< 約伯記 26 >
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 have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 無智慧的人蒙你何等的指教! 你向他多顯大知識!
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 在上帝面前,陰間顯露; 滅亡也不得遮掩。 (Sheol )
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol )
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 在水面的周圍劃出界限, 直到光明黑暗的交界。
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift 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?
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
