你們若說：‘惹事的根既然在他，我們要怎樣逼迫他呢？’

你们若说：我们逼迫他要何等地重呢？惹事的根乃在乎他；

你们若说：‘我们怎么逼迫他呢？事情的根源是在于他’，

你们若说：‘我们怎么逼迫他呢？事情的根源是在于他’，

你们说祸根在我身上，还想继续迫害我。

你们若说：‘惹事的根既然在他，我们要怎样逼迫他呢？’

你們若說：我們逼迫他要何等地重呢？惹事的根乃在乎他；

你們若說：『我們怎麼逼迫他呢？事情的根源是在於他』，

你們若說：『我們怎麼逼迫他呢？事情的根源是在於他』，

你們說禍根在我身上，還想繼續迫害我。

你們若說：「我們要怎樣逼迫他呢？這事的根乃在乎他呀」，

爾若謂迫之宜如何、其事之根、在我約伯、

然爾曰、我儕將何以得其致罪之由、而加詰責。

彼時、爾將曰、我逼迫之何故、維時必顯善根於我、

“ If you say,‘ How we will hound him, since the root of the trouble lies in him,’

“ You might say,‘ Let’s keep bothering Job. After all, he’s the cause of all his suffering.’

If you say,‘ How we will pursue him!’ and,‘ The root of the matter is found in him,’

“ How dare you go on persecuting me, saying,‘ It’s his own fault’?

If you say,“ How will we pursue him, since the root of the problem lies with him?”

If you say,‘ How shall we persecute him?’ And‘ What pretext for a case against him can we find?’

If you should say,‘ How shall we persecute him?’— Since the root of the matter is found in me,

If ye say, How we will persecute him! And that the root of the matter is found in me;

If you say,“ How will we pursue him, since the root of the problem lies with him?”

But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?

If you say,‘ How we will pursue him, since the root of the trouble is found in him!’

If you say,‘ How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,

你們為甚麼有如神那樣逼迫我？還不因吃我的肉感到滿足嗎？

以色列眾人要為他舉哀，把他埋葬；屬耶羅波安的人中，只有他可以入葬墳墓；因為在耶羅波安的家中，只有他向耶和華以色列的神顯出善行。

因為他們迫害你所擊打的人，嘲笑你所擊傷的人的痛苦。
