Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1When Job answered, and said:
1約伯 回答說：
2Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?
2你們真是子民哪， 你們死亡，智慧也就滅沒了。
3I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?
3但我也有聰明，與你們一樣， 並非不及你們。 你們所說的，誰不知道呢？
4He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.
4我這求告上帝、蒙他應允的人 竟成了朋友所譏笑的； 公義完全人竟受了人的譏笑。
5The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.
5安逸的人心裏藐視災禍； 這災禍常常等待滑腳的人。
6The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:
6強盜的帳棚興旺， 惹上帝的人穩固， 上帝 多將財物 送到他們手中。
7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.
7你且問走獸，走獸必指教你； 又問空中的飛鳥，飛鳥必告訴你；
8Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.
8或與地說話，地必指教你； 海中的魚也必向你說明。
9Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?
9看這一切， 誰不知道是耶和華的手做成的呢？
10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
10凡活物的生命和人類的氣息都在他手中。
11Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?
11耳朵豈不試驗言語， 正如上膛嘗食物嗎？
12In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.
12年老的有智慧； 壽高的有知識。
13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
13在上帝有智慧和能力； 他有謀略和知識。
14If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open.
14他拆毀的，就不能再建造； 他捆住人，便不得開釋。
15If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.
15他把水留住，水便枯乾； 他再發出水來，水就翻地。
16With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver, and him that is deceived.
16在他有能力和智慧， 被誘惑的與誘惑人的都是屬他。
17He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.
17他把謀士剝衣擄去， 又使審判官變成愚人。
18He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord.
18他放鬆君王的綁， 又用帶子捆他們的腰。
19He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles.
19他把祭司剝衣擄去， 又使有能的人傾敗。
20He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.
20他廢去忠信人的講論， 又奪去老人的聰明。
21He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed.
21他使君王蒙羞被辱， 放鬆有力之人的腰帶。
22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth up to light the shadow of death.
22他將深奧的事從黑暗中彰顯， 使死蔭顯為光明。
23He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown.
23他使邦國興旺而又毀滅； 他使邦國開廣而又擄去。
24He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way.
24他將地上民中首領的聰明奪去， 使他們在荒廢無路之地漂流；
25They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk.
25他們無光，在黑暗中摸索， 又使他們東倒西歪，像醉酒的人一樣。
