1	約伯接著說：
			Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
		2	神奪去我的理，全能者使我心中愁苦。我指著永生的神起誓：
			As God liveth, hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, hath vexed my soul;
		3	我的生命尚在我裡面；神所賜呼吸之氣仍在我的鼻孔內。
			All the while my breath in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils;
		4	我的嘴決不說非義之言；我的舌也不說詭詐之語。
			My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
		5	我斷不以你們為是；我至死必不以自己為不正！
			God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
		6	我持定我的義，必不放鬆；在世的日子，我心必不責備我。
			My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach so long as I live.
		7	願我的仇敵如惡人一樣；願那起來攻擊我的，如不義之人一般。
			Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
		8	不敬虔的人雖然得利，神奪取其命的時候還有什麼指望呢？
			For what the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
		9	患難臨到他，神豈能聽他的呼求？
			Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
		10	他豈以全能者為樂，隨時求告神呢？
			Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
		11	神的作為，我要指教你們；全能者所行的，我也不隱瞞。
			I will teach you by the hand of God: which with the Almighty will I not conceal.
		12	你們自己也都見過，為何全然變為虛妄呢？
			Behold, all ye yourselves have seen ; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
		13	神為惡人所定的分，強暴人從全能者所得的報（原文作產業）乃是這樣：
			This the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, they shall receive of the Almighty.
		14	倘或他的兒女增多，還是被刀所殺；他的子孫必不得飽食。
			If his children be multiplied, for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
		15	他所遺留的人必死而埋葬；他的寡婦也不哀哭。
			Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
		16	他雖積蓄銀子如塵沙，預備衣服如泥土；
			Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
		17	他只管預備，義人卻要穿上；他的銀子，無辜的人要分取。
			He may prepare , but the just shall put on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
		18	他建造房屋如蟲做窩，又如守望者所搭的棚。
			He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth the keeper maketh.
		19	他雖富足躺臥，卻不得收殮，轉眼之間就不在了。
			The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he not.
		20	驚恐如波濤將他追上；暴風在夜間將他颳去。
			Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
		21	東風把他飄去，又颳他離開本處。
			The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
		22	神要向他射箭，並不留情；他恨不得逃脫神的手。
			For shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
		23	人要向他拍掌，並要發叱聲，使他離開本處。
			Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
