Job

耶和华回答约伯

1那时，耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说：

2谁用无知的言语使我的旨意暗昧不明？

3你要如勇士束腰； 我问你，你可以指示我。

4我立大地根基的时候，你在哪里呢？ 你若有聪明，只管说吧！

5你若晓得就说，是谁定地的尺度？ 是谁把准绳拉在其上？

6地的根基安置在何处？ 地的角石是谁安放的？

7那时，晨星一同歌唱； 神的众子也都欢呼。

8海水冲出，如出胎胞， 那时谁将它关闭呢？

9是我用云彩当海的衣服， 用幽暗当包裹它的布，

10为它定界限， 又安门和闩，

11说：你只可到这里，不可越过； 你狂傲的浪要到此止住。

12你自生以来，曾命定晨光， 使清晨的日光知道本位，

13叫这光普照地的四极， 将恶人从其中驱逐出来吗？

14因这光，地面改变如泥上印印， 万物出现如衣服一样。

15亮光不照恶人； 强横的膀臂也必折断。

16你曾进到海源， 或在深渊的隐密处行走吗？

17死亡的门曾向你显露吗？ 死荫的门你曾见过吗？

18地的广大你能明透吗？ 你若全知道，只管说吧！

19光明的居所从何而至？ 黑暗的本位在于何处？

20你能带到本境， 能看明其室之路吗？

21你总知道， 因为你早已生在世上， 你日子的数目也多。

22你曾进入雪库， 或见过雹仓吗？

23这雪雹乃是我为降灾， 并打仗和争战的日子所预备的。

24光亮从何路分开？ 东风从何路分散遍地？

25谁为雨水分道？ 谁为雷电开路？

26使雨降在无人之地、 无人居住的旷野？

27使荒废凄凉之地得以丰足， 青草得以发生？

28雨有父吗？ 露水珠是谁生的呢？

29冰出于谁的胎？ 天上的霜是谁生的呢？

30诸水坚硬如石头； 深渊之面凝结成冰。

31你能系住昴星的结吗？ 能解开参星的带吗？

32你能按时领出十二宫吗？ 能引导北斗和随它的众星吗？

33你知道天的定例吗？ 能使地归在天的权下吗？

34你能向云彩扬起声来， 使倾盆的雨遮盖你吗？

35你能发出闪电，叫它行去， 使它对你说：我们在这里？

36谁将智慧放在怀中？ 谁将聪明赐于心内？

37谁能用智慧数算云彩呢？ 尘土聚集成团，土块紧紧结连； 那时，谁能倾倒天上的瓶呢？

39母狮子在洞中蹲伏， 少壮狮子在隐密处埋伏； 你能为它们抓取食物， 使它们饱足吗？

41乌鸦之雏因无食物飞来飞去，哀告 神； 那时，谁为它预备食物呢？

1Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said:

2Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words?

3Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me.

4Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding.

5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6Upon what are its bases grounded? or who laid the corner stone thereof,

7When the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful melody?

8Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb:

9When I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands?

10I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors:

11And I said: Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.

12Didst thou since thy birth command the morning, and shew the dawning of the day its place?

13And didst thou hold the extremities of the earth shaking them, and hast thou shaken the ungodly out of it?

14The seal shall be restored as clay, and shall stand as a garment:

15From the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the high arm shall be broken.

16Hast thou entered into the depths of the sea, and walked in the lowest parts of the deep?

17Have the gates of death been opened to thee, and hast thou seen the darksome doors?

18Hast thou considered the breadth of the earth? tell me, if thou knowest all things?

19Where is the way where light dwelleth, and where is the place of darkness:

20That thou mayst bring every thing to its own bounds, and understand the paths of the house thereof.

21Didst thou know then that thou shouldst be born? and didst thou know the number of thy days?

22Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, or has thou beheld the treasures of the hail:

23Which I have prepared for the time of the enemy, against the day of battle and war?

24By what way is the light spread, and heat divided upon the earth?

25Who gave a course to violent showers, or a way for noisy thunder:

26That it should rain on the earth without man in the wilderness, where no mortal dwelleth:

27That it should fill the desert and desolate land, and should bring forth green grass?

28Who is the father of rain? or who begot the drops of dew?

29Out of whose womb came the ice; and the frost from heaven who hath gendered it?

30The waters are hardened like a stone, and the surface of the deep is congealed.

31Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?

32Canst thou bring forth the day star in its time, and make the evening star to rise upon the children of the earth?

33Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou set down the reason thereof on the earth?

34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that an abundance of waters may cover thee?

35Canst thou send lightnings, and will they go, and will they return and say to thee: Here we are?

36Who hath put wisdom in the heart of man? or who gave the cock understanding?

37Who can declare the order of the heavens, or who can make the harmony of heaven to sleep?

38When was the dust poured on the earth, and the clods fastened together?

39Wilt thou take the prey for the lioness, and satisfy the appetite of her whelps,

40When they couch in the dens and lie in wait in holes?

41Who provideth food for the raven, when her young ones cry to God, wandering about, because they have no meat?
