Job 15:1-35.
SECOND SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ.
2
无标题
简体中文
2. 智慧人（a wise man）——约伯自称正是这样的人。
虚妄的知识（vain knowledge）——希伯来文作“如风的知识”，原文作“属风的”（伯8:2）。在传1:14中，希伯来文作“捕风”，表示追求虚妄之事。
东风（east wind）——比前文的“风”更猛烈，因在该地区东风是最具毁灭性的风（赛27:8）。故此处意指虚妄的暴行。
肚腹（belly）——指内里，即胸怀（箴18:8）。
英文原文
2. a wise man--which Job claims to be.
vain knowledge--Hebrew, "windy knowledge"; literally, "of wind"
(Job 8:2).
In
Ec 1:14,
Hebrew, "to catch wind," expresses to strive for what is vain.
east wind--stronger than the previous "wind," for in that region the east wind is the most destructive of winds
(Isa 27:8).
Thus here,--empty violence.
belly--the inward parts, the breast
(Pr 18:8).

简体中文
4. 敬畏（fear）——即对神的敬畏（伯4:6；诗2:11）。
祷告（prayer）——即默想，如诗104:34；故灵修。以利法推论说：如果你的看法正确——即神不理会义人的苦难、却使恶人兴旺——那么一切敬虔的灵修都必断绝。
英文原文
4. fear--reverence for God
(Job 4:6; Ps 2:11).
prayer--meditation, in
Ps 104:34;
so devotion. If thy views were right, reasons Eliphaz, that God disregards the afflictions of the righteous and makes the wicked to prosper, all devotion would be at an end.

5. 你自己言语中的诡辩正证明你的罪。
英文原文
5. The sophistry of thine own speeches proves thy guilt.

6. 敬虔人不会说出这样的话。
英文原文
6. No pious man would utter such sentiments.
7
无标题
简体中文
7. 即：你是智慧的化身吗？智慧在山岭之前已存在；即神的永恒之子（箴8:25；诗90:2）。你在亚当之前就已存在吗？人存在得越早，便越接近永恒的智慧。
英文原文
7. That is, Art thou wisdom personified? Wisdom existed before the hills; that is, the eternal Son of God
(Pr 8:25; Ps 90:2).
Wast thou in existence before Adam? The farther back one existed, the nearer he was to the Eternal Wisdom.
8
无标题
简体中文
8. 隐秘（secret）——更当译作：“你曾在神的隐密议会中作旁听者吗？”希伯来文本意指东方议士们通常所坐的长沙发上的靠垫。神的仆人得以知晓神的隐秘（诗25:14；创18:17；约15:15）。
限制（restrain）——更当译作：你是否从那里（即从神的隐密议会）取走，或借来你的智慧？以利法在此（伯15:8、9）将约伯的话反还给他自己（伯12:2、3；13:2）。
英文原文
8. secret--rather, "Wast thou a listener in the secret council of God?" The Hebrew means properly the cushions of a divan on which counsellors in the East usually sit. God's servants are admitted to God's secrets
(Ps 25:14; Ge 18:17; Joh 15:15).
restrain--Rather, didst thou take away, or borrow, thence (namely, from the divine secret council) thy wisdom? Eliphaz in this
(Job 15:8, 9)
retorts Job's words upon himself
(Job 12:2, 3; 13:2).
9
无标题
简体中文
9. 在我们身上（in us）——或作“与我们同在”，希伯来用语，意为“我们晓得”。
英文原文
9. in us--or, "with us," Hebraism for "we are aware of."
10
无标题
简体中文
10. 站在我们这一边的，有老年人，他们与我们同感。约伯已承认智慧在他们那里（伯12:12）。以利法似乎自己就比约伯年长；也许另外两位也是如此（伯32:6）。约伯在伯30:1中并非指他三位朋友；故此并不构成反对。阿拉伯人以高龄为荣。
英文原文
10. On our side, thinking with us are the aged. Job had admitted that wisdom is with them
(Job 12:12).
Eliphaz seems to have been himself older than Job; perhaps the other two were also
(Job 32:6). Job, in
Job 30:1,
does not refer to his three friends; it therefore forms no objection. The Arabs are proud of fulness of years.
11
无标题
简体中文
11. 安慰（consolations）——即以利法作为安慰的责备而陈述、并在伯15:14中重申的启示。
隐秘（secret）——你有什么隐秘的智慧与安慰之源，使你藐视我所建议的吗？（伯15:8）。更可能源自另一希伯来文字根：我所发的恩慈或温和之言，被你看为无价值吗？[翁布雷特（UMBREIT）]。
英文原文
11. consolations--namely, the revelation which Eliphaz had stated as a consolatory reproof to Job, and which he repeats in
Job 15:14.
secret--Hast thou some secret wisdom and source of consolation, which makes thee disregard those suggested by me?
(Job 15:8).
Rather, from a different Hebrew root, Is the word of kindness or gentleness addressed by me treated by thee as valueless? [UMBREIT].
12

12. 眨眼（wink）——即你的眼为何显出骄傲？（箴6:13；诗35:19）。

(Pr 6:13; Ps 35:19).
13

14. 以利法实质上重述了
Job 4:17
的启示,却采用约伯自己的话(见关于
Job 14:1
“妇人所生”的注释),以其人之道还治其人之身。
英文原文
14. Eliphaz repeats the revelation
(Job 4:17)
in substance, but using Job's own words (see on
Job 14:1,
on "born of a woman") to strike him with his own weapons.
15

15. 重申
Job 4:18
之意;那里的“仆人”此处为“圣者”,即圣天使。
heavens——字面之意,或与“天使”相对应(见

及
Job 25:5)。
英文原文
15. Repeated from
Job 4:18;
"servants" there are "saints" here; namely, holy angels.
heavens--literally, or else answering to "angels" (see on
Job 4:18,
and
Job 25:5).

(Ps 14:3; 53:3),

17. 与约伯的立场\n (Job 12:6,
等)——即恶人在今世最为兴旺——直接相反,以利法诉诸(1)自己的经历,(2)古人的智慧。
英文原文
17. In direct contradiction of Job's position
(Job 12:6,
&c.), that the lot of the wicked was the most prosperous here, Eliphaz appeals (1) to his own experience, (2) to the wisdom of the ancients.

19
无标题
简体中文
19. 以利法自夸其祖先向来据有这地,未与外邦人混杂,这是地道的阿拉伯人口吻[UMBREIT]。他的话旨在反对约伯\n (Job 9:24);
在他们的事上,“地”未“交在恶人手中”。他指的是神所命定的分地\n (Ge 10:5; 25:32)。
他也可能暗示约伯的见解因邻近示巴人和迦勒底人而从原本的纯正中受了污染[ROSENMULLER]。
英文原文
19. Eliphaz speaks like a genuine Arab when he boasts that his ancestors had ever possessed the land unmixed with foreigners [UMBREIT]. His words are intended to oppose Job's
(Job 9:24);
"the earth" in their case was not "given into the hand of the wicked." He refers to the division of the earth by divine appointment
(Ge 10:5; 25:32).
Also he may insinuate that Job's sentiments had been corrupted from original purity by his vicinity to the Sabeans and Chaldeans [ROSENMULLER].

无标题
简体中文
20. travaileth——更宜作:“自己发抖”,虽无真实的危险[UMBREIT]。
and the number of his years等——这就说明恶人为何不住地发抖;即因他不知生命何时必须终止。
英文原文
20. travaileth--rather, "trembleth of himself," though there is no real danger [UMBREIT].
and the number of his years, &c.--This gives the reason why the wicked man trembles continually; namely, because he knows not the moment when his life must end.

21. 邪恶的良心在每一个突如其来的声响中都生警惧,纵然在太平(“兴旺”)之时、并无真实危险\n (Le 26:36; Pr 28:1; 2Ki 7:6)。
英文原文
21. An evil conscience conceives alarm at every sudden sound, though it be in a time of peace ("prosperity"), when there is no real danger

时意思相反。
ready at his hand——阿拉伯语成语,指一物之完全齐备、全然在前,如在手中。

英文原文
27. The well-nourished body of the rebel is the sign of his prosperity.
collops--masses of fat. He pampers and fattens himself with sensual indulgences; hence his rebellion against God
(De 32:15; 1Sa 2:29).
