約伯記

第2章

1 一日、衆天使至耶和華前、撒但亦在其中。

2 耶和華謂撒但曰、汝奚自。對曰、余遍歷塵寰、往來靡定。

3 耶和華曰、我僕約百品行純良、孳孳爲義、寅畏乎我、遠諸不善、天下莫與比儗、汝亦鑿之乎。因爾所言、我無故降災、彼亦不失其本心。

4 撒但曰、害未及身、猶可忍也、害及其身、不可忍也。

5 若傷其肢體、彼必立詛爾。

6 耶和華曰、任爾爲之、勿喪其命。

7 撒但退、使約百患瘡痍、自頂至踵。

8 約百坐於灰、以片瓦搔身。

9 其妻曰、爾猶不變所守乎、不如詛上帝而死可也。

10 曰、爾所言、乃頑嚚之婦也。我自上帝而獲福祉、茲之受禍不亦宜乎。約百不以言取罪、又如此。

11 約百有友三人、提幔人以利法、書亞人必達、拿馬人鎖法、聞約百遭難、彼此相約、各自其地至、欲解其憂、慰其心、

12 遙見約百而不識、大聲號泣、各裂衣、揚灰、蒙首、

13 歷七晝夜、同坐於地、見約百憂甚、相對無言。

Job

Chapter 2

1 Again there was a day3117 when the sons1121 of God430 came935 to present3320 themselves before5921 the LORD,3068 and Satan7854 came935 also1571 among8432 them to present3320 himself before5921 the LORD.3068

2 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 From where335 2088 come935 you? And Satan7854 answered6030 the LORD,3068 and said,559 From going7751 to and fro7751 in the earth,776 and from walking1980 up and down in it.

3 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 Have you considered3820 my servant5650 Job,347 that there is none369 like3644 him in the earth,776 a perfect8535 and an upright3477 man,376 one that fears3373 God,430 and eschews5493 evil?7451 and still5750 he holds2388 fast his integrity,8538 although you moved5496 me against him, to destroy1104 him without2600 cause.2600

4 And Satan7854 answered6030 the LORD,3068 and said,559 Skin5785 for skin,5785 yes, all3605 that a man376 has will he give5414 for his life.5315

5 But put7971 forth7971 your hand3027 now,4994 and touch5060 his bone6106 and his flesh,1320 and he will curse1288 you to your face.6440

6 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 Behold,2009 he is in your hand;3027 but save8104 his life.5315

7 So went3318 Satan7854 forth3318 from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 and smote5221 Job347 with sore7451 boils7822 from the sole3709 of his foot7272 to his crown.6936

8 And he took3947 him a potsherd2789 to scrape1623 himself with; and he sat3427 down among8432 the ashes.665

9 Then said559 his wife802 to him, Do you still5750 retain2388 your integrity?8538 curse1288 God,430 and die.4191

10 But he said559 to her, You speak1696 as one259 of the foolish5039 women speaks.1696 What?1571 shall we receive6901 good2896 at the hand854 of God,430 and shall we not receive6901 evil?7451 In all3605 this2063 did not Job347 sin2398 with his lips.8193

11 Now when Job's347 three7969 friends7453 heard8085 of all3605 this2063 evil7451 that was come935 on him, they came935 every376 one376 from his own place;4725 Eliphaz464 the Temanite,8489 and Bildad1085 the Shuhite,7747 and Zophar6691 the Naamathite:5284 for they had made an appointment3259 together3162 to come935 to mourn5110 with him and to comfort5162 him.

12 And when they lifted5375 up their eyes5869 afar7350 off, and knew5234 him not, they lifted5375 up their voice,6963 and wept;1058 and they rent7167 every376 one376 his mantle,4598 and sprinkled2236 dust6083 on their heads7218 toward heaven.8064

13 So they sat3427 down with him on the ground776 seven7651 days3117 and seven7651 nights,3915 and none369 spoke1696 a word1697 to him: for they saw7200 that his grief3511 was very3966 great.1431
