旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 23 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )
23:1	约伯回答说， Then Job answered and said,
23:2	如今我的哀告还算为悖逆。我的责罚比我的唉哼还重。 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
23:3	惟愿我能知道在那里可以寻见神，能到他的台前。 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
23:4	我就在他面前将我的案件陈明，满口辩白。 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
23:5	我必知道他回答我的言语，明白他向我所说的话。 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
23:6	他岂用大能与我争辩吗。必不这样，他必理会我。 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
23:7	在他那里，正直人可以与他辩论。这样，我必永远脱离那审判我的。 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
23:8	只是，我往前行，他不在那里，往后退，也不能见他。 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
23:9	他在左边行事，我却不能看见，在右边隐藏，我也不能见他。 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
23:10	然而他知道我所行的路。他试炼我之后，我必如精金。 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
23:11	我脚追随他的步履。我谨守他的道，并不偏离。 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
23:12	他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背弃。我看重他口中的言语，过于我需用的饮食。 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
23:13	只是他心志已定，谁能使他转意呢。他心里所愿的，就行出来。 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
23:14	他向我所定的，就必做成。这类的事他还有许多。 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
23:15	所以我在他面前惊惶，我思念这事，便惧怕他。 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
23:16	神使我丧胆，全能者使我惊惶。 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
23:17	我的恐惧，不是因为黑暗，也不是因为幽暗蒙蔽我的脸。 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
