彼時、爾將曰、我逼迫之何故、維時必顯善根於我、

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：‘惹事的根既然在他，我們要怎樣逼迫他呢？’

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。

“ 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,

天主責我、爾何又加以逼迫、或作爾何為逼迫我如天主我身軀受害、爾猶以為不足乎、

以色列人眾必哀哭而葬之、屬耶羅波安者、惟此子得葬於墓、蓋在耶羅波安家、惟此一人、存善念向主以色列之天主、

因主所擊者、彼亦加逼迫、主所傷者、彼反譏誚其苦、
