约伯记16-智慧

约伯记16章中

¹Then Job spoke again: ²“I have heard all this before.What miserable comforters you are! ³Won’t you ever stop blowing hot air?What makes you keep on talking? ⁴I could say the same things if you were in my place.I could spout off criticism and shake my head at you. ⁵But if it were me, I would encourage you.I would try to take away your grief. ⁶Instead, I suffer if I defend myself, and I suffer no less if I refuse to speak. ⁷“O God, you have ground me downand devastated my family. ⁸As if to prove I have sinned, you’ve reduced me to skin and bones.My gaunt flesh testifies against me. ⁹God hates me and angrily tears me apart.He snaps his teeth at meand pierces me with his eyes. ¹⁰People jeer and laugh at me.They slap my cheek in contempt.A mob gathers against me. ¹¹God has handed me over to sinners.He has tossed me into the hands of the wicked. ¹²“I was living quietly until he shattered me.He took me by the neck and broke me in pieces.Then he set me up as his target, ¹³and now his archers surround me.His arrows pierce me without mercy.The ground is wet with my blood.#16:13 Hebrew my gall. ¹⁴Again and again he smashes against me, charging at me like a warrior. ¹⁵I wear burlap to show my grief.My pride lies in the dust. ¹⁶My eyes are red with weeping;dark shadows circle my eyes. ¹⁷Yet I have done no wrong, and my prayer is pure. ¹⁸“O earth, do not conceal my blood.Let it cry out on my behalf. ¹⁹Even now my witness is in heaven.My advocate is there on high. ²⁰My friends scorn me, but I pour out my tears to God. ²¹I need someone to mediate between God and me, as a person mediates between friends. ²²For soon I must go down that roadfrom which I will never return.
