『冒昧試要跟你說話、你耐不住麼？但抑制着不說、誰能夠呢？

“人若想与你说话，你就厌烦吗？但谁能忍住不说呢？

“人想与你说话，你就厌烦吗？但谁能忍住不发言呢？

「若有人向你進言，你會厭煩嗎？可是，誰能忍住不說呢？

“人若對你說一句話，你就厭煩嗎？但誰又忍得住不說話呢？

人若試與爾言、爾厭之乎、然誰能自禁不言耶、

我欲與爾言、恐爾厭聞、然不得不言、

若敢與爾言、恐爾厭煩、然誰能含忍不語乎、

“ If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can keep from speaking?

“ Job, suppose someone tries to talk to you. Will that make you uneasy? I can’t keep from speaking up.

“ If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking?

“ Will you be patient and let me say a word? For who could keep from speaking out?

Should anyone try to speak with you when you are exhausted? Yet who can keep from speaking?

因為我充滿着話語，我裏面的靈逼着我說出。看哪、我胸懷如盛酒的囊、沒有出氣，又如皮袋盛新酒、快要破裂了。我要說話、使我舒暢舒暢；我要開口來回答。

我們所看見所聽見的、我們不能不講。』

我若說：『我不再去想起他，我不再奉他的名講論，』我心裏就像有火燒着，閉塞在我骨中；我含忍得不耐煩了，簡直不能自禁。

我因了大苦難和心裏的困苦、流許多眼淚地寫信給你們，不是要讓你們憂愁，乃是要叫你們知道我是怎樣格外地疼愛你們。但若有讓人憂愁的，他不單讓我憂愁，也讓你們眾人、至少一部分人憂愁，免得我說的太重。這樣的人受了多數人的責罰、也足夠了；

因此我充滿了永恆主的烈怒，我含忍得膩了。『我要向街上的孩童和聚在一處的青年團身上倒去了；他們連夫帶妻、年老的跟歲數滿足的必都被捉拿。

先前呢、我雖由書信而讓你們憂愁，後來就說是後悔罷，如今也不後悔了。我看那書信實在讓你們憂愁了，卻不過是暫時的。如今我歡喜，倒不是因為你們憂愁，乃是因為你們憂愁到懊悔。你們依順着上帝而憂愁，就不至於在甚麼事上因我們而有所虧損了。因為依順着上帝而有的憂愁能生出不後悔的懺悔來、以至於得救；而世俗的憂愁卻能生出死亡。
