QT:偉大的老師,配得讚美的神(約伯記36:17—36:33)
[生命泉源]
36:17 — | 但你滿口有惡人批評的言語;判斷和刑罰抓住你。 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you. |
36:18 — | 不可容忿怒觸動你,使你不服責罰;也不可因贖價大就偏行。 Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside. |
36:19 — | 你的呼求(或作:資財),或是你一切的勢力,果有靈驗,叫你不受患難麼? Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress? |
36:20 — | 不要切慕黑夜,就是眾民在本處被除滅的時候。 Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes. |
36:21 — | 你要謹慎,不可重看罪孽,因你選擇罪孽過於選擇苦難。 Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction. |
36:22 — | 神行事有高大的能力;教訓人的有誰像他呢? "God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him? |
36:23 — | 誰派定他的道路?誰能說:你所行的不義? Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, `You have done wrong'? |
36:24 — | 你不可忘記稱讚他所行的為大,就是人所歌頌的。 Remember to extol his work, which men have praised in song. |
36:25 — | 他所行的,萬人都看見;世人也從遠處觀看。 All mankind has seen it; men gaze on it from afar. |
36:26 — | 神為大,我們不能全知;他的年數不能測度。 How great is God--beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out. |
36:27 — | 他吸取水點,這水點從雲霧中就變成雨; "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; |
36:28 — | 雲彩將雨落下,沛然降與世人。 the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. |
36:29 — | 誰能明白雲彩如何鋪張,和神行宮的雷聲呢? Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion? |
36:30 — | 他將亮光普照在自己的四圍;他又遮覆海底。 See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea. |
36:31 — | 他用這些審判眾民,且賜豐富的糧食。 This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance. |
36:32 — | 他以電光遮手,命閃電擊中敵人(或作:中了靶子)。 He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark. |
36:33 — | 所發的雷聲顯明他的作為,又向牲畜指明要起暴風。 His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach. |
省 思 語— | 為了脫離苦難,我採取了什麼方法呢? |
省 思 語— | 神為了鍛鍊我們所賜下的傷口可以被神醫治,但與罪親吻會招致死亡。 |
