Chapter 16

16:1 [hgb]  约 伯 回 答 说 ，
    [kjv]  Then Job answered and said,
    [bbe]  And Job made answer and said,
16:2 [hgb]  这 样 的 话 我 听 了 许 多 。 你 们 安 慰 人 ， 反 叫 人 愁 烦 。
    [kjv]  I have heard many such things: miserable¹ comforters are ye all.
    [bbe]  Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.
16:3 [hgb]  虚 空 的 言 语 有 穷 尽 吗 ？ 有 什 么 话 惹 动 你 回 答 呢 ？
    [kjv]  Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
    [bbe]  May words which are like the wind be stopped? or what is troubling you to make answer to them?
16:4 [hgb]  我 也 能 说 你 们 那 样 的 话 。 你 们 若 处 在 我 的 境 遇 ， 我 也 会 联 络 言 语 攻 击 你 们 ， 又 能 向 你 们 摇 头 。
    [kjv]  I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
    [bbe]  It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:
16:5 [hgb]  但 我 必 用 口 坚 固 你 们 ， 用 嘴 消 解 你 们 的 忧 愁 。
    [kjv]  But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
    [bbe]  I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.
16:6 [hgb]  我 虽 说 话 ， 忧 愁 仍 不 得 消 解 。 我 虽 停 住 不 说 ， 忧 愁 就 离 开 我 吗 ？
    [kjv]  Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
    [bbe]  If I say what is in my mind, my pain becomes no less: and if I keep quiet, how much of it goes from me?
16:7 [hgb]  但 现 在 神 使 我 困 倦 ， 使 亲 友 远 离 我 。
    [kjv]  But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate² all my company.
    [bbe]  But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.
16:8 [hgb]  又 抓 住 我 ， 作 见 证 攻 击 我 。 我 身 体 的 枯 瘦 ， 也 当 面 见 证 我 的 不 是 。
    [kjv]  And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
    [bbe]  It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.
16:9 [hgb]  主 发 怒 撕 裂 我 ， 逼 迫 我 ， 向 我 切 齿 。 我 的 敌 人 怒 目 看 我 。
    [kjv]  He teareth me in his wrath³, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
    [bbe]  I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes;
16:10 [hgb]  他 们 向 我 开 口 ， 打 我 的 脸 羞 辱 我 ， 聚 会 攻 击 我 。
    [kjv]  They have gaped⁴ upon me with their mouth; they have smitten⁵ me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
    [bbe]  Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.
16:11 [hgb]  神 把 我 交 给 不 敬 虔 的 人 ， 把 我 扔 到 恶 人 的 手 中 。
    [kjv]  God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
    [bbe]  God gives me over to the power of sinners, sending me violently into the hands of evil-doers.
16:12 [hgb]  我 素 来 安 逸 ， 他 折 断 我 ， 掐 住 我 的 颈 项 ， 把 我 摔 碎 。 又 立 我 为 他 的 箭 靶 子 。
    [kjv]  I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder⁶: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
    [bbe]  I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows.
16:13 [hgb]  他 的 弓 箭 手 四 面 围 绕 我 。 他 破 裂 我 的 肺 腑 ， 并 不 留 情 ， 把 我 的 胆 倾 倒 在 地 上 ，
    [kjv]  His archers⁷ compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins⁸ asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall⁹ upon the ground.
    [bbe]  His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.
16:14 [hgb]  将 我 破 裂 又 破 裂 ， 如 同 勇 士 向 我 直 闯 。
    [kjv]  He breaketh me with breach¹⁰ upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
    [bbe]  I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.
16:15 [hgb]  我 缝 麻 布 在 我 皮 肤 上 ， 把 我 的 角 放 在 尘 土 中 。
    [kjv]  I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled¹¹ my horn in the dust.
    [bbe]  I have made haircloth the clothing of my skin, and my horn is rolled in the dust.
16:16 [hgb]  我 的 脸 因 哭 泣 发 紫 ， 在 我 的 眼 皮 上 有 死 荫 。
    [kjv]  My face is foul¹² with weeping, and on my eyelids¹³ is the shadow of death;
    [bbe]  My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark;
16:17 [hgb]  我 的 手 中 却 无 强 暴 。 我 的 祈 祷 也 是 清 洁 。
    [kjv]  Not for any injustice¹⁴ in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
    [bbe]  Though my hands have done no violent acts, and my prayer is clean.
16:18 [hgb]  地 阿 ， 不 要 遮 盖 我 的 血 。 不 要 阻 挡 我 的 哀 求 。
    [kjv]  O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
    [bbe]  O earth, let not my blood be covered, and let my cry have no resting-place!
16:19 [hgb]  现 今 ， 在 天 有 我 的 见 证 ， 在 上 有 我 的 中 保 。
    [kjv]  Also now, behold¹⁵, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
    [bbe]  Even now my witness is in heaven, and the supporter of my cause is on high.
16:20 [hgb]  我 的 朋 友 讥 诮 我 ， 我 却 向 神 眼 泪 汪 汪 。
    [kjv]  My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
    [bbe]  My friends make sport of me; to God my eyes are weeping,
16:21 [hgb]  愿 人 得 与 神 辩 白 ， 如 同 人 与 朋 友 辩 白 一 样 。
    [kjv]  O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
    [bbe]  So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour.
16:22 [hgb]  因 为 再 过 几 年 ， 我 必 走 那 往 而 不 返 之 路 。
    [kjv]  When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
    [bbe]  For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.
