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

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』，

“ 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 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,

Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?

For they persecute the one you struck and talk about the pain of those you wounded.
