「我的靈耗盡，我的日子消逝；墳墓為我預備好了。

“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.

我說，在如日中天的時候我就走了，將剩餘的年歲交給陰間的門。我說，我必不得見耶和華，不得在活人之地見耶和華，也不再看見世人，就是短暫世界中的居民。我的住處好像牧人的帳棚，遭人掀起，離我而去；我將性命捲起，像織布的捲布一樣。他從織布機頭那裏將我剪斷，你使我命喪於旦夕。我令自己安靜直到天亮；他像獅子折斷我所有的骨頭，你使我命喪於旦夕。我像燕子呢喃，像白鶴鳴叫，又如鴿子哀鳴；我因仰望，眼睛困倦。主啊，我受欺壓，求你為我作保。

因為我心裏滿了患難，我的性命臨近陰間；我與下到地府的人同列，如同無人幫助的人一樣。我被丟在死人中，好像被殺的人躺在墳墓裏，不再被你記得，與你的手隔絕了。

我若盼望陰間為我的家，若下榻在黑暗中，若對地府呼叫：『你是我的父親』，若對蟲呼叫：『你是我的母親、姊妹』，

我口的氣味令我妻子厭惡，我的同胞都憎惡我。

此後，約伯又活了一百四十年，得見他的四代兒孫。

我必不長久控訴，也不永遠懷怒，因為我雖使靈性發昏，我也造了人的氣息。

我有甚麼氣力使我等候？我有甚麼結局使我忍耐？
