但现在神使我困倦，使亲友远离我，

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.

Surely he has now exhausted me. You have devastated my entire family.

But now He has exhausted me; You have laid waste all my group of loved ones.

But now He has worn me out; You have made desolate all my company.

But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.

Surely He has now exhausted me. You have devastated my entire family.

But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.

thus I have been made to inherit months of futility, and nights of sorrow have been appointed to me.

and the Sabeans swooped down and carried them all away, and they killed the servants with the sword! And I– only I alone– escaped to tell you!”While this one was still speaking, another messenger arrived and said,“ The fire of God has fallen from heaven and has burned up the sheep and the servants– it has consumed them! And I– only I alone– escaped to tell you!”While this one was still speaking another messenger arrived and said,“ The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and carried them all away, and they killed the servants with the sword! And I– only I alone– escaped to tell you!”While this one was still speaking another messenger arrived and said,“ Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,and suddenly a great wind swept across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they died! And I– only I alone– escaped to tell you!”

My child, do not despise discipline from the LORD, and do not loathe his rebuke.For the LORD disciplines those he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

I will strike you brutally and destroy you because of your sin.

when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me;when my steps were bathed with butter and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil!When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,the young men would see me and step aside, and the old men would get up and remain standing;the chief men refrained from talking and covered their mouths with their hands;the voices of the nobles fell silent, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.“ As soon as the ear heard these things, it blessed me, and when the eye saw them, it bore witness to me,for I rescued the poor who cried out for help, and the orphan who had no one to assist him;the blessing of the dying man descended on me, and I made the widow’s heart rejoice;I put on righteousness and it clothed me, my just dealing was like a robe and a turban;I was eyes for the blind and feet for the lame;I was a father to the needy, and I investigated the case of the person I did not know;I broke the fangs of the wicked, and made him drop his prey from his teeth.“ Then I thought,‘ I will die in my own home, my days as numerous as the grains of sand.My roots reach the water, and the dew lies on my branches all night long.My glory will always be fresh in me, and my bow ever new in my hand.’“ People listened to me and waited silently; they kept silent for my advice.After I had spoken, they did not respond; my words fell on them drop by drop.They waited for me as people wait for the rain, and they opened their mouths as for the spring rains.If I smiled at them, they hardly believed it; and they did not cause the light of my face to darken.I chose the way for them and sat as their chief; I lived like a king among his troops; I was like one who comforts mourners.

There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.

I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me.My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies.

The sovereign LORD has given me the capacity to be his spokesman, so that I know how to help the weary. He wakes me up every morning; he makes me alert so I can listen attentively as disciples do.

I loathe it; I do not want to live forever; leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!

“ I am weary of my life; I will complain without restraint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
