1約伯回答說：Then Job answered:
2你們攪擾我的心，用言語壓碎我要到幾時呢？“How long will you torment me and crush me with your words?
3你們這羞辱我；你們苦待我也不以為恥。Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me.
4果真我有錯，這錯乃是在我。Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone.
5你們果然要向我誇大，以我的羞辱為證指責我，If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me,
6就該知道是 神傾覆我，用網羅圍繞我。then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me.
7我因委曲呼叫，卻不蒙應允；我呼求，卻不得公斷。Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.
8神用籬笆攔住我的道路，使我不得經過；又使我的路徑黑暗。He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness.
9他剝去我的榮光，摘去我頭上的冠冕。He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
10他在四圍攻擊我，我便歸於死亡，將我的指望如樹拔出來。He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.
11他的忿怒向我發作，以我為敵人。His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.
12他的軍旅一齊上來，修築戰路攻擊我，在我帳棚的四圍安營。His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.
13他把我的弟兄隔在遠處，使我所認識的全然與我生疏。He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.
14我的親戚與我斷絕；我的密友都忘記我。My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me.
15在我家寄居的，和我的使女都以我為外人；我在他們眼中看為外邦人。My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.
16我呼喚僕人，雖用口求他，他還是不回答。I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth.
17我口的氣味，我妻子厭惡；我的懇求，我同胞也憎嫌。My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family.
18連小孩子也藐視我；我若起來，他們都嘲笑我。Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me.
19我的密友都憎惡我；我平日所愛的人向我翻臉。All my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me.
20我的皮肉緊貼骨頭；我。My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21我朋友啊，可憐我！可憐我！因為 神的手攻擊我。Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.
22你們為甚麼彷彿 神逼迫我，吃我的肉還以為不足呢？Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
23惟願我的言語現在寫上，都記錄在書上；I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,
24用鐵筆，，直存到永遠。by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever.
25我知道我的活著，末了必站立在地上。But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.
26我這皮肉滅絕之後，我必得見 神。Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.
27我自己要見他，親眼要看他，並不像外人。我的在我裡面消滅了！I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger. How my heart yearns within me!
28你們若說：我們逼迫他要何等地重呢？惹事的根乃在乎他；If you say, ‘Let us persecute him, since the root of the matter lies with him,’
29你們就當懼怕刀劍；因為忿怒惹動刀劍的刑罰，使你們知道有報應（原文是審判）。then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”
