1、约伯记经典语句约伯记经典语句著者约伯。著时按照约伯游牧的生活方式(一3),以及他为儿女献燔祭的方式,本书似乎写于亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的时期(一5,创二二13,三一54),约在主前二千年,即摩西写五经以前五百年。著地乌斯地(一1),此乃与以东有关联之地区(哀四21),位于亚拉伯旷野西边。涵盖时段本书涵盖时段无法准确断定;然而,约伯受试炼后又活了一百四十年(四二16),因此本书涵盖将近二百年,在主前二千年左右。一第一回的辩论(4:1-21)提幔人以利法回答说:人若想与你说话,你就厌烦吗?但谁能忍住不说呢?你素来教导许多的人,又坚固软弱的手。你的言语曾扶助那将要跌倒的人;你又使软弱的膝稳固。但现在祸
2、患临到你,你就昏迷,挨近你,你便惊惶。你的倚靠不是在你敬畏神吗?你的盼望不是在你行事纯正吗?请你追想:无辜的人有谁灭亡?正直的人在何处剪除?按我所见,耕罪孽、种毒害的人都照样收割。神一出气,他们就灭亡;神一发怒,他们就消没。狮子的吼叫和猛狮的声音尽都止息;少壮狮子的牙齿也都敲掉。老狮子因绝食而死;母狮之子也都离散。我暗暗地得了默示;我耳朵也听其细微的声音。在思念夜中、异象之间,世人沉睡的时候,恐惧、战兢临到我身,使我百骨打战。有灵从我面前经过,我身上的毫毛直立。那灵停住,我却不能辨其形状;有影像在我眼前。我在静默中听见有声音说:必死的人岂能比神公义吗?人岂能比造他的主洁净吗?主不信靠他的臣仆,
3、并且指他的使者为愚昧;何况那住在土房、根基在尘土里、被蠹虫所毁坏的人呢?早晚之间,就被毁灭,永归无有,无人理会。他帐棚的绳索岂不从中抽出来呢?他死,且是无智慧而死。提幔人以利法曰、人若试与尔言、尔厌之乎、然谁能自禁不言耶、昔尔训众、手弱者坚之、将踬者以言持之、膝弱者健之、今也灾难临尔、而尔迷惘、迫尔、而尔惊惶、尔之所恃、非在寅畏乎、尔之所望、非在正行乎、试思无辜者伊谁沦没、端正者何处见绝、以我观之、耕恶种孽、所获如之、上帝吹嘘、彼则丧亡、上帝震怒、彼则消灭、狮之吼、与猛狮之声俱息、稚狮之齿见折、老狮绝食而死、牝狮之子离散、我窃得一事、我耳微闻其声、乃于夜间人酣睡时、出于幻想之意、惊骇战栗临我、
4、百骨悚动、神过我前、毛发森竖、彼立、不辨其状、第见有象、在于目前、静默之中、我闻有声云、必死之人、岂义于上帝乎、世人岂洁于造之者乎、即其臣仆、犹不足恃、即其使者、尚责其愚、况居土舍、基尘埃、为蠹所败者乎、旦夕之间、即见毁灭、永归乌有、无人介意、其中幕索、非见夺乎、未得智慧、而陨亡焉、Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking? to.: Heb. a wo

11、egarding it . destroyed: Heb. beaten in piecesDoth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.二约伯的回答(5:6-27)祸患原不是从土中出来;患难也不是从地里发生。人生在世必遇患难,如同火星飞腾。至于我,我必仰望神,把我的事情托付他。他行大事不可测度,行奇事不可胜数:降雨在地上,赐水于田里;将卑微的安置在高处,将哀痛的举到稳妥之地;破坏狡猾人的计谋,使他们所谋的不得成就。他叫有智慧的中了自己的诡计,使狡诈人的计谋速速灭亡。他们白昼遇
12、见黑暗,午间摸索如在夜间。神拯救穷乏人脱离他们口中的刀和强暴人的手。这样,贫寒的人有指望,罪孽之辈必塞口无言。神所惩治的人是有福的!所以你不可轻看全能者的管教。因为他打破,又缠裹;他击伤,用手医治。你六次遭难,他必救你;就是七次,灾祸也无法害你。在饥荒中,他必救你脱离死亡;在争战中,他必救你脱离刀剑的权力。你必被隐藏,不受口舌之害;灾殃临到,你也不惧怕。你遇见灾害饥馑,就必嬉笑;地上的野兽,你也不惧怕。因为你必与田间的石头立约;田里的野兽也必与你和好。你必知道你帐棚平安,要查看你的羊圈,一无所失;也必知道你的后裔将来发达,你的子孙像地上的青草。你必寿高年迈才归坟墓,好像禾捆到时收藏。这理,我们
13、已经考察,本是如此。你须要听,要知道是与自己有益。祸非自土而生、灾非自地而发、人生遇难、如火星之飞扬、若我、则必仰望上帝、以事托之、彼行大事不可测、行奇事不胜数、降雨于土壤、赐水于田畴、卑者置之于高处、忧者举之于宁域、败狡者之计、俾其所谋不得成、令智者自中其诡计、使谲者之谋早败、若辈昼遇晦冥、午间扪搎、有如昏夜、惟上帝脱贫人于口中刀、援之于强者手、如是、穷乏者有望、不义者缄口、上帝所惩者有福、故全能者之谴责、尔勿轻视、盖彼破之、而复裹之、伤之、而手医之、尔遇六灾、彼必救之、即遭七难、祸不及身、饥时拯尔于死亡、战时脱尔于锋刃、口舌之害、尔得避匿、灾祸临时、尔无畏惧、遭毁灭饥馑而反笑、遇野兽亦无恐
