 ＱＴ：有熱情和領悟的年輕人（約伯記32：01—32：09）


[生命泉源]

32：01 — 於是這三個人，因約伯自以為義就不再回答他。
So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
32：02 — 那時有布西人蘭族巴拉迦的兒子以利戶向約伯發怒；因約伯自以為義，不以神為義。
But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God.
32：03 — 他又向約伯的三個朋友發怒；因為他們想不出回答的話來，仍以約伯為有罪。
He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
32：04 — 以利戶要與約伯說話，就等候他們，因為他們比自己年老。
Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he.
32：05 — 以利戶見這三個人口中無話回答，就怒氣發作。
But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.
32：06 — 布西人巴拉迦的兒子以利戶回答說：我年輕，你們老邁；因此我退讓，不敢向你們陳說我的意見。
So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said:"I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know.
32：07 — 我說，年老的當先說話；壽高的當以智慧教訓人。
I thought, `Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.
32：08 — 但在人裏面有靈；全能者的氣使人有聰明。
'But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
32：09 — 尊貴的不都有智慧；壽高的不都能明白公平。
It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.
省 思 語— 神賜下的熱情能讓我們超越環境，神使用熱情的人。
省 思 語— 我對工作和人有多少熱情呢？我要以聖靈澆灌的熱情來承擔的事情有哪些？
省 思 語— 智慧不是人製造的，唯有神才能賜下智慧給我們。因此我們總要保持謙卑學習的態度，因為我們不知道神會透過誰來教導我們。

 ＱＴ：求祢記念善行並應允！（約伯記31：29—31：40）


[生命泉源]

31：29 — 我若見恨我的遭報就歡喜，見他遭災便高興；
"If I have rejoiced at my enemy's misfortune or gloated over the trouble that came to him--
31：30 — （我沒有容口犯罪，咒詛他的生命；）
I have not allowed my mouth to sin by invoking a curse against his life--
31：31 — 若我帳棚的人未嘗說，誰不以主人的食物喫飽呢？
if the men of my household have never said, `Who has not had his fill of Job's meat?'--
31：32 — （從來我沒有容客旅在街上住宿，卻開門迎接行路的人；）
but no stranger had to spend the night in the street, for my door was always open to the traveler--
31：33 — 我若像亞當（或作：別人）遮掩我的過犯，將罪孽藏在懷中；
if I have concealed my sin as men do, by hiding my guilt in my heart
31：34 — 因懼怕大眾，又因宗族藐視我使我驚恐，以致閉口無言，杜門不出；
because I so feared the crowd and so dreaded the contempt of the clans that I kept silent and would not go outside
31：35 — 惟願有一位肯聽我！（看哪，在這裏有我所劃的押，願全能者回答我！）
("Oh, that I had someone to hear me! I sign now my defense--let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser put his indictment in writing.
31：36 — 願那敵我者所寫的狀詞在我這裏！我必帶在肩上，又綁在頭上為冠冕。
Surely I would wear it on my shoulder, I would put it on like a crown.
31：37 — 我必向他述說我腳步的數目，必如君王進到他面前。
I would give him an account of my every step; like a prince I would approach him.)--
31：38 — 我若奪取田地，這地向我喊冤，溝一同哭泣；
"if my land cries out against me and all its furrows are wet with tears,
31：39 — 我若喫地的出產不給價值，或叫原主喪命；
if I have devoured its yield without payment or broken the spirit of its tenants,
31：40 — 願這地長蒺藜代替麥子，長惡草代替大麥。約伯的話說完了。
then let briers come up instead of wheat and weeds instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
省 思 語— 屬神的人以神旨意為優先，自己的想法只有合乎神旨意時才會去實行；然而虛假的人恰好相反，總是以自己想要的為優先，並會尋找神的話語，將自己的慾望正當化。
省 思 語— 我能否不咒詛討厭我、讓我難過的人，而去祝福他們？覺得想法與神旨意不同的時候，我會如何行動？
省 思 語— 當對方不回應的時候，我會採取什麼方法？為什麼與神交通很重要？

 ＱＴ：在主面前無愧的生活（約伯記31：13—31：28）


[生命泉源]

31：13 — 我的僕婢與我爭辯的時候，我若藐視不聽他們的情節；
"If I have denied justice to my menservants and maidservants when they had a grievance against me,
31：14 — 神興起，我怎樣行呢？他察問，我怎樣回答呢？
what will I do when God confronts me? What will I answer when called to account?
31：15 — 造我在腹中的，不也是造他麼？將他與我摶在腹中的豈不是一位麼？
Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?
31：16 — 我若不容貧寒人得其所願，或叫寡婦眼中失望，
"If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,
31：17 — 或獨自喫我一點食物，孤兒沒有與我同喫；
if I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with the fatherless--
31：18 — （從幼年時孤兒與我同長，好像父子一樣；我從出母腹就扶助（原文是引領）寡婦。）
but from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my birth I guided the widow--
31：19 — 我若見人因無衣死亡，或見窮乏人身無遮蓋；
if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a garment,
31：20 — 我若不使他因我羊的毛得暖，為我祝福；
and his heart did not bless me for warming him with the fleece from my sheep,
31：21 — 我若在城門口見有幫助我的，舉手攻擊孤兒；
if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that I had influence in court,
31：22 — 情願我的肩頭從缺盆骨脫落，我的膀臂從羊矢骨折斷。
then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let it be broken off at the joint.
31：23 — 因神降的災禍使我恐懼；因他的威嚴，我不能妄為。
For I dreaded destruction from God, and for fear of his splendor I could not do such things.
31：24 — 我若以黃金為指望，對精金說：你是我的倚靠；
"If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, `You are my security,
31：25 — 我若因財物豐裕，因我手多得資財而歡喜；
'if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune my hands had gained,
31：26 — 我若見太陽發光，明月行在空中，
if I have regarded the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor,
31：27 — 心就暗暗被引誘，口便親手；
so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,
31：28 — 這也是審判官當罰的罪孽，又是我背棄在上的神。
then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.
省 思 語— 愛神的證據就是去愛人。
省 思 語— 在認識的人當中，有誰是我不想承認他也是神創造的尊貴存在？我能如何向他表達最最高的尊重與禮貌？
省 思 語— 我至今仍無法放棄的慾望是什麼？我如何應對錢財、名譽、異性等等使我無法單單愛神的因素呢？
