¹約伯力言自己行義不渝約伯繼續他的講論，說：

¹Job again took up his parable, and said,

²“永活的　神奪去我的公理，全能者使我心中痛苦。

²“As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter.

³只要我的生命還在我裡面，　神賜我的氣息還在我鼻孔裡，

³(For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

⁴我的嘴唇決不說不義之言，我的舌頭也不講詭詐之語。

⁴surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

⁵我絕對不以你們為是，我到死也不放棄我的純全；

⁵Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

⁶我堅守我的義決不放鬆，我一生的日子我的心必不責備我。

⁶I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

⁷願我的敵人如惡人一般，願那起來攻擊我的像不義的人一樣。

⁷“Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

⁸不敬虔的人沒有指望不敬虔的人被剪除，　神奪去他性命的時候還有甚麼指望呢？

⁹患難臨到他身上的時候，　神會垂聽他的哀求嗎？

¹⁰他以全能者為樂，時時求告　神嗎？

¹⁰Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?

¹¹我藉　神的能力教導你們，我不向你們隱瞞全能者的事。

¹¹I will teach you about the hand of God. That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

¹²你們都親自見過，你們為甚麼成了這麼虛妄呢？

¹²Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?

¹³這是惡人從　神所得的分，強暴的人從全能者所得的業。

¹³“This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

¹⁴即使他的兒女增多，還是被刀劍所殺，他的子孫也必永不得飽食；

¹⁴If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

¹⁵他的遺族在死人中埋葬，他的寡婦也都不哀哭。

¹⁵Those who remain of him shall be buried in death. His widows shall make no lamentation.

¹⁶他雖然堆積銀子如塵沙，預備衣服如泥土，

¹⁶Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;

¹⁷他儘管預備，義人卻要穿上；他的銀子，無辜的人也要瓜分。

¹⁷he may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

¹⁸他建造房屋如蜘蛛結網，又如守望者所搭的棚。

¹⁸He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.

¹⁹他雖然躺下的時候富有，卻不再這樣；他一張開雙眼，財富就不在了。

¹⁹He lies down rich, but he shall not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

²⁰驚恐必如眾水追上他，暴風在夜間把他颳去。

²⁰Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.

²¹東風把他吹起，他就消逝；又把他捲起，離開原來的地方。

²¹The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.

²²　神射擊他，毫不留情，他甚願快快逃脫　神的手。

²²For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.

²³有人向他拍掌，發嘶聲趕他離開原來的地方。”

²³Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
