約伯的回應
9 約伯回答說：
2 「不錯，我知道你所言不虛，
但人怎能在上帝面前算為義人？
3 人若想與祂辯駁，
千次也不能勝一次。
4 祂充滿智慧，能力無比，
誰能抗拒祂還可平安無恙？
5 祂可猝然挪動群山，
在怒氣中把山翻倒。
6 祂震動大地，使其挪位，
以致地的支柱搖撼。
7 祂一聲令下，
太陽便不再升起，
眾星也不再發光。
8 祂獨自鋪展穹蒼，
步行在海浪之上。
9 祂創造了北斗星、參星、昴星及南天的星座。
10 祂行的奇事不可測度，
奇蹟不可勝數。
11 祂經過我身旁，我卻看不見；
祂從旁邊掠過，我也無法察覺。
12 祂若奪取，誰能阻擋？
誰敢問祂，『你做什麽？』
13 上帝不會忍怒不發，
海怪[a]的幫手必屈膝在祂腳前。
14 「因此，我怎敢與祂辯駁？
怎敢措辭與祂理論？
15 我縱然無辜，也無法申訴，
只能乞求我的審判者施恩。
16 即使我呼喚祂的時候，祂回應我，
我仍不相信祂會垂聽我的聲音。
17 祂用暴風摧毀我，
無故地使我飽受創傷。
18 祂不肯讓我喘息，
祂使我嚐盡苦頭。
19 若論力量，祂甚強大；
若上公堂，誰敢傳祂？
20 即使我清白無辜，我的口也會認罪；
即使我純全無過，祂也會判我有罪。
21 我雖純全無過，也已毫不在乎，
我厭惡我的生命。
22 因為，我認為都是一樣，
純全無過的人和惡人都會被祂毀滅。
23 災禍突然奪走人命時，
祂嘲笑無辜者的遭遇。
24 大地落入惡人手中，
蒙蔽審判官眼睛的不是祂是誰？
约伯记 9

约伯记 9
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約伯承認 神的智慧與能力
9 約伯回答說：
2 “我實在知道是這樣，
但是，人在 神面前怎能算為公義呢？
3 人若願意與他辯論，
連千分之一也答不出來。
4 他心裡有智慧，而且有極大的能力，
有誰對他剛硬而平安無事呢？
5 他在怒中移山翻岡；
山岡卻不知道；
6 他使大地震動離開本處，
大地的柱子就搖撼；
7 他吩咐太陽，太陽就不上升，
又封閉眾星；
8 他獨自鋪開蒼天，
步行在海浪之上；
9 他造北斗與參星，
昴星和南方的星座；
10 他所行的大事無法測度，
所行的奇事不可勝數。
11 他行過我身邊，我卻看不見；
他掠過去，我竟不覺察。
12 他奪取，誰能攔阻他？
誰敢問他：‘你幹甚麼？’
人受苦難不一定因為罪
13 神必不抑制他的怒氣，
海怪拉哈伯的助手都俯伏在他以下。
14 何況我呢？我怎敢回答他，
措辭與他辯論呢？
15 即使我有理，也不敢回答，
只向那審判我的求憐憫；
16 即使我呼求，他也回答我，
我還是不信他會垂聽我的聲音。
17 他用暴風傷害我，
無緣無故加添我的創傷。
18 他不讓我喘一口氣，
卻使我飽嘗苦楚。
19 若論力量，他多麼強大，
若論訴訟，他說：‘誰能把我傳來？’
20 即使我有理，我的口還是定我有罪；
即使我完全，我的口還是判我乖謬。
21 我雖然完全，卻不顧我自己，
倒厭惡我的生命。
22 所以我說，善惡都是一樣，
完全人和惡人，他都滅盡。
23 災禍忽然把人殺害的時候，
他就必嘲笑無辜人的遭遇。
24 全世界交在惡人的手中，
他蒙蔽世上審判官的臉，
如果不是他，那麼是誰呢？
25 我的日子過得比信差還快，
飛快逝去，不見福樂。
26 我的日子消逝有如快船，
好像俯衝猛撲食物的鷹。
27 我若說：‘我要忘記我的苦情，
要除去愁容，面露喜樂。’
28 我就懼怕我的一切痛苦，
因為我知道你必不以我為無辜。
29 我既然被定為有罪，
又何必徒然勞苦呢？
30 我若用雪水洗淨我的身，
又用鹼水潔淨我的手，
31 你還是把我扔入坑中，
連我的衣服也憎惡我。
32 他不像我是個人，
使我可以答他，讓我們一起對簿公堂。
33 我倆之間並沒有仲裁者，
能夠按手在我們雙方身上。
34 願他使他的刑杖離開我，
願他可畏的威嚴不驚嚇我，
35 我就說話，也不怕他，
因為我本身並不是這種人。”

Job
9 Then Job replied:
2 “Indeed, I know that this is true.
But how can mere mortals prove their innocence before God?(A)
3 Though they wished to dispute with him,(B)
they could not answer him one time out of a thousand.(C)
4 His wisdom(D) is profound, his power is vast.(E)
Who has resisted(F) him and come out unscathed?(G)
5 He moves mountains(H) without their knowing it
and overturns them in his anger.(I)
6 He shakes the earth(J) from its place
and makes its pillars tremble.(K)
7 He speaks to the sun and it does not shine;(L)
he seals off the light of the stars.(M)
8 He alone stretches out the heavens(N)
and treads on the waves of the sea.(O)
9 He is the Maker(P) of the Bear[a] and Orion,
the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.(Q)
10 He performs wonders(R) that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted.(S)
11 When he passes me, I cannot see him;
when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.(T)
12 If he snatches away, who can stop him?(U)
Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’(V)
13 God does not restrain his anger;(W)
even the cohorts of Rahab(X) cowered at his feet.
14 “How then can I dispute with him?
How can I find words to argue with him?(Y)
15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him;(Z)
I could only plead(AA) with my Judge(AB) for mercy.(AC)
16 Even if I summoned him and he responded,
I do not believe he would give me a hearing.(AD)
17 He would crush me(AE) with a storm(AF)
and multiply(AG) my wounds for no reason.(AH)
18 He would not let me catch my breath
but would overwhelm me with misery.(AI)
19 If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty!(AJ)
And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him[b]?(AK)
20 Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me;
if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.(AL)
21 “Although I am blameless,(AM)
I have no concern for myself;(AN)
I despise my own life.(AO)
22 It is all the same; that is why I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’(AP)
23 When a scourge(AQ) brings sudden death,
he mocks the despair of the innocent.(AR)
24 When a land falls into the hands of the wicked,(AS)
he blindfolds its judges.(AT)
If it is not he, then who is it?(AU)
25 “My days are swifter than a runner;(AV)
they fly away without a glimpse of joy.(AW)
26 They skim past(AX) like boats of papyrus,(AY)
like eagles swooping down on their prey.(AZ)
27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,(BA)
I will change my expression, and smile,’
28 I still dread(BB) all my sufferings,
for I know you will not hold me innocent.(BC)
29 Since I am already found guilty,
why should I struggle in vain?(BD)
30 Even if I washed myself with soap(BE)
and my hands(BF) with cleansing powder,(BG)
31 you would plunge me into a slime pit(BH)
so that even my clothes would detest me.(BI)
32 “He is not a mere mortal(BJ) like me that I might answer him,(BK)
that we might confront each other in court.(BL)
33 If only there were someone to mediate between us,(BM)
someone to bring us together,(BN)
34 someone to remove God’s rod from me,(BO)
so that his terror would frighten me no more.(BP)
35 Then I would speak up without fear of him,(BQ)
but as it now stands with me, I cannot.(BR)
Job 9
King James Version
Job 9
King James Version
9 Then Job answered and said,
2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

New King James Version
Job 9
New King James Version
Job: There Is No Mediator
9 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Truly I know it is so,
But how can a (A)man be (B)righteous before God?
3 If one wished to [a]contend with Him,
He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
4 (C)God is wise in heart and mighty in strength.
Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?
5 He removes the mountains, and they do not know
When He overturns them in His anger;
6 He (D)shakes the earth out of its place,
And its (E)pillars tremble;
7 He commands the sun, and it does not rise;
He seals off the stars;
8 (F)He alone spreads out the heavens,
And [b]treads on the [c]waves of the sea;
9 (G)He made [d]the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south;
10 (H)He does great things past finding out,
Yes, wonders without number.
11 (I)If He goes by me, I do not see Him;
If He moves past, I do not perceive Him;
12 (J)If He takes away, [e]who can hinder Him?
Who can say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13 God will not withdraw His anger,
(K)The allies of [f]the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.
14 “How then can I answer Him,
And choose my words to reason with Him?
15 (L)For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him;
I would beg mercy of my Judge.
16 If I called and He answered me,
I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.
17 For He crushes me with a tempest,
And multiplies my wounds (M)without cause.
18 He will not allow me to catch my breath,
But fills me with bitterness.
19 If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong;
And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?
20 Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;
Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.
21 “I am blameless, yet I do not know myself;
I despise my life.
22 It is all one thing;
Therefore I say, (N)‘He destroys the blameless and the wicked.’
23 If the scourge slays suddenly,
He laughs at the plight of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked.
He covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, who else could it be?
25 “Now (O)my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.
26 They pass by like [g]swift ships,
(P)Like an eagle swooping on its prey.
27 (Q)If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,’
28 (R)I am afraid of all my sufferings;
I know that You (S)will not hold me innocent.
29 If I am condemned,
Why then do I labor in vain?
30 (T)If I wash myself with snow water,
And cleanse my hands with [h]soap,
31 Yet You will plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes will [i]abhor me.
32 “For (U)He is not a man, as I am,
That I may answer Him,
And that we should go to court together.
33 (V)Nor is there any mediator between us,
Who may lay his hand on us both.
34 (W)Let Him take His rod away from me,
And do not let dread of Him terrify me.
35 Then I would speak and not fear Him,
But it is not so with me.
