但现在上帝使我困倦，你使所有的亲友远离我，

但现在神使我困倦，你使所有的亲友远离我，

上帝啊，你使我精疲力竭，家破人亡，

现在神使我困倦，‘你蹂躏了我的全家，

但現在神使我困倦，使親友遠離我，

但現在上帝使我困倦，你使所有的親友遠離我，

但現在神使我困倦，你使所有的親友遠離我，

上帝啊，你使我精疲力竭，家破人亡，

現在神使我困倦，‘你蹂躪了我的全家，

實在的、現在你真地使我累死，使我一切親友令我淒涼。

上帝使我困憊、俾我親朋離逖、

上帝使我躬遑遽、我家凌替、

今主使我窮乏、使我之全家敗落、

Surely, God, you have worn me out; you have devastated my entire household.

God has worn me out completely. He has destroyed my whole family.

Surely now God has worn me out; he has made desolate all my company.

“ O God, you have ground me down and devastated my family.

So I am allotted worthless months, And nights of trouble are apportioned to me.

and the Sabeans attacked and took them. They also killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”While he was still speaking, another came and said,“ The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”While he was still speaking, another came and said,“ The Chaldeans formed three units and made a raid on the camels and took them, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”While he was still speaking, another also came and said,“ Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord Or loathe His rebuke,For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, Just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

So also I will make you sick, striking you down, Making you desolate because of your sins.

When the Almighty was still with me, And my children were around me;When my steps were bathed in cream, And the rock poured out streams of oil for me!When I went out to the gate of the city, When I took my seat in the public square,The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood.The leaders stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;The voices of the prominent people were hushed, And their tongues stuck to their palates.For when an ear heard, it called me blessed, And when an eye saw, it testified in support of me,Because I saved the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.The blessing of the one who was about to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a headband.I was eyes to those who were blind, And feet to those who could not walk.I was a father to the poor, And I investigated the case which I did not know.I broke the jaws of the wicked And rescued the prey from his teeth.Then I thought,‘ I will die with my family, And I will multiply my days as the sand.My root is spread out to the waters, And dew lies on my branch all night.My glory is ever new with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.’“ To me they listened and waited, And they kept silent for my advice.After my words they did not speak again, And my speech dropped on them.They waited for me as for the rain, And opened their mouths as for the late rain.I smiled at them when they did not believe, And they did not look at my kindness ungraciously.I chose a way for them and sat as chief, And lived as a king among the troops, As one who comforted the mourners.

There the wicked cease from raging, And there the weary are at rest.

I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I flood my couch with my tears.My eye has wasted away with grief; It has grown old because of all my enemies.

The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples, So that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are only a breath.

“ I am disgusted with my own life; I will express my complaint freely; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
