誰給他派定他所行的路呢？誰能說：「你所行的不對』呢？

谁派定他的道路？谁能说：‘你所行的不义’？

谁派定他的道路呢？谁能说：‘你行了不义’？

谁派定他的道路呢？谁能说：‘你行了不义’？

谁能为祂指定道路？谁能说祂行事不义？

谁把他所行的道路派给他？谁能说：‘你所行的不义’呢？

誰派定他的道路？誰能說：你所行的不義？

誰派定他的道路呢？誰能說：『你行了不義』？

誰派定他的道路呢？誰能說：『你行了不義』？

誰能為祂指定道路？誰能說祂行事不義？

誰把他所行的道路派給他？誰能說：‘你所行的不義’呢？

誰定其道、孰能謂之曰、爾所行非義、

獨斷獨行、誰能議之哉。

孰能示其當行之道、孰能對之曰、主所行不義、

Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him,‘ You have done wrong’?

Who has told him what he can do? Who has said to him,‘ You have done what is wrong’?

Who has prescribed for him his way, or who can say,‘ You have done wrong’?

No one can tell him what to do, or say to him,‘ You have done wrong.’

Who has appointed his way for him, and who has declared,“ You have done wrong”?

Who has appointed Him His way, And who has said,‘ You have done wrong’?

Who has assigned Him His way, Or who has said,‘ You have done wrong’?

Who hath enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?

Who has appointed His way for Him, and who has declared,“ You have done wrong”?

Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

Who has prescribed his ways for him? Or said to him,‘ You have done what is wicked’?

誰知道了主的心思、好教導他呢？我們呢、卻有基督的心思。

上帝哪能顛倒是非？全能者哪能屈枉正直呢？

誰曾指揮永恆主的靈，或做過他的謀士去指教他呢？他跟誰商議，而誰給他明達；誰將對的路徑教導他，誰教訓他知識，將明哲之道路指教他呢？

在基督裏、照那按自己旨意之計畫運行萬事者的定旨所豫定的、我們也被分派、做成了上帝的業分，

『誰知道主的心思？誰做過他的參謀呢？

然而你竟依順你的剛愎和不悔改的心、為自己積聚着上帝的義怒、於上帝義怒的日子，就是上帝公義的刑罰顯示出來的日子；

『所以你們心裏明理的人要聽我；上帝決不至於行惡，全能者斷不至於不義。

但是我們的不義倘若證明上帝的義來，那要怎麼講呢？難道說上帝顯義怒是不義麼？（我且照人的講法說話吧）。

誰將地派給他管？誰把全世界交代他呢？他若將生氣收回於自己，將氣息收拾歸自己，血肉之人就都一概氣絕，人就仍歸塵土。『你若明理，就請聽這話；請側耳聽我話語的聲音。難道恨惡公平的、真地可以執政麼？那有公義有大能的，你要斷定他為惡麼？他對君王說：「你無賴！」對貴族說：「你邪惡！」他不徇王子的情面，也不重富人而輕貧寒；因為二者都是他手所造的。一眨眼他們就死亡、於半夜中；平民被震撼而過去；有權勢的被除滅、非借人手。『因為上帝的眼監視人所行的路，他看明人的腳步。沒有黑暗沒有漆黑能給作孽之人藏身。因為上帝不必給人定日期，讓人到他面前去受審。他不必偵察、就可打破有勢力的人，設立別人去代替他們。所以他洞澈他們的行為，一夜之間就傾覆他們，使被壓滅。他在萬目睽睽之地批擊他們、以代替批擊惡人；因為他們偏離了他，不留心於他的道路；致使貧寒人的哀叫達到於他；困苦人的哀叫他聽見了。他若靜止不動，誰能嫌他不對呢？他若掩面，誰能見他呢？無論對國對人都是一樣；好使不拜上帝的人不得作王，免得有人牢籠人民。『有誰對上帝說過：「我擔受了責罰，我不再有敗壞的行為了。我所看不明的、求你指教我；我若作了孽，我必不再作」。是不是他不隨你心意施報應，你就拒絕、不承認所施行的呢？當抉擇的是你，不是我；你所知道的、你只管說吧。

難道你真地要破壞我的權利，定我為惡，以顯自己為義麼？

這樣，我們怎麼說呢？難道在上帝還有不公平麼？斷乎沒有。
