旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第27章

And Job continued his discourse:
"As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made me taste bitterness of soul,
as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,
my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will utter no deceit.
I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity.
I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.
"May my enemies be like the wicked, my adversaries like the unjust!
For what hope has the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
Does God listen to his cry when distress comes upon him?
Will he find delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
"I will teach you about the power of God; the ways of the Almighty I will not conceal.
You have all seen this yourselves. Why then this meaningless talk?
"Here is the fate God allots to the wicked, the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:
However many his children, their fate is the sword; his offspring will never have enough to eat.
The plague will bury those who survive him, and their widows will not weep for them.
Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay,
what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver.
The house he builds is like a moth's cocoon, like a hut made by a watchman.
He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest snatches him away in the night.
The east wind carries him off, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
It claps its hands in derision and hisses him out of his place.
约伯记第廿七章   第 27 章 

  伯 27:6> 我们在什么事上不能夸口,什么事上可以? 

  27:6 在许多指控中,约伯仍能声称他良心清白。只有决心在神面前公义地生活和得到神的赦免才能有清洁的良心。在约伯受指控的时候,他的表现变得极为重要。我们要像约伯一样,不能夸口说我们无罪,但我们可以夸口说我们的罪得了赦免。在我们向神悔罪的时候,祂便赦免了我们;我们便可以过良心清白的生活(参约壹 1:9 )。 

  伯 27:13-23> 约伯同意朋友的论点了吗?还是他自相矛盾? 

  27:13-23 约伯同意他朋友所说的,恶人的结局将是灭亡。但他不同意自己被指为恶人,当受神的惩罚。他列举的许多惩罚从未临到他头上,所以他认为不能把他包括在恶人中间。相反,他继续求神为他申辩。──《灵修版圣经注释》
