Job 19章 ESV | 微讀聖經

Job Replies: My Redeemer Lives

1Then Job answered and said:

2“How long will you torment me

and break me in pieces with words?

3These 19:3 Gen. 31:7ten times you have cast reproach upon me;

are you not ashamed to wrong me?

4And even if it be true that I have erred,

my error remains with myself.

5If indeed you 19:5 Ps. 35:26; 38:16; 55:12magnify yourselves against me

and make my disgrace an argument against me,

6know then that God has 19:6 [ch. 8:3; 34:12; Lam. 3:36]put me in the wrong

and closed his net about me.

7Behold, I 19:7 ch. 24:12; Hab. 1:2; [Lam. 3:8]cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered;

I call for help, but there is no justice.

8He has 19:8 Lam. 3:7, 9; Hos. 2:6; [ch. 3:23; 13:27]walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,

and he has set darkness upon my paths.

9He has 19:9 Ps. 89:44stripped from me my glory

and taken the 19:9 Ps. 89:39; Lam. 5:16; [ch. 29:14]crown from my head.

10He breaks me down on every side, and I 19:10 ch. 27:21; [ch. 10:21; 14:20]am gone,

and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.

11He has kindled his wrath against me

and 19:11 See ch. 13:24counts me as his adversary.

12His 19:12 [ch. 10:17; 25:2] troops come on together;

they have 19:12 ch. 30:12cast up their siege ramp19:12 Hebrew their way against me

and encamp around my tent.

13“He has put my 19:13 Ps. 69:8; [ch. 6:15] brothers far from me,

and 19:13 [Ps. 31:11; 88:8, 18]those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.

14My relatives 19:14 Ps. 38:11have failed me,

my close 19:14 Ps. 55:13friends have forgotten me.

15The guests 19:15 [Gen. 17:27; Matt. 10:36]in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger;

I have become a foreigner in their eyes.

16I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;

I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy.

17My breath is strange to my 19:17 ch. 2:9wife,

and I am a stench to the children of 19:17 ch. 3:10my own mother.

18Even young 19:18 [2 Kgs. 2:23]children despise me;

when I rise they talk against me.

19All my 19:19 [Ps. 41:9; 55:13, 14]intimate friends abhor me,

and those whom I loved have turned against me.

20My 19:20 Ps. 102:5; [Lam. 4:8]bones stick to my skin and to my flesh,

and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

21Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, O you my friends,

for the hand of God has 19:21 ch. 1:11; Isa. 53:4touched me!

22Why do you, like God, 19:22 [Ps. 69:26]pursue me?

Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?

23“Oh that my words were written!

Oh that they were 19:23 Isa. 30:8inscribed in a book!

24Oh that with an iron 19:24 Jer. 17:1pen and lead

they were engraved in the rock forever!

25For I 19:25 ch. 30:23know that my 19:25 Isa. 43:14; 44:6, 24; 49:7; [Gen. 48:16; Ps. 19:14; 103:4; 1 Thess. 1:10] Redeemer lives,

and at the last he will stand upon the 19:25 ch. 41:33earth.19:25 Hebrew dust

26And after my skin has been thus destroyed,

yet in19:26 Or without my flesh I shall 19:26 Ps. 17:15; 1 Cor. 13:12; 1 John 3:2see God,

27whom I shall see for myself,

and my eyes shall behold, and not 19:27 [Prov. 27:2] another.

My heart 19:27 [Ps. 73:26]faints within me!

28If you say, ‘How we will 19:28 [See ver. 22above]pursue him!’

and, ‘The root of the matter is found in him,’19:28 Many Hebrew manuscripts in me

29be afraid of the sword,

for wrath brings the punishment of the sword,

that you may know there is 19:29 Eccles. 12:14; See Ps. 58:11a judgment.”
