< 約伯記 26 >
But Job answered and said,
2 無能的人蒙你何等的幫助! 膀臂無力的人蒙你何等的拯救!
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 無智慧的人蒙你何等的指教! 你向他多顯大知識!
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 在上帝面前,陰間顯露; 滅亡也不得遮掩。 (Sheol )
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol )
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 在水面的周圍劃出界限, 直到光明黑暗的交界。
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 看哪,這不過是上帝工作的些微; 我們所聽於他的是何等細微的聲音! 他大能的雷聲誰能明透呢?
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
