¹约伯讥笑比勒达

¹But Job answered and said,

²“无能力的，你怎样帮助他，膀臂无力的，你怎样拯救他！

²How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

³无智慧的，你怎样教导他，显明你丰盛的智慧！

³How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

⁴你靠谁发言呢？谁的灵从你而出呢？

⁴To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

⁵称赞　神伟大的作为阴魂和在水中居住的，都在水下痛苦不堪。

⁵Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

⁶阴间在　神面前赤露敞开，灭亡之处也没有遮盖。

⁶Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

⁷他把北极铺在空间，把地球挂在太空。

⁷He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁸他把水包在密云中，水下面的云却不破裂。

⁸He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

⁹他遮蔽自己宝座的正面，把云铺在上面。

⁹He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

¹⁰在水面划出界限，直到光与暗的交界。

¹⁰He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

¹¹天的柱子都因他的斥责震动惊奇；

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

¹²他以能力搅动大海，以聪明击伤拉哈伯。

¹²He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

¹³他以自己的气使天晴朗，他的手刺穿逃跑的蛇。

¹³By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

¹⁴这些不过是他的作为的一点点，我们从他那里所听到的，是多么的微小！他大能的雷声谁能够明白呢？”

¹⁴Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
