rock poured me out rivers of oil；
29：7我出到城门，在街上设立座位。
When I went out to the gate through the city； when I prepared my seat in the street！
29：8少年人见我而回避，老年人也起身站立。
The young men saw me； and hid themselves： and the aged arose； and stood up。
29：9王子都停止说话，用手糊口。
The princes refrained talking； and laid their hand on their mouth。
29：10首领静默无声，舌头贴住上膛。
The nobles held their peace； and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth。
29：11耳朵听我的，就称我有福。眼睛看我的，便称赞我。
When the ear heard me； then it blessed me； and when the eye saw me； it gave witness to me：
29：12因我拯救哀求的困苦人，和无人帮助的孤儿。
Because I delivered the poor that cried； and the fatherless； and him that had none to help him。
29：13将要灭亡的为我祝福。我也使寡妇心中欢乐。
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me： and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy。
29：14我以公义为衣服，以公平为外袍和冠冕。
I put on righteousness； and it clothed me： my judgment was as a robe and a diadem。
29：15我为瞎子的眼，瘸子的脚。
I was eyes to the blind； and feet was I to the lame。
29：16我为穷乏人的父，素不认识的人，我查明他的案件。
I was a father to the poor： and the cause which I knew not I searched out。
29：17我打破不义之人的牙床，从他牙齿中夺了所抢的。
And I brake the jaws of the wicked； and plucked the spoil out of his teeth。
29：18我便说，我必死在家中（原文作窝中），必增添我的日子，多如尘沙。
Then I said； I shall die in my nest； and I shall multiply my days as the sand。
29：19我的根长到水边，露水终夜沾在我的枝上。
My root was spread out by the waters； and the dew lay all night upon my branch。
29：20我的荣耀在身上增新，我的弓在手中日强。
My glory was fresh in me； and my bow was renewed in my hand。
29：21人听见我而仰望，静默等候我的指教。
Unto me men gave ear； and waited； and kept silence at my counsel。
29：22我说话之后，他们就不再说。我的言语像雨露滴在他们身上。
After my words they spake not again； and my speech dropped upon them。
29：23他们仰望我如仰望雨，又张开口如切慕春雨。
And they waited for me as for the rain； and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain。
29：24他们不敢自信，我就向他们含笑。他们不使我脸上的光改变。
If I laughed on them； they believed it not； and the light of my countenance they cast not down。
29：25我为他们选择道路，又坐首位。我如君王在军队中居住，又如吊丧的安慰伤心的人。
I chose out their way； and sat chief； and dwelt as a king in the army； as one that forteth the mourners。
旧约 约伯记（Job） 第 30 章 （ 本篇共有 42 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
30：1但如今，比我年少的人戏笑我。其人之父我曾藐视，不肯安在看守我羊群的狗中。
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision； whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock。
30：2他们壮年的气力既已衰败，其手之力与我何益呢。
Yea； whereto might the strength of their hands profit me； in whom old age was perished？
30：3他们因穷乏饥饿，身体枯瘦，在荒废凄凉的幽暗中龈乾燥之地。
For want and famine they were solitary； fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste。
30：4在草丛之中采咸草，罗腾（罗腾小树名松类）的根为他们的食物。
Who cut up mallows by the bushes； and juniper roots for their meat。
30：5他们从人中被赶出，人追喊他们如贼一般。
They were driven forth from among men； （they cried after them as after a thief；）
30：6以致他们住在荒谷之间，在地洞和岩穴中。
To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys； in caves of the earth； and in the rocks。
30：7在草丛中叫唤，在荆棘下聚集。
Among the bushes they brayed； under the nettles they were gathered together。
30：8这都是愚顽下贱人的儿女，他们被鞭打，赶出境外。
They were children of fools； yea； children of base men： they were viler than the earth。
30：9现在这些人以我为歌曲，以我为笑谈。
And now am I their song； yea； I am their byword。
30：10他们厌恶我，躲在旁边站着，不住地吐唾沫在我脸上。
They abhor me； they flee far from me； and spare not to spit in my face。
30：11松开他们的绳索苦待我，在我面前脱去辔头。
Because he hath loosed my cord； and afflicted me； they have also let loose the bridle before me。
30：12这等下流人在我右边起来，推开我的脚，筑成战路来攻击我。
Upon my right hand rise the youth； they push away my feet； and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction。
30：13这些无人帮助的，毁坏我的道，加增我的灾。
They mar my path； they set forward my calamity； they have no helper。
30：14他们来如同闯进大破口，在毁坏之间滚在我身上。
They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters： in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me。
30：15惊恐临到我，驱逐我的尊荣如风，我的福禄如云过去。
Terrors are turned upon me： they pursue my soul as the wind： and my welfare passeth away as a cloud。
30：16现在我心极其悲伤。困苦的日子将我抓住。
And now my soul is poured out upon me； the days of affliction have taken hold upon me。
30：17夜间，我里面的骨头刺我，疼痛不止，好像龈我。
My bones are pierced in me in the night season： and my sinews take no rest。
30：18因神的大力，我的外衣污秽不堪，又如里衣的领子将我缠住。
By the great force of my disease is my garment changed： it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat。
30：19神把我扔在淤泥中，我就像尘土和炉灰一般。
He hath cast me into the mire； and I am bee like dust and ashes。
30：20主阿，我呼求你，你不应允我。我站起来，你就定睛看我。
I cry unto thee； and thou dost not hear me： I stand up； and thou regardest me not。
30：21你向我变心，待我残忍，又用大能追逼我。
Thou art bee cruel to me： with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me。
30：22把我提在风中，使我驾风而行，又使我消灭在烈风中。
Thou liftest me up to the wind； thou causest me to ride upon it； and dissolvest my substance。
30：23我知道要使我临到死地，到那为众生所定的阴宅。
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death； and to the house appointed for all living。
30：24然而，人仆倒岂不伸手。遇灾难岂不求救呢。
Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave； though they cry in his destruction。
30：25人遭难，我岂不为他哭泣呢。人穷乏，我岂不为他忧愁呢。
Did not I weep for him that was in trouble？ was not my soul grieved for the poor？
30：26我仰望得好处，灾祸就到了。我等待光明，黑暗便来了。
When I looked for good； then evil came unto me： and when I waited for light； there came darkness。
30：27我心里烦扰不安，困苦的日子临到我身。
My bowels boiled； and rested not： the days of affliction prevented me。
30：28我没有日光就哀哭行去（或作我面发黑并非因日晒）。我在会中站着求救。
I went mourning without the sun： I stood up； and I cried in the congregation。
30：29我与野狗为弟兄，与鸵鸟为同伴。
I am a brother to dragons； and a panion to owls。
30：30我的皮肤黑而脱落，我的骨头因热烧焦。
My skin is black upon me； and my bones are burned with heat。
30：31所以，我的琴音变为悲音，我的箫声变为哭声。
My harp also is turned to mourning； and my organ into the voice of them that weep。
旧约 约伯记（Job） 第 31 章 （ 本篇共有 42 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
31：1我与眼睛立约，怎能恋恋瞻望处女呢。
I made a covenant with mine eyes； why then should I think upon a maid？
31：2从至上的神所得之分，从至高全能者所得之业，是什么呢。
For what portion of God is there from above？ and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high？
31：3岂不是祸患临到不义的，灾害临到作孽的呢。
Is not destruction to the wicked？ and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity？
31：4神岂不是察看我的道路，数点我的脚步呢。
Doth not he see my ways； and count all my steps？
31：5我若与虚谎同行，脚若追随诡诈。
If I have walked with vanity； or if my foot hath hasted to deceit；
31：6我若被公道的天平称度，使神可以知道我的纯正。
Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity。
31：7我的脚步若偏离正路，我的心若随着我的眼目，若有玷污粘在我手上。
If my step hath turn
