“我的心灵破碎，我的年日将尽，坟墓等候着我。

“我的心灵消耗，我的日子灭尽；坟墓为我预备好了。

“我的灵耗尽，我的日子消逝；坟墓为我预备好了。

“我的灵耗尽，我的日子消逝；坟墓为我预备好了。

“我的气息将断，我的日子快尽，坟墓已为我预备好了。

我的心靈消耗，我的日子滅盡；墳墓為我預備好了。

「我的靈耗盡，我的日子消逝；墳墓為我預備好了。

「我的靈耗盡，我的日子消逝；墳墓為我預備好了。

「我的心靈破碎，我的年日將盡，墳墓等候著我。

“我的氣息將斷，我的日子快盡，墳墓已為我預備好了。

我的生氣斷絕了，我的年日消盡了，所留給我的只有墳地。

我靈已衰、我日已盡、邱墓已為我備、

我神已昏、我命垂盡。將入墓矣。

我氣已衰、我命垂盡、我命垂盡或作我之日月已將無有惟有墳墓以待我、

My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me.

My strength is almost gone. I won’t live much longer. A grave is waiting for me.

“ My spirit is broken; my days are extinct; the graveyard is ready for me.

“ My spirit is crushed, and my life is nearly snuffed out. The grave is ready to receive me.

My spirit is broken. My days are extinguished. A graveyard awaits me.

“ My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.

“ My spirit is broken, My days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.

My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is ready for me.

My spirit is broken. My days are extinguished. A graveyard awaits me.

My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves[ are ready] for me.

My spirit is broken, my days have faded out, the grave awaits me.

“ My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, and the grave is ready for me.

“我以为自己盛年之际，就要踏入阴间之门，不能享受余年。我以为再也见不到耶和华，在世间再不能见到祂，也不能再见到世人。我的生命像牧人的帐篷一样被拆走，像织布机上的布匹一样被剪断。一日之间，祂使我的生命嘎然而止。我整夜哀号，好像被狮子咬断了全身的骨头。一日之间，祂使我的生命嘎然而止。“我像燕、鹤一样哀鸣，像鸽子一样呻吟；我举目望天，双眼疲倦。耶和华啊！我困苦不堪，求你保护我。

我饱经患难，生命在死亡的边缘。我被列在下坟墓的人中，我的精力耗尽。我被扔在死人中，如同被杀的人躺在坟墓里，被你遗忘，不再蒙你眷顾。

我若期望阴间作我的家园，在黑暗之地铺设我的床榻，称坟墓为父亲，称蛆虫为母亲、姊妹，

我妻子厌恶我的气息，我的手足都嫌弃我。

此后，约伯又活了一百四十年，得见四代子孙。

我不会永远指责，也不会一直发怒，以免世人——我所造的生灵昏倒。

我有何力量可以支撑下去？有何前景让我忍耐下去？
