You think you’re better than I am, using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.

你们果然要向我夸大，以我的羞辱为证指责我，

若你们真要向我夸大，以我的羞辱来责备我，

若你们真要向我夸大，以我的羞辱来责备我，

你们若真要妄自尊大，利用我的耻辱来指责我，

你们若真的妄自尊大攻击我，用我的羞辱来证明我的不是，

你們果然要向我誇大，以我的羞辱為證指責我，

若你們真要向我誇大，以我的羞辱來責備我，

若你們真要向我誇大，以我的羞辱來責備我，

你們若真要妄自尊大，利用我的恥辱來指責我，

你們若真的妄自尊大攻擊我，用我的羞辱來證明我的不是，

你們如果真地妄自尊大來抨擊我，以我的羞辱為證來譴責我，

爾若向我誇大、申明我恥、

顧爾妄自誇大、凌辱乎我、不知轉福為禍、圍我以網羅者、乃上帝也。

爾若欲誇大於我、則當申明我可羞之過以責我、

If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my humiliation against me,

Suppose you want to place yourselves above me. Suppose you want to use my shame to prove I’m wrong.

If indeed you magnify yourselves against me and make my disgrace an argument against me,

If you really want to appear superior to me and would use my disgrace as evidence against me,

If indeed you exalt yourselves against me And prove my disgrace to me,

If indeed you exalt yourselves against me, And plead my disgrace against me,

If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach;

If you really want to appear superior to me and would use my disgrace as evidence against me,

If indeed ye will magnify[ yourselves] against me, and plead against me my reproach:

If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and plead my disgrace against me,

If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,

May those who rejoice at my troubles be humiliated and disgraced. May those who triumph over me be covered with shame and dishonor.

I prayed,“ Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.”

It is not an enemy who taunts me— I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me— I could have hidden from them.

“ How kind the Lord is!” she exclaimed.“ He has taken away my disgrace of having no children.”

So Peninnah would taunt Hannah and make fun of her because the Lord had kept her from having children.

They will receive the wages of their pride, for they have scoffed at the people of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

They said to me,“ Things are not going well for those who returned to the province of Judah. They are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem has been torn down, and the gates have been destroyed by fire.”

“ Rabbi,” his disciples asked him,“ why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?”

In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying,“ Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”

“ Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked.“ Is that why they suffered?Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God.And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem?

“ You were born a total sinner!” they answered.“ Are you trying to teach us?” And they threw him out of the synagogue.

“ The Lord will give victory to the rest of Judah first, before Jerusalem, so that the people of Jerusalem and the royal line of David will not have greater honor than the rest of Judah.

I know you are pleased with me, for you have not let my enemies triumph over me.

Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
