JobChapter 29 |
|
1 MOREOVER Job continued his parable, and said, |
|
2 O that I were as in months past, as in the days when God took care of me; |
|
3 When he put his worship high upon my head, when his lamp shone over me; and when by his light I walked through darkness. |
|
4 O, that I were as in the days when I was in favor, when God abode in my tabernacle; |
|
5 When the Almighty was yet round about me in my youth; |
|
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; |
|
7 When I went out to the gate of the city and called on the people; and sat down like a poor man in the street, |
|
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves; and the aged arose, and respected me. |
|
9 The nobles held their peace, and laid their hands on their mouth. |
|
10 The voice of the princes was restrained, and their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouth. |
|
11 For when the ear heard me, then it praised me; and when the eye saw me, it gave testimony about me; |
|
12 Because I delivered the poor out of distress, and the fatherless who had none to help him. |
|
13 The blessing of him who was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow's heart to rejoice. |
|
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me like a robe and diadem of justice. |
|
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. |
|
16 I was a father to the poor; and the cause which I knew not I searched out. |
|
17 And I broke the jaws of the wicked, and snatched the prey out of his teeth. |
|
18 Then I said, I shall become straight like a reed, I shall deliver the poor and multiply my days like the sand of the seas. |
|
19 My roots are planted by the waters, and the dew lies all night upon my boughs, and at the harvest season I shall be invited to the feast. |
|
20 I shall take my bow with me, and renew it in my hand. |
|
21 Men listened to me, and waited, and hearkened to my counsel. |
|
22 And from my words they departed not, and my speech was pleasing to them. |
|
23 They waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouths wide as for the spring rain. |
|
24 If I ridiculed them, they did not take offense; and they did not turn from the light of my countenance. |
|
25 I searched out their ways, and then returned and dwelt as a king in his army, like one who comforts the mourners. |

10 首領靜默無聲，舌頭貼住上膛。 |
|
11 耳朵聽我的，就稱我有福；眼睛看我的，都給我作證 |
|
12 因我拯救哀求的困苦人、無人幫助的 |
|
13 將要滅亡的祝福臨到我 |
|
14 我以公義為衣服，以公平為外袍和冠冕。 |
|
15 我為瞎子的眼，瘸子的腳。 |
|
16 我為窮乏人的父；素不認識的人，我查明他的案件。 |
|
17 我打破惡人 |
|
18 我便說：我必死在家 |
|
19 我的根長到水邊；露水終夜霑在我的枝上。 |
|
20 我的榮耀在身上增新；我的弓在手中日強。 |
|
21 |
|
22 我說話之後，他們就不再說；我的言語像雨露滴在他們身上。 |
|
23 他們仰望我如仰望雨，又張開口如切慕春雨。 |
|
24 我若 |
|
25 我為他們選擇道路，又坐首位；我如君王在軍隊中居住，又如弔喪的安慰傷心的人。 |
