约伯记 第 32 章
1于是这三个人，因约伯自以为义就不再回答他。
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2那时有布西人兰族巴拉迦的儿子以利户向约伯发怒；因约伯自以为义，不以神为义。
2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
3他又向约伯的三个朋友发怒；因为他们想不出回答的话来，仍以约伯为有罪。
3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4以利户要与约伯说话，就等候他们，因为他们比自己年老。
4Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5以利户见这三个人口中无话回答，就怒气发作。
5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6布西人巴拉迦的儿子以利户回答说： 我年轻，你们老迈； 因此我退让，不敢向你们陈说我的意见。
6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
8但在人里面有灵； 全能者的气使人有聪明。
8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
11你们查究所要说的话； 那时我等候你们的话， 侧耳听你们的辩论，
11Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12留心听你们； 谁知你们中间无一人折服约伯， 驳倒他的话。
12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13你们切不可说：我们寻得智慧； 神能胜他，人却不能。
13Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14约伯没有向我争辩； 我也不用你们的话回答他。
14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
16我岂因他们不说话， 站住不再回答，仍旧等候呢？
16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
19我的胸怀如盛酒之囊没有出气之缝， 又如新皮袋快要破裂。
19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
