I have heard the check of my reproach； and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer。
20：4你岂不知亘古以来，自从人生在地。
Knowest thou not this of old； since man was placed upon earth；
20：5恶人夸胜是暂时的，不敬虔人的喜乐，不过转眼之间吗。
That the triumphing of the wicked is short； and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment？
20：6他的尊荣虽达到天上，头虽顶到云中，
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens； and his head reach unto the clouds；
20：7他终必灭亡，像自己的粪一样。素来见他的人要说，他在那里呢。
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung： they which have seen him shall say； Where is he？
20：8他必飞去如梦，不再寻见，速被赶去，如夜间的异象。
He shall fly away as a dream； and shall not be found： yea； he shall be chased away as a vision of the night。
20：9亲眼见过他的，必不再见他。他的本处也再见不着他。
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more； neither shall his place any more behold him。
20：10他的儿女要求穷人的恩。他的手要赔还不义之财。
His children shall seek to please the poor； and his hands shall restore their goods。
20：11他的骨头虽然有青年之力，却要和他一同躺卧在尘土中。
His bones are full of the sin of his youth； which shall lie down with him in the dust。
20：12他口内虽以恶为甘甜，藏在舌头底下。
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth； though he hide it under his tongue；
20：13爱恋不舍，含在口中。
Though he spare it； and forsake it not； but keep it still within his mouth：
20：14他的食物在肚里却要化为酸，在他里面成为虺蛇的恶毒。
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned； it is the gall of asps within him。
20：15他吞了财宝，还要吐出。神要从他腹中掏出来。
He hath swallowed down riches； and he shall vomit them up again： God shall cast them out of his belly。
20：16他必吸饮虺蛇的毒气。蝮蛇的舌头也必杀他。
He shall suck the poison of asps： the viper's tongue shall slay him。
20：17流奶与蜜之河，他不得再见。
He shall not see the rivers； the floods； the brooks of honey and butter。
20：18他劳碌得来的要赔还，不得享用（原文作吞下），不能照所得的财货欢乐。
That which he laboured for shall he restore； and shall not swallow it down： according to his substance shall the restitution be； and he shall not rejoice therein。
20：19他欺压穷人，且又离弃。强取非自己所盖的房屋（或作强取房屋不得再建造）。
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor； because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not；
20：20他因贪而无厌，所喜悦的连一样也不能保守。
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly； he shall not save of that which he desired。
20：21其馀的没有一样他不吞灭，所以他的福乐不能长久。
There shall none of his meat be left； therefore shall no man look for his goods。
20：22他在满足有馀的时候，必到狭窄的地步。凡受苦楚的人，都必加手在他身上。
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits： every hand of the wicked shall e upon him。
20：23他正要充满肚腹的时候，神必将猛烈的忿怒，降在他身上。正在他吃饭的时候，要将这忿怒像雨降在他身上。
When he is about to fill his belly； God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him； and shall rain it upon him while he is eating。
20：24他要躲避铁器。铜弓的箭要将他射透。
He shall flee from the iron weapon； and the bow of steel shall strike him through。
20：25他把箭一抽，就从他身上出来。发光的箭头从他胆中出来，有惊惶临在他身上。
It is drawn； and eth out of the body； yea； the glittering sword eth out of his gall： terrors are upon him。
20：26他的财宝归于黑暗。人所不吹的火要把他烧灭，要把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places： a fire not blown shall consume him； it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle。
20：27天要显明他的罪孽，地要兴起攻击他。
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity； and the earth shall rise up against him。
20：28他的家产必然过去。神发怒的日子，他的货物都要消灭。
The increase of his house shall depart； and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath。
20：29这是恶人从神所得的分，是神为他所定的产业。
This is the portion of a wicked man from God； and the heritage appointed unto him by God。
旧约 约伯记（Job） 第 21 章 （ 本篇共有 42 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
21：1约伯回答说，
But Job answered and said；
21：2你们要细听我的言语，就算是你们安慰我。
Hear diligently my speech； and let this be your consolations。
21：3请宽容我，我又要说话。说了以后，任凭你们嗤笑吧。
Suffer me that I may speak； and after that I have spoken； mock on。
21：4我岂是向人诉冤，为何不焦急呢。
As for me； is my plaint to man？ and if it were so； why should not my spirit be troubled？
21：5你们要看着我而惊奇，用手捂口。
Mark me； and be astonished； and lay your hand upon your mouth。
21：6我每逢思想，心就惊惶，浑身战兢。
Even when I remember I am afraid； and trembling taketh hold on my flesh。
21：7恶人为何存活，享大寿数，势力强盛呢。
Wherefore do the wicked live； bee old； yea； are mighty in power？
21：8他们眼见儿孙，和他们一同坚立。
Their seed is established in their sight with them； and their offspring before their eyes。
21：9他们的家宅平安无惧。神的杖也不加在他们身上。
Their houses are safe from fear； neither is the rod of God upon them。
21：10他们的公牛孳生而不断绝。母牛下犊而不掉胎。
Their bull gendereth； and faileth not； their cow calveth； and casteth not her calf。
21：11他们打发小孩子出去，多如羊群。他们的儿女踊跃跳舞。
They send forth their little ones like a flock； and their children dance。
21：12他们随着琴鼓歌唱，又因箫声欢喜。
They take the timbrel and harp； and rejoice at the sound of the organ。
21：13他们度日诸事亨通，转眼下入阴间。
They spend their days in wealth； and in a moment go down to the grave。
21：14他们对神说，离开我们吧。我们不愿晓得你的道。
Therefore they say unto God； Depart from us； for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways。
21：15全能者是谁，我们何必事奉他呢。求告他有什么益处呢。
What is the Almighty； that we should serve him？ and what profit should we have； if we pray unto him？
21：16看哪，他们亨通不在乎自己。恶人所谋定的离我好远。
Lo； their good is not in their hand： the counsel of the wicked is far from me。
21：17恶人的灯何尝熄灭。患难何尝临到他们呢。神何尝发怒，向他们分散灾祸呢。
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out！ and how oft eth their destruction upon them！ God distributeth sorrows in his anger。
21：18他们何尝像风前的碎秸，如暴风刮去的糠秕呢。
They are as stubble before the wind； and as chaff that the storm carrieth away。
21：19你们说，神为恶人的儿女积蓄罪孽。我说，不如本人受报，好使他亲自知道。
God layeth up his iniquity for his children： he rewardeth him； and he shall know it。
21：20愿他亲眼看见自己败亡，亲自饮全能者的忿怒。
His eyes shall see his destruction； and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty。
21：21他的岁月既尽，他还顾他本家吗。
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him； when the number of his months is cut off in the midst？
21：22神既审判那在高位的，谁能将知识教训他呢。
Shall any teach God knowledge？ seeing he judgeth those that are high。
21：23有人至死身体强壮，尽得平靖安逸。
One dieth in his full strength； being wholly at ease and quiet。
21：24他的奶桶充满，他的骨髓滋润。
His breasts are full of milk； and his bones are moistened with marrow。
21：25有人至死心中痛苦，终身未尝福乐的滋味。
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul； and never eateth with pleasure。
21：26他们一样躺卧在尘土中，都被虫子遮盖。
They shall lie down alike in the dust； and the worms shall cover them。
21：27我知道你们的意思，并诬害我的计谋。
Behold； I know your thoughts； and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me。
21：28你们说，霸者的房屋在那里。恶人住过的帐棚在那里。
For ye say； Where is the house of the prince？ and where are the dwelling places of the wicked？
21：29你们岂没有询问过路的人吗。不知道他们所引的证据吗。
Have ye not asked them that go by the way？ and do ye not know their tokens；
21：30就是恶人在祸患的日子得存留，在发怒的日子得逃脱。
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction？ they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath。
21：31他所行的，有谁当面给他说明。他所做的，有谁报应他呢。
Who shall declare his way to his face？ and who shall repay him what he hath done？
21：32然而他要被抬到茔地，并有人看守坟墓。
Yet shall he be brought to the grave； and shall remain in the tomb。
21：33他要以谷中的土块为甘甜，在他以先去的无数，在他以后去的更多。
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him； and every man shall draw after him； as there are innumerable before him。
21：34你们对答的话中既都错谬，怎吗徒然安慰我呢。
How then fort ye me in vain； seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood？
旧约 约伯记（Job） 第 22 章 （ 本篇共有 42 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
22：1毯螅人以利法回答说，
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said；
22：2人岂能使神有益呢。智慧人但能有益于己。
Can a man be profitable unto God； as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself？
22：3你为人公义，岂叫全能者喜悦呢。你行为完全，岂能使他得利呢。
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty； that thou art righteous？ or is it gain to him； that thou makest thy ways perfect？
22：4岂是因你敬畏他，就责备你，审判你吗。
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee？ will he enter with thee into judgment？
22：5你的罪恶岂不是大吗。你的罪孽也没有穷尽。
Is not thy wickedness great？ and thine iniquities infinite？
22：6因你无故强取弟兄的物为当头，剥去贫寒人的衣服。
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought； and stripped the naked of their
