(Job 12:3).

3. 约伯愿在神面前陈明自己的案件（伯9:34、35），因他愈来愈确信那些自命的“医生”毫无价值（伯16:2）。
英文原文
3. Job wishes to plead his cause before God
(Job 9:34, 35),
as he is more and more convinced of the valueless character of his would-be "physicians"
(Job 16:2).

无标题
4. 编造谎言的（forgers of lies）——原文作“虚妄之言的诡诈扭曲者”[翁布雷特（UMBREIT）]。

7
无标题
7. 诡诈（deceitfully）——以谬论为神的作为辩护；仿佛目的可以使手段合理化。他们为神对付约伯的“诡诈”，在于他们断言约伯是罪人，因为他受苦。
英文原文
7. deceitfully--use fallacies to vindicate God in His dealings; as if the end justified the means. Their "deceitfulness" for God, against Job, was that they asserted he was a sinner, because he was a sufferer.
8
无标题
8. 偏待他（accept his person）——即偏待神；即在审判中因私人情面而偏袒一方。
为神争辩（contend for God）——即在审判之前，以谬论和偏见对付约伯（士6:31）。偏待断不能讨那不偏待人的神喜悦，案件的良善也不能为论证的不公开脱。
英文原文
8. accept his person--God's; that is, be partial for Him, as when a judge favors one party in a trial, because of personal considerations.
contend for God--namely, with fallacies and prepossessions against Job before judgment
(Jud 6:31).
Partiality can never please the impartial God, nor the goodness of the cause excuse the unfairness of the arguments.
9
无标题
9. 当祂查究你们和你们的论证之时，结局对你们会是好的吗？你们会被祂看作纯洁无私的吗？
欺哄（mock）——（加6:7）。更当译作：“你们能像欺骗人那样欺骗祂吗？”云云。
英文原文
9. Will the issue to you be good, when He searches out you and your arguments? Will you be regarded by Him as pure and disinterested?
mock--
(Ga 6:7).
Rather, "Can you deceive Him as one man?" &c.
10
无标题
10. 你们若暗中偏待人。（参伯13:8注释；诗82:1、2）。神能成功地为自己的作为辩明，不需要人那谬妄的论证。
英文原文
10. If ye do, though secretly, act partially. (See on
Job 13:8;
Ps 82:1, 2).
God can successfully vindicate His acts, and needs no fallacious argument of man.
11
无标题
11. 使你们惧怕？（make you afraid?）——即因奉祂的名用诡辩而惧怕（耶10:7、10）。

12
无标题
12. 记念（remembrances）——“格言式的箴言”，因易于记诵而得名。
如同灰烬（like unto ashes）——或作“灰烬的比喻”；轻贱虚无的意象（赛44:20）。
身体（bodies）——更当译作“堡垒”；泥土的堡垒不像石头的，容易摧毁；照样，他们借以藏身的箴言，当神显现责备他们对约伯的不公时，也不能庇护他们。
英文原文
12. remembrances--"proverbial maxims," so called because well remembered.
like unto ashes--or, "parables of ashes"; the image of lightness and nothingness
(Isa 44:20).
bodies--rather, "entrenchments"; those of clay, as opposed to those of stone, are easy to be destroyed; so the proverbs, behind which they entrench themselves, will not shelter them when God shall appear to reprove them for their injustice to Job.
13
无标题
13. 约伯愿免听他们的言辞,好把自己的愁苦尽情吐露
(Job 13:14),
无论后果如何。

(Job 13:14),
happen what will.
14
无标题
14. 一句谚语,意为:“我何必迫切地要救自己的命呢?”[EICHORN]。首句的喻象是一只野兽为了保全猎物而将其衔在牙间。第二句的喻象是人将所要保安全之物握在手中。
英文原文
14. A proverb for, "Why should I anxiously desire to save my life?" [EICHORN]. The image in the first clause is that of a wild beast, which in order to preserve his prey, carries it in his teeth. That in the second refers to men who hold in the hand what they want to keep secure.
15
无标题
15. in him——旁注或kərî如此读。但正文chətîb作“不”,与上下文及其他他说自己无望的经文最相合\n (Job 6:11; 7:21; 10:20; 19:10)。
“他虽杀我,我虽不再敢盼望,我仍要持定”等等,即“我愿在他面前为自己表白”,表明自己不是伪君子\n [UMBREIT 与 NOYES]。
英文原文

(Job 6:11; 7:21; 10:20; 19:10).
"Though He slay me, and I dare no more hope, yet I will maintain," &c., that is, "I desire to vindicate myself before Him," as not a hypocrite [UMBREIT and NOYES].
16
无标题
16. He——更宜作:“这事也已经为我(字面作‘为我的拯救性判无罪’)说话了,因为伪君子不会愿意(像我这样)来到他面前”[UMBREIT]。
(见
Job 13:15
末句)。
英文原文
16. He--rather, "This also already speaks in my behalf (literally, 'for my saving acquittal') for an hypocrite would not wish to come before Him" (as I do) [UMBREIT]. (See last clause of
Job 13:15).

英文原文
18. ordered--implying a constant preparation for defense in his confidence of innocence.
19
无标题
19. if等——更宜译作:“那么我就闭口不言,气绝而死”;即若有人能与我争辩并证明我为虚谎,我就无话可说。“我愿静默而死。”如同我们的“我愿以性命担保”[UMBREIT]。
英文原文
19. if, &c.--Rather, "Then would I hold my tongue and give up the ghost"; that is, if any one can contend with me and prove me false, I have no more to say. "I will be silent and die." Like our "I would stake my life on it" [UMBREIT].

sin?——单数:“我并不意识到一项特定的罪,遑论许多”[UMBREIT]。
英文原文
23. The catalogue of my sins ought to be great, to judge from the severity with which God ever anew crushes one already bowed down. Would that He would reckon them up! He then would see how much my calamities outnumber them.
