伯27:1 约伯接着说：
伯27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
伯27:2 “ 神夺去我的理，全能者使我心中愁苦。我指着永生的 神起誓：
伯27:2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
伯27:3 （我的生命尚在我里面， 神所赐呼吸之气仍在我的鼻孔内。）
伯27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
伯27:4 我的嘴决不说非义之言；我的舌也不说诡诈之语。
伯27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
伯27:5 我断不以你们为是；我至死必不以自己为不正。
伯27:5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
伯27:6 我持定我的义，必不放松；在世的日子，我心必不责备我。
伯27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
伯27:7 愿我的仇敌如恶人一样，愿那起来攻击我的，如不义之人一般。
伯27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
伯27:8 不敬虔的人虽然得利， 神夺取其命的时候，还有什么指望呢？
伯27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
伯27:9 患难临到他， 神岂能听他的呼求？
伯27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
伯27:10 他岂以全能者为乐，随时求告 神呢？
伯27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
伯27:11 神的作为，我要指教你们；全能者所行的，我也不隐瞒。
伯27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
伯27:12 你们自己也都见过，为何全然变为虚妄呢？
伯27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
伯27:13 神为恶人所定的分，强暴人从全能者所得的报（原文作“产业”）乃是这样：
伯27:13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
伯27:14 倘或他的儿女增多，还是被刀所杀，他的子孙必不得饱食。
伯27:14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
伯27:15 他所遗留的人必死而埋葬，他的寡妇也不哀哭。
伯27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
伯27:16 他虽积蓄银子如尘沙，预备衣服如泥土，
伯27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
伯27:17 他只管预备，义人却要穿上；他的银子，无辜的人要分取。
伯27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
伯27:18 他建造房屋如虫做窝，又如守望者所搭的棚。
伯27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
伯27:19 他虽富足躺卧，却不得收殓，转眼之间就不在了。
伯27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
伯27:20 惊恐如波涛将他追上；暴风在夜间将他刮去。
伯27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
伯27:21 东风把他飘去，又刮他离开本处。
伯27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
伯27:22 神要向他射箭，并不留情。他恨不得逃脱 神的手。
伯27:22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
伯27:23 人要向他拍掌，并要发叱声，使他离开本处。
伯27:23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
