1善人与恶人的苦况
1Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2恶人挪移地界，抢夺群畜去牧养。
2Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3他们赶走孤儿的驴，强取寡妇的牛作抵押。
3They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4他们使穷人离开大道，世上的贫民都一起躲藏起来。
4They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5这些贫穷人像旷野的野驴，出外劳碌，殷勤寻觅食物，野地为他们和他们的孩子供应食物。
5Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6他们在田里收割草料，在恶人的葡萄园中摘取剩余的葡萄。
6They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7他们赤身露体无衣过夜，在寒冷中毫无遮盖。
7They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8他被山上的大雨淋湿，因为没有躲避之处就紧抱磐石。
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9有人从母亲的怀中抢走孤儿，又强取穷人的衣物作抵押，
9They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10因此穷人赤身露体流浪，他们因饥饿就抬走禾捆；
10They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11他们在那些人的行列之内榨油，又踹酒，自己仍然口渴。
11Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12有人从城里唉哼，受伤的人呼求， 神却不理会恶人的愚妄。
12Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13又有人与光为敌，不认识光明的道，不留在光明的路中。
13They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14杀人的黎明起来，杀戮困苦人与穷人，夜间又去作盗贼。
14The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15奸夫的眼睛等待黄昏，说：‘没有眼可以看见我’，就把自己的脸蒙起来。
15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16盗贼黑夜挖穿屋子，白天却躲藏起来，他们不想认识光明。
16In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17他们看晨光如死荫，因为他们认识死荫的惊骇。
17For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18这些恶人如水面上飘浮的东西迅速流逝，他们在世上所得的分被咒诅，他们不能再走葡萄园的路。
18He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19干旱与炎热怎样消除雪水，阴间也这样除去犯罪的人。
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20怀他的母胎忘记他，虫子要以他为甘甜，他不再被人记念，不义的人必如树折断。
20The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21他恶待不能生育，没有孩子的妇人，也不善待寡妇。
21He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22 神却用自己的能力延长强暴的人的性命，生命难保的仍然兴起。
22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23 神使他们安稳，他们就有所倚靠，他的眼也看顾他们的道路。
23Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24他们被高举不过片时，就没有了，他们降为卑，如众人一样被收拾起来，他们又如谷穗枯干。
24They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25如果不是这样，谁能证明我是撒谎的，指出我的言语为空虚的呢？”
25And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
