Job 31장~36장

[bonita]

Job 31

1. "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl
2. For what is man's lot from God above, his herotgge from the Almighty on hight
3. Is it not ruin the wicked, disaster for those who do wrong?
4. Does he not see my ways and count my every step?
5. "If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has hurried after deceit-
6. let God weight me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless
7. if my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled.then may others eat what I have been defiled.
8. then may others eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.
9. ""if  my heard has been entoced by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door.
10. then may my wife grind another man's grain, and may other men sleep with her
11. For that would have been shameful, a sin to be judged.
12. It is a fire that burns to Desruction; it would have uprooted ny harvest
13. "If I have denied justice to my menservants and maidservants when they had a grievance against me,
14. what will I do when God confronts me? What will I answer when called to account?
15. Did not ne who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one from us bot within our mothers?
16. "If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,
17. if I have kept my bread to my self, not sharing it with the fatherless-
18. but from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my birth I guided the widow-
19. if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a garment,
20. and his heart did not bless me for warning him with the fleece from my sheep,
21. if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that had influence in court,
22. then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let  it be broken off at the joint
23. For I dreaded destruction from God, and for fear of his spendor I could not do such things.
24. "If L have put my trust in gold or said to ure gold,'You are my security
25. if I have rejoiced over my grat wealth. the fortune my hands had gained.
26. if I have regarded the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor,
27. so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,
28. then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high
29. "If I have rejoiced at my enemy's misfortune or glooated over the trouble that came to him-
30. I have not allowed my mouth to sin by invoking a curse against his life-
31. if the men of my household have never said, 'Who has not had his fill of Job's meat?'-
32. but no stranger had to spend the night in the street, for my door was always open to the traveler
33. if I have comcealed my sin as men do, by hiding my guilt in my heart
34. because I so feared the crowd and sod readed the contempt of the clans , that I kept silent and would not go outside
35. "(Oh, that I had someone to ehar me! I sign now my defense-let the Almighty answer me; let my sccused put his indictment in writting
36. Surely I would wear it on my shoulder, I would put it on like a crown.
37. I would give him an account of my every step like a prince I would approach him).
38. "if my land cries out against me, and all its furrows are wet with tears.
39. if I have devoured its yield without payment or broken the spiriof its tenants.
40. then let briers come up instead of wheat and weeds instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.

Job 32

1. So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. But Elihu son of Barakel the Bazite . of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God.
3. He was also angry with the three friends because the had found no way to rdfute Job, and yet had condemned him.
4. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he.
5. , But wheb he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.
6. So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said: "I am young in yu are old: that is whay I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know.
7. I throught,'Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.'
8. But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding,
9. It  is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.
10. "Therfore I say; Listen to me: I too will tell you what I know.
11. I waited while you spoke, I listened to your reasoning; while you were searching for words.
12. I gave you my full attention, But not one of you has proved Job wrong; none of you has answered his arguments.
13. Do not say, 'We have found wisdom; let God refute him, not man.'
14. But Job has not marshaled his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15. "They are dismayed and have no more to say: words have failed them.
16. Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand there with no reply?
17. I too will have my say: I too will tell what I know
18. For I am full of words, and the spirit within me compels me;
19. inside I am like bottled -up wine, like new wineskins ready to burst.
20. I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and reply.
21. I will show partiality to no one, nor will I flatter any man;
22. for if I were skilled in flattery, my Maker would soon take me away.

Job 33

1. "But now, Job, listen to my wards; py ttention to everything I say.
2. I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3. My words come from an upritht heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know
4. The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life
5. Answere me them, if you can; prepare yourself and confront me.
6. I am just like you before God; I too have been taken from clay,
7. No fear of me should alarm you, nor should my hnd be heavy upon you.
8. "But you hve said in my hearing- I heard the very words-
9. 'I am pure and without sin; I am clean and free from guilt.
10. Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy.
11. He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.'
12. "But I tell you, in this you are not right for God is greater than man.
13. Why do you complain to him that he answeres none of man's words?
14. For God does speak falls on men as they slumber in their beds
15. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds
16. he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings.
17. to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him form pride
18. to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword,
19. Or a man may be chastened on a ned of pain with constant distress in his bones
20. so that his very being finds food repulsive and his soul loathes the choicest meal.
21. His flesh wsters away to nothing, and his bones, once hidden, now stick out
22. His soul draws near to the pit, and his bones , once hidden , now stick out and his life to the messengers of death.
23. "Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him.
24. to be gracious to him and say, 'Spare him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him'-
25. then his flesh is renewed like a child's; it is restored as in the days of his youth.
26. He prays to God and finds favor with him, he sees God's face and shouts for joy; he is restored by God to his righteous state.
27. Then he comes to men and says,'I sinned, and perverted what was right, but I did not get what I deserved.
28. He redeemed ny soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.'
29. "God does all these things to a man- twice, even three times-
30. to turn back his soul from the pit. that the light of life may shine on him
31. "Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak
32. If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, for I want you to be cleared.
33. But  if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."

Job 34

1.  Then Elihu said:
2. "Her my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning
3. For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food.
4. Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
5. "Job sys, 'I m innocent, but God denies me justice.
6. Although I am right, I am considered a liar; lthough I am guiltless, his rrow inflicts an incurable wound.'
7. What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water?
8. He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with wicked men
9. For he says, 'It profits  man nothing when he tries to please God.'
10. "So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from Gd to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.
11. He repays a man for what he has done; he bring upon him what his conduct deserves.
12. It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice.
13. Who appointed him over the earth? Who put  him in charge of the whole world?
14. If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath,
15. all mankind would perish together and man would return to the dust.
16. "If you hve understanding , hear this: listen to what I say
17. Can he who hates justoice govern? Will you condemn the just and might One?
18. Is he not the One who says to kings, 'You re worthless.' and to nobles, 'You are wicked.'
19. who shows no partoality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?
20. They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without  human hand.
21. "His eyes are  on the ways of men; he sees their every step.
22. There is no dark place, no deep shadow, where evildoers can hide.
23. God has no need to examine men further, that they should come before him for judgement.
24. Without inquiry he shatters the mighty and sets up others in their place
25. Because he takes mote of their deeds. he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed
26. He punisheds them for their wickedness where everyone can see them.
27. because  they turned from following him and had no regard for any of his ways
28. They caused the cry of the poor to come before him. so that he heard the cry of the needy.
29. But if he remains silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he is over man and nation alike.
30. to keep a godless man from ruling, from laying snares for the people.
31. "Suppose a man says to God,'I am guilty but will offend no more
32.  Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong. I will not do so again
33. Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I: so tell me what you know.
34. "Men of understanding declare, wise men who hear me say to me,
35. "Job  speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.'
36. Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost for answereing like a wicked man!
37. To his  sin he adds rebellion; scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God."

Job 35

1. Then Elihu said:
2. "Do you think this is just? You say, 'I will be cleared by God.'
3. Yet you sk him. 'What profit is it to me, and what do I gain by not sinning?"
4. "I would like to reply to you nd to your friends with you.
5. Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high sbove you.
6. If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins re many, what does that do to him?
7. If you are righteous , what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?
8. Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, nd your righteousness only the sons of men.
9. "Men cry out under a load of oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.
10. But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night
11. who teaches more to us than to the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?
12. He does not answer when men cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked.
13. Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.
14. How much less, then, will he listen when you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him. and you must wait for him.
15. and firther, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness
16. So Job opens his mouth with empty talk; witout knowldege he multiplies words."

Job 3

1. Elihu continued:
2. "Bear with me a little longer and I will show you that there is more to be said in God's behalf
3. I get my knowledge from fr; I will ascribe justice to my Maker
4. Be assured that my words are not false; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
5. "God is mighty , but does not despise men; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.
6. He does not  keep the wicked alive but gives the affilicted their rights
7. He does not take his eyes off the righteous, he enthrones them, with kings and exalts them forever
8. But if men are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction
9. he tells them what they have done- that they have sinned arrogantly
10. He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil
11. If they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment
12. But  if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge
13. "The godless in heart jharbor resentment; even when he fatters them, they do not cry for help.
14. They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines.
15. But thise suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.
16. "He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious plce free from restiriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.
17. But now you are laden with the judgement due the wicked: judgment and justice have  taken hold of you.
18. Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.
19. Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress?
20. Do nt long for the night, to drag people away from their homes, which you seem to prefer to affliction
21. "Be ware of turning to evil, which you seem to perfer to affliction.
22. "God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23. Who has prescribed his ways  for him, or said to him, 'You have done wrong?
24. Remember toe xtol his work, which men have praised in song
25. All mankind hs seen it; men gaze on it from afar.
26. How grat is God- beyond our understam=nding! The number of his years is past finding out.
27. "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams;
28. the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.
29. Who cn understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?
30. See how he scatters his lightning about him. bathing the depths of the sea
31. This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance
32. He fills his hands with lightning nd commands it to strike its mark.
33. His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cttle make known its approach.
