What do you gain by oppressing me? Why do you reject me, the work of your own hands, while smiling on the schemes of the wicked?

你手所造的，你又欺压，又藐视，却光照恶人的计谋。这事你以为美吗？

难道你喜悦压迫、鄙视你造的人，却青睐恶人的计谋？

压迫无辜，又弃绝你手所作的，却喜悦恶人的计谋，你都以为美吗？

難道你喜悅壓迫、鄙視你造的人，卻青睞惡人的計謀？

壓迫無辜，又棄絕你手所作的，卻喜悅惡人的計謀，你都以為美嗎？

你施行欺壓，棄絕你手所造的，卻使惡人的計謀顯耀：這於你哪是好呢？

爾手所造、則虐待之、輕視之、惡人之謀、則焜耀之、爾豈以是為善乎、

虐遇斯民、豈爾所悅乎。爾既造人、豈遽棄之乎。惡者之謀為、爾反眷佑之乎。

主手所造、主又虐遇厭棄、反光照光照或作眷祐惡人之謀、豈主所悅乎、

Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the plans of the wicked?

Does it make you happy when you crush me? Does it please you to turn your back on what you have made? While you do those things, you smile on the plans of sinful people!

Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the designs of the wicked?

Is it good for you to oppress, to reject the work of your hands, and favor the plans of the wicked?

Is it right for You indeed to oppress, To reject the work of Your hands, And to look favorably on the plan of the wicked?

Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, And shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

You would call and I would answer, and you would yearn for me, your handiwork.

And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.

The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.

“ Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?”

“ Will you discredit my justice and condemn me just to prove you are right?

Innocent or wicked, it is all the same to God. That’s why I say,‘ He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

“ But look, God will not reject a person of integrity, nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.

For he says to kings,‘ You are wicked,’ and to nobles,‘ You are unjust.’He doesn’t care how great a person may be, and he pays no more attention to the rich than to the poor. He made them all.

For Job also said,‘ I am innocent, but God has taken away my rights.I am innocent, but they call me a liar. My suffering is incurable, though I have not sinned.’“ Tell me, has there ever been a man like Job, with his thirst for irreverent talk?

He has led me into darkness, shutting out all light.He has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.He has made my skin and flesh grow old. He has broken my bones.He has besieged and surrounded me with anguish and distress.He has buried me in a dark place, like those long dead.He has walled me in, and I cannot escape. He has bound me in heavy chains.And though I cry and shout, he has shut out my prayers.He has blocked my way with a high stone wall; he has made my road crooked.He has hidden like a bear or a lion, waiting to attack me.He has dragged me off the path and torn me in pieces, leaving me helpless and devastated.He has drawn his bow and made me the target for his arrows.He shot his arrows deep into my heart.My own people laugh at me. All day long they sing their mocking songs.He has filled me with bitterness and given me a bitter cup of sorrow to drink.He has made me chew on gravel. He has rolled me in the dust.Peace has been stripped away, and I have forgotten what prosperity is.I cry out,“ My splendor is gone! Everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost!”

Lord, you always give me justice when I bring a case before you. So let me bring you this complaint: Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why are evil people so happy?You have planted them, and they have taken root and prospered. Your name is on their lips, but you are far from their hearts.But as for me, Lord, you know my heart. You see me and test my thoughts. Drag these people away like sheep to be butchered! Set them aside to be slaughtered!

( They think their prosperity is of their own doing, but I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.)

So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.

But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged. Don’t worry, judgment and justice will be upheld.But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth. Don’t let yourself be bribed into sin.

The whole earth is in the hands of the wicked, and God blinds the eyes of the judges. If he’s not the one who does it, who is?

For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.

He never takes his eyes off the innocent, but he sets them on thrones with kings and exalts them forever.If they are bound in chains and caught up in a web of trouble,he shows them the reason. He shows them their sins of pride.

Yet he was the one who filled their homes with good things, so I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.
