「我的心靈破碎，我的年日將盡，墳墓等候著我。

“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。

“我的心灵破碎，我的年日将尽，坟墓等候着我。

“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.

「我以為自己盛年之際，就要踏入陰間之門，不能享受餘年。我以為再也見不到耶和華，在世間再不能見到祂，也不能再見到世人。我的生命像牧人的帳篷一樣被拆走，像織布機上的布匹一樣被剪斷。一日之間，祂使我的生命嘎然而止。我整夜哀號，好像被獅子咬斷了全身的骨頭。一日之間，祂使我的生命嘎然而止。「我像燕、鶴一樣哀鳴，像鴿子一樣呻吟；我舉目望天，雙眼疲倦。耶和華啊！我困苦不堪，求你保護我。

我飽經患難，生命在死亡的邊緣。我被列在下墳墓的人中，我的精力耗盡。我被扔在死人中，如同被殺的人躺在墳墓裡，被你遺忘，不再蒙你眷顧。

我若期望陰間作我的家園，在黑暗之地鋪設我的床榻，稱墳墓為父親，稱蛆蟲為母親、姊妹，

我妻子厭惡我的氣息，我的手足都嫌棄我。

此後，約伯又活了一百四十年，得見四代子孫。

我不會永遠指責，也不會一直發怒，以免世人——我所造的生靈昏倒。

我有何力量可以支撐下去？有何前景讓我忍耐下去？
