但是哦，惟願上帝發表意見哦！願他開口同你辯駁。

惟愿神说话；愿他开口攻击你，

但是，惟愿上帝说话，愿他张开嘴唇攻击你。

但是，惟愿神说话，愿他张开嘴唇攻击你。

唯愿上帝发言，开口驳斥你，

但愿神说话，愿他开口跟你说话，

惟願神說話；願他開口攻擊你，

但是，惟願上帝說話，願他張開嘴唇攻擊你。

但是，惟願神說話，願他張開嘴唇攻擊你。

唯願上帝發言，開口駁斥你，

但願神說話，願他開口跟你說話，

願上帝發言、啟口以攻爾、

我願上帝與爾辯論、

惟願天主有言、向爾啟口、

Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you

I wish God would speak. I wish he’d answer you.

But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,

If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks!

But if only God would speak and open his lips against you!

But if only God would speak, And open His lips against you,

But oh, that God would speak, And open His lips against you,

But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,

But if only God would speak and declare His case against you,

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

But if only God would speak, if only he would open his lips against you,

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,

那時永恆主從旋風中回答約伯說：『這是誰，以無知的話語使我的旨意晦暗不明呀？

永恆主對約伯說了這些話以後，永恆主對提幔人以利法說：『我向你和你兩個朋友發怒；因為你們議論到我、不如我僕人約伯說的正確。

永恆主應時對約伯說：『好辯的哪可同全能者挑剔是非呢？譴責上帝的儘管回答呀。』於是約伯回答永恆主說：『啊，我輕微，能答覆你甚麼？我只好用手摀口罷了。我說了一次，再不回答；說了兩次，就不再說。』

哦，巴不得有一位肯聽我！（看哪，這是我所畫押的；願全能者答覆我！）哦，巴不得有和我爭訟者所寫的狀詞！

你看我，我在上帝面前、也同你一樣；我也是由摶泥被揑成的。啊，別讓懼怕我的心使你驚惶呀！我必不將壓力重加於你。『啊，你真地說給我聽了；你話語的聲音我聽見了：你說：「我，我純潔、無罪過；我清白，我心裏無罪愆。但你看，上帝找釁隙來攻擊我，拿我當為他的仇敵，他把我的腳上了木狗，窺察我一切的行徑。」『啊，你這話不對，我要回答你：上帝比世人大。你為甚麼和他爭論、說：「他總不回答人的話」呢？其實上帝用一種方法、乃至於兩種方法、說話，人卻不留意呢。當世人睡在床上瞇瞇沉睡時，在夢中或夜間的異象中、上帝開啓世人的耳朵，用警告驚嚇他，好叫人轉離惡行，又好割掉人的驕傲；攔阻人的性命不陷於冥坑，使他的生命不過去到陰間。

哦，巴不得我能知道哪裏可以尋見他，好到他臺前，我就可以將案件擺在他面前，滿口辯訴；我就知道他要回答我的話，我就明白他要對我說甚麼。難道他是用大權勢同我爭辯麼？不！他一定留心聽我。在他那裏、正直人可以同他辯訴；我就永蒙搭救、脫離那審判我的。

難道你真地要破壞我的權利，定我為惡，以顯自己為義麼？
