§3
* 伯22:2 人岂能使上帝有益呢？智慧人但能有益于己。
§4
*Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
§5
* 伯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？
§6
*Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
§7
* 伯22:4 岂是因你敬畏他就责备你、审判你吗？
§8
*Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
§9
* 伯22:5 你的罪恶岂不是大吗？你的罪孽也没有穷尽；
§10
*Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
§11
* 伯22:6 因你无故强取弟兄的物为当头，剥去贫寒人的衣服。
§12
*For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
§13
* 伯22:7 困乏的人，你没有给他水喝；饥饿的人，你没有给他食物。
§14
*Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
§15
* 伯22:8 有能力的人就得地土；尊贵的人也住在其中。
§16
*But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
§17
* 伯22:9 你打发寡妇空手回去，折断孤儿的膀臂。
§18
*Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
§19
* 伯22:10 因此，有网罗环绕你，有恐惧忽然使你惊惶；
§20
*Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
§21
* 伯22:11 或有黑暗蒙蔽你，并有洪水淹没你。
§22
*Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
§23
* 伯22:12 上帝岂不是在高天吗？你看星宿何其高呢！
§24
*Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
§25
* 伯22:13 你说：上帝知道什么？他岂能看透幽暗施行审判呢？
§26
*And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
§27
* 伯22:14 密云将他遮盖，使他不能看见；他周游穹苍。
§28
*Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
§29
* 伯22:15 你要依从上古的道吗？这道是恶人所行的。
§30
*Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
§31
* 伯22:16 他们未到死期，忽然除灭；根基毁坏，好像被江河冲去。
§32
*Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
§33
* 伯22:17 他们向上帝说：离开我们吧！又说：全能者能把我们怎么样呢？
§34
*Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
§35
* 伯22:18 哪知上帝以美物充满他们的房屋；但恶人所谋定的离我好远。
§36
*Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
§37
* 伯22:19 义人看见他们的结局就欢喜；无辜的人嗤笑他们，
§38
*The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
§39
* 伯22:20 说：那起来攻击我们的果然被剪除，其余的都被火烧灭。
§40
*Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
§41
* 伯22:21 你要认识上帝，就得平安；福气也必临到你。
§42
*Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
§43
* 伯22:22 你当领受他口中的教训，将他的言语存在心里。
§44
*Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
§45
* 伯22:23 你若归向全能者，从你帐棚中远除不义，就必得建立。
§46
*If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
§47
* 伯22:24 要将你的珍宝丢在尘土里，将俄斐的黄金丢在溪河石头之间；
§48
*Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
§49
* 伯22:25 全能者就必为你的珍宝，作你的宝银。
§50
*Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
§51
* 伯22:26 你就要以全能者为喜乐，向上帝仰起脸来。
§52
*For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
§53
* 伯22:27 你要祷告他，他就听你；你也要还你的愿。
§54
*Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
§55
* 伯22:28 你定意要做何事，必然给你成就；亮光也必照耀你的路。
§56
*Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
§57
* 伯22:29 人使你降卑，你仍可说：必得高升；谦卑的人，上帝必然拯救。
§58
*When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
§59
* 伯22:30 人非无辜，上帝且要搭救他；他因你手中清洁，必蒙拯救。
§60
*He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
