*3. “虚空的言语”，希伯来文。*他将以利法的责备反还给以利法（伯15:2）。
还说话（emboldeneth）——原文作：“什么事使你们厌倦以致与人争辩？”即：我说了什么惹动你们？云云[舒滕斯（SCHUTTENS）]。或更合乎第一句的译法：“你们为何劳累自己与人争辩呢？”[翁布雷特（UMBREIT）]。
英文原文
3. "Words of wind," Hebrew. He retorts upon Eliphaz his reproach
(Job 15:2).
emboldeneth--literally, "What wearies you so that ye contradict?" that is, What have I said to provoke you? &c. [SCHUTTENS]. Or, as better accords with the first clause, "Wherefore do ye weary yourselves contradicting?" [UMBREIT].

4. 堆积（heap up）——更当译作“集结（一支）言语的大军来攻击你们”。
摇……头（shake . . . head）——指嘲弄；原文的意思是点头，而非摇头；点头在我们这里并不像在东方那样是轻蔑的手势（赛37:22；耶18:16；太27:39）。
英文原文
4. heap up--rather, "marshal together (an army of) words against you."
shake . . . head--in mockery; it means nodding, rather than shaking; nodding is not with us, as in the East, a gesture of scorn
(Isa 37:22; Jer 18:16; Mt 27:39).

简体中文
5. 用……口坚固（strengthen . . . with . . . mouth）——苦涩的讽刺。暗指以利法所夸耀的“安慰”（伯15:11）。与用心——即真正的安慰——来坚固相对。译作：“我（像你们一样）也能用口坚固”，即用无心的空话：“我嘴唇的动（仅是嘴唇的安慰）也能安慰（像你们那样）”[翁布雷特（UMBREIT）]。“诚心的劝诫”（箴27:9）正与之相反。
英文原文
5. strengthen . . . with . . . mouth--bitter irony. In allusion to Eliphaz' boasted "consolations"
(Job 15:11).
Opposed to strengthening with the heart, that is, with real consolation. Translate, "I also (like you) could strengthen with the mouth," that is, with heartless talk: "And the moving of my lips (mere lip comfort) could console (in the same fashion as you do)" [UMBREIT]. "Hearty counsel"
(Pr 27:9)
is the opposite.

6. 得舒解（eased）——原文作：“有什么（从我苦难中）从我身上离去？”
英文原文
6. eased--literally, "What (portion of my sufferings) goes from me?"

7. 但如今（But now）——更当译作：“唉！”
祂（he）——指神。
群众（company）——更当译作：“见证人之群”，即那些能证明他无辜的人（他的儿女、仆人等）。同一希伯来文在伯16:8也是如此译。翁布雷特（UMBREIT）把他的“见证人之群”解作他自己，因为，哀哉！他并无别的见证人为他作证。但这解释过于隐晦。
英文原文
7. But now--rather, "ah!"
he--God.
company--rather, "band of witnesses," namely, those who could attest his innocence (his children, servants, &c.). So the same Hebrew is translated in
Job 16:8.
UMBREIT makes his "band of witnesses," himself, for, alas! he had no other witness for him. But this is too recondite.

8. 皱缩……（filled . . . with wrinkles）——更当译作（同一希伯来文字在伯22:16英文译本作“砍倒”）：“你捆绑了我——你的见证”（除了剪除我的“见证人之群”，伯16:7），即以疼痛使我无法正当地证明我的无辜。但另一个“见证”起来反对他，即他的“消瘦”或身体的悲惨状况，被朋友们解释为他有罪的明证。希伯来文的字根意思是“拉到一起”，由此引申出“捆绑”或“束缚”的双重含义，在叙利亚文中则为“起皱纹”。
消瘦（leanness）——也含“谎言”之意；暗示它是“假见证”。
英文原文
8. filled . . . with wrinkles--Rather (as also the same Hebrew word in
Job 22:16;
English Version, "cut down"), "thou hast fettered me, thy witness" (besides cutting off my "band of witnesses,"
Job 16:7),
that is, hast disabled me by pains from properly attesting my innocence. But another "witness" arises against him, namely, his "leanness" or wretched state of body, construed by his friends into a proof of his guilt. The radical meaning of the Hebrew is "to draw together," whence flow the double meaning "to bind" or "fetter," and in Syriac, "to wrinkle."
leanness--meaning also "lie"; implying it was a "false witness."

9. 取自野兽的意象。神也是如此被描绘（伯10:16）。
恨我的（who hateth me）——更当译作：“并且紧追我不舍”。约伯不会把“恨”归给神（诗50:22）。
我的仇敌（mine enemy）——更当译作：“他磨利……云云，如同仇敌”（诗7:12）。如敌人一般向我怒目而视（伯13:24）。
英文原文
9. Image from a wild beast. So God is represented
(Job 10:16).
who hateth me--rather, "and pursues me hard." Job would not ascribe "hatred" to God
(Ps 50:22).
mine enemy--rather, "he sharpens, &c., as an enemy"
(Ps 7:12).
Darts wrathful glances at me, like a foe
(Job 13:24).

简体中文
10. 张口（gaped）——不是要吞吃，而是要嘲弄他。为使他苦杯满溢，朋友的戏弄（伯16:10）加在神敌对的对待（伯16:9）之上。
打……腮（smitten . . . cheek）——比喻轻蔑的凌辱（哀3:30；太5:39）。
聚集（gathered themselves）——“一致地结党”[舒滕斯（SCHUTTENS）]。
英文原文
10. gaped--not in order to devour, but to mock him. To fill his cup of misery, the mockery of his friends
(Job 16:10)
is added to the hostile treatment from God
(Job 16:9).
smitten . . . cheek--figurative for contemptuous abuse
(La 3:30; Mt 5:39).
gathered themselves--"conspired unanimously" [SCHUTTENS].

11. 恶人（the ungodly）——即他那些自称朋友的人，他们以不和善的言语逼迫他。
交出我（turned me over）——原文作：“把我头朝下摔在恶人手中”。
英文原文
11. the ungodly--namely, his professed friends, who persecuted him with unkind speeches.
turned me over--literally, "cast me headlong into the hands of the wicked."

12. 我安逸（I was at ease）——指过去的日子（伯1:1-3）。
揪住我的颈项（by my neck）——如野兽抓住猎物（参伯10:16）。
摔破（shaken）——猛力；与从前的“安逸”成对比（诗102:10）。把我（再）设立起来。
箭靶（mark）——（伯7:20；哀3:12）。神总让我恢复力量，好不断折磨我。
英文原文
12. I was at ease--in past times
(Job 1:1-3).
by my neck--as an animal does its prey (so
Job 10:16).
shaken--violently; in contrast to his former "ease"
(Ps 102:10).
Set me up (again).
mark--
(Job 7:20; La 3:12).
God lets me always recover strength, so as to torment me ceaselessly.
13

13. his archers——延续
Job 16:12
的喻象。神以我为他的“靶子”,三位朋友随之而来,他们的话如利箭伤人。
gall——指代要害部位;即肝
(La 2:11)。
英文原文
13. his archers--The image of
Job 16:12
is continued. God, in making me His "mark," is accompanied by the three friends, whose words wound like sharp arrows.
gall--put for a vital part; so the liver
(La 2:11).

14. 喻象取自在城墙上破口攻城
(2Ki 14:13)。
a giant——勇猛的战士。
英文原文
14. The image is from storming a fortress by making breaches in the walls
(2Ki 14:13).
a giant--a mighty warrior.
15

简体中文
15. sewed——表示丧服紧贴身体;那是一件有袖口、紧缝于身的麻布袋。
horn——喻象取自有角之畜,它们兴奋时以角抓地。角为能力的象征\n (1Ki 22:11)。
此处:in the dust——就约伯而言,指他从昔日尊大之降卑。扑倒在尘土中是哀伤的记号;此处将此意与兴奋绝望之意相连——后者以有角之兽的狂暴来描述。黎巴嫩的德鲁兹人至今仍以角为饰。
英文原文
15. sewed--denoting the tight fit of the mourning garment; it was a sack with armholes closely sewed to the body.
horn--image from horned cattle, which when excited tear the earth with their horns. The horn was the emblem of power
(1Ki 22:11).
Here, it is
in the dust--which as applied to Job denotes his humiliation from former greatness. To throw one's self in the dust was a sign of mourning; this idea is here joined with that of excited despair, depicted by the fury of a horned beast. The Druses of Lebanon still wear horns as an ornament.

简体中文
16. foul——更宜作“发红”,即涨红而发热[UMBREIT 与 NOYES]。
shadow of death——即因众多眼泪而昏暗\n (La 5:17)。
约伯此处指琐法隐含的指控\n (Job 11:14)。
几乎相同的话也用于耶稣基督\n (Isa 53:9)。
照样,上文
Job 16:10
也对应于耶稣基督的描述\n (Ps 22:13; Isa 50:6, 而 Job 16:4 对应于 Ps 22:7)。
唯有他实现了约伯所渴慕的,即外在行为之义与内在奉献之洁。耶稣基督作为人的代表,在旧约每一个神仆身上都有某种程度的预表。
英文原文
16. foul--rather, "is red," that is, flushed and heated [UMBREIT and NOYES].
shadow of death--that is, darkening through many tears
(La 5:17).
Job here refers to Zophar's implied charge
(Job 11:14).
Nearly the same words occur as to Jesus Christ
(Isa 53:9).
So
Job 16:10
above answers to the description of Jesus Christ
(Ps 22:13; Isa 50:6, and Job 16:4 to Ps 22:7).
He alone realized what Job aspired after, namely, outward righteousness of acts and inward purity of devotion. Jesus Christ as the representative man is typified in some degree in every servant of God in the Old Testament.

简体中文
18. my blood——即我所不该受的苦难。他将自己比作一个被谋杀者,地拒绝吸收他的血,直到他为报血仇\n (Ge 4:10, 11; Eze 24:1, 8; Isa 26:21)。
阿拉伯人说天上的甘露不会降在被无辜之血所润泽之处(参\n 2Sa 1:21)。
no place——无安息之处。“愿我的呼求永不止息!”愿它传扬开去!本节的“地”与“天”\n (Job 16:19)
成对比。愿我的无辜在人中间如现在在神面前一样为人皆知!
英文原文
18. my blood--that is, my undeserved suffering. He compares himself to one murdered, whose blood the earth refuses to drink up until he is avenged
(Ge 4:10, 11; Eze 24:1, 8; Isa 26:21).
The Arabs say that the dew of heaven will not descend on a spot watered with innocent blood (compare
2Sa 1:21).
no place--no resting-place. "May my cry never stop!" May it go abroad! "Earth" in this verse in antithesis to "heaven"
(Job 16:19).
May my innocence be as well-known to man as it is even now to God!
19
无标题
简体中文
19. Also now——甚至如今,当我在地上如此被人误解之时,在天上的神仍察知我的无辜。
record——希伯来文作“在高处”;希伯来文作“我的见证人”。在一切急躁之中,约伯仍然信靠神。
英文原文
19. Also now--Even now, when I am so greatly misunderstood on earth, God in heaven is sensible of my innocence.
record--Hebrew, "in the high places"; Hebrew, "my witness." Amidst all his impatience, Job still trusts in God.

20. 希伯来文作“是那嘲笑我的人”;更有力地作:“那戏弄我的——我的朋友!”这是刺心的矛盾[UMBREIT]。惟有神仍可作他为无辜作证之处;他以泪眼哀求此事。
英文原文
20. Hebrew, "are my scorners"; more forcibly, "my mockers--my friends!" A heart-cutting paradox [UMBREIT]. God alone remains to whom he can look for attestation of his innocence; plaintively with tearful eye, he supplicates for this.
21

简体中文
21. one——更宜作:“他”(神)。“哦,愿他为(一个)人(即我)向神辩屈。”约伯奇妙地说:“神必须扶助我以抵抗神;因他使我受苦,他也惟独知道我无幸”[UMBREIT]。照样,神扶助雅各摔跤抵挡他自己(参\n Job 23:6; Ge 32:25)。
在耶稣基督里的神确实为人与神辩屈\n (Ro 8:26, 27)。
as a man——字面作“人子”。这是耶稣基督代求的预表——约伯所久渴的恩赐\n (Job 9:33),
尽管他自己话中为万世所设计的属灵深意,他自己所明白的甚少\n (Ps 80:17)。
for his neighbour——希伯来文作“朋友”。约伯自己\n (Job 42:8)
也曾为他的“朋友们”——虽是“那戏弄他的”\n (Job 16:20)——代求;照样,人子耶稣基督\n (Lu 23:34);
“为朋友”\n (Joh 15:13-15)。
英文原文
21. one--rather, "He" (God). "Oh, that He would plead for a man (namely, me) against God." Job quaintly says, "God must support me against God; for He makes me to suffer, and He alone knows me to be innocent" [UMBREIT]. So God helped Jacob in wrestling against Himself (compare
Job 23:6; Ge 32:25).
God in Jesus Christ does plead with God for man
(Ro 8:26, 27).
as a man--literally, "the Son of man." A prefiguring of the advocacy of Jesus Christ--a boon longed for by Job
(Job 9:33),
though the spiritual pregnancy of his own words, designed for all ages, was but little understood by him
(Ps 80:17).
for his neighbour--Hebrew, "friend." Job himself
(Job 42:8)
pleaded as intercessor for his "friends," though "his scorners"
(Job 16:20);
so Jesus Christ the Son of man
(Lu 23:34);
"for friends"
(Joh 15:13-15).
22

22. few——字面作“有数之年”,即少,与无数相对\n (Ge 34:30)。
英文原文
22. few--literally, "years of number," that is, few, opposed to numberless
(Ge 34:30).
