| 36:1 | 以利户又接着说、 | Elihu also proceeded, and said, |
| 36:2 | 你再容我片时、我就指示你.因我还有话为 神说。 | Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. |
| 36:3 | 我要将所知道的从远处引来、将公义归给造我的主。 | I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. |
| 36:4 | 我的言语真不虚谎.有知识全备的与你同在。 | For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. |
| 36:5 | 神有大能、并不藐视人.他的智慧甚广。 | Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. |
| 36:6 | 他不保护恶人的性命、却为困苦人伸冤。 | He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. |
| 36:7 | 他时常看顾义人、使他们和君王同坐宝座、永远要被高举。 | He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. |
| 36:8 | 他们若被锁炼捆住、被苦难的绳索缠住. | And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; |
| 36:9 | 他就把他们的作为、和过犯指示他们、叫他们知道有骄傲的行动。 | Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. |
| 36:10 | 他也开通他们的耳朵得受教训、吩咐他们离开罪孽转回。 | He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. |
| 36:11 | 他们若听从事奉他、就必度日亨通、历年福乐。 | If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. |
| 36:12 | 若不听从、就要被刀杀灭、无知无识而死。 | But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. |
| 36:13 | 那心中不敬虔的人、积蓄怒气. 神捆绑他们、他们竟不求救. | But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. |
| 36:14 | 必在青年时死亡、与污秽人一样丧命。 | They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. |
| 36:15 | 神藉着困苦、救拔困苦人、趁他们受欺压、开通他们的耳朵。 | He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. |
| 36:16 | 神也必引你出离患难、进入宽阔不狭窄之地.摆在你席上的、必满有肥甘。 | Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. |
| 36:17 | 但你满口有恶人批评的言语.判断和刑罚抓住你。 | But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. |
| 36:18 | 不可容忿怒触动你、使你不服责罚.也不可因赎价大就偏行。 | Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. |
| 36:19 | 你的呼求、〔呼求或作资财〕或是你一切的势力、果有灵验、叫你不受患难么。 | Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. |
| 36:20 | 不要切慕黑夜、就是众民在本处被除灭的时候。 | Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. |
| 36:21 | 你要谨慎、不可重看罪孽、因你选择罪孽、过于选择苦难。 | Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. |
| 36:22 | 神行事有高大的能力.教训人的、有谁像他呢。 | Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? |
| 36:23 | 谁派定他的道路.谁能说、你所行的不义。 | Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? |
| 36:24 | 你不可忘记称赞他所行的为大、就是人所歌颂的。 | Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. |
| 36:25 | 他所行的万人都看见、世人也从远处观看。 | Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. |
| 36:26 | 神为大、我们不能全知.他的年数不能测度。 | Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. |
| 36:27 | 他吸取水点、这水点从云雾中就变成雨. | For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: |
| 36:28 | 云彩将雨落下、沛然降与世人。 | Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. |
| 36:29 | 谁能明白云彩如何铺张、和 神行宫的雷声呢。 | Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? |
| 36:30 | 他将亮光普照在自己的四围.他又遮覆海底。 | Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. |
| 36:31 | 他用这些审判众民、且赐丰富的粮食。 | For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. |
| 36:32 | 他以电光遮手、命闪电击中敌人。〔或作中了靶子〕 | With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. |
| 36:33 | 所发的雷声显明他的作为、又向牲畜指明要起暴风。 | The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. |
