爾於上帝前、自稱為義、爾又言、雖不犯罪、亦無所裨、斯言也、豈合乎理。

“你以为有理，或以为你的公义胜于神的公义，

“你以为这话有理，说：‘我在上帝面前是公义的。’

“你以为这话有理，说：‘我在神面前是公义的。’

“你在上帝面前自以为义，你认为这合理吗？

“你说：‘我在神面前更显为义’，你自以为这话有理吗？

你以為有理，或以為你的公義勝於神的公義，

「你以為這話有理，說：『我在上帝面前是公義的。』

「你以為這話有理，說：『我在神面前是公義的。』

「你在上帝面前自以為義，你認為這合理嗎？

“你說：‘我在神面前更顯為義’，你自以為這話有理嗎？

『你以為這樣說有理，你才說：「我的正義勝於上帝」；

爾以為有理、自謂我之義、愈於上帝之義乎、

爾於天主前、自稱為義、或作爾言我義於天主又言我不犯罪亦何所裨、較犯罪有何所益、爾以為此言合乎理乎、

“ Do you think this is just? You say,‘ I am in the right, not God.’

“ Job, do you think it’s fair for you to say,‘ I am the one who is right, not God’?

“ Do you think this to be just? Do you say,‘ It is my right before God,’

“ Do you think it is right for you to claim,‘ I am righteous before God’?

Do you think it is just when you say,“ I am righteous before God”?

“ Do you think this is in accordance with justice? Do you say,‘ My righteousness is more than God’s’?

“ Do you think this is right? Do you say,‘ My righteousness is more than God’s’?

Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s,

Do you think it is just when you say,“ I am righteous before God”?

Thinkest thou this to be right,[ that] thou saidst, My righteousness[ is] more than God’s?

“ Do you think this to be just: when you say,‘ My right before God.’

“ Do you think this to be your right, or do you say,‘ My righteousness is more than God’s,’

吾語汝、出言妄、必被鞫於審判日、何也、因言而義見稱、亦因言而罪見擬、○

何上帝擊我、如風之暴、災罹旡妄、不一而足。

爾豈可廢棄我命、自以為義、而以不義之名委我。

然我行無不義、祈無不誠。

主曰、惡哉僕也、即爾言、我擬爾、既知我嚴、未置者取之、未播者穫之、

爾明知罪我為無辜、而人莫敢誰何。

全能之上帝、不以直道待我、俾我困於心、我指之而發誓、上帝假我以年、一息尚存、口不出惡言、舌不道非義、我斷不以爾言為然、雖死亦必不以吾為不善。兢兢執義不敢稍失、畢生所為、內省不疚。

約百嘗曰、我乃義、上帝不以直道待我、
