19:1 约伯回答说，
Then Job answered and said,
19:2 你们搅扰我的心，用言语压碎我，要到几时呢。ⅶ
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
19:3 你们这十次羞辱我。你们苦待我也不以为耻。
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
19:4 果真我有错，这错乃是在我。
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
19:5 你们果然要向我夸大，以我的羞辱为证指责我。
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
19:6 就该知道是神倾覆我，用网罗围绕我。
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
19:7 我因委曲呼叫，却不蒙应允。我呼求，却不得公断。
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
19:8 神用篱笆拦住我的道路，使我不得经过。又使我的路径黑暗。
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
19:9 他剥去我的荣光，摘去我头上的冠冕。
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
19:10 他在四围攻击我，我便归于死亡，将我的指望如树拔出来。
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
19:11 他的忿怒向我发作，以我为敌人。
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
19:12 他的军旅一齐上来，修筑战路攻击我。在我帐棚的四围安营。
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
19:13 他把我的弟兄隔在远处，使我所认识的，全然与我生疏。
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
19:14 我的亲戚与我断绝。我的密友都忘记我。
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
19:15 在我家寄居的，和我的使女都以我为外人。我在他们眼中看为外邦人。
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
19:16 我呼唤仆人，虽用口求他，他还是不回答。
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
19:17 我口的气味，我妻子厌恶。我的恳求，我同胞也憎嫌。
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.
19:18 连小孩子也藐视我。我若起来，他们都嘲笑我。
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19:19 我的密友都憎恶我。我平日所爱的人向我翻脸。
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19:20 我的皮肉紧贴骨头。我只剩牙皮逃脱了。
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
19:21 我朋友阿，可怜我。可怜我。因为神的手攻击我。
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
19:22 你们为什么彷佛神逼迫我，吃我的肉还以为不足呢。
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
19:23 惟愿我的言语现在写上，都记录在书上。
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
19:24 用铁笔镌刻，用铅灌在磐石上，直存到永远。
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
19:25 我知道我的救赎主活着，末了必站立在地上。
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
19:26 我这皮肉灭绝之后，我必在肉体之外得见神。
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
19:27 我自己要见他，亲眼要看他，并不像外人。我的心肠在我里面消灭了。
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
19:28 你们若说，我们逼迫他要何等地重呢。惹事的根乃在乎他。
But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
19:29 你们就当惧怕刀剑。因为忿怒惹动刀剑的刑罚，使你们知道有报应（原文作审判）。
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
约伯记19参考
你指出别人的错误时常出于甚么动机？是控诉、羞辱、出气？还是为了他的益处？
19:3-5 指出别人的错误和罪很容易。约伯的朋友指责他犯罪，是为了让他有罪咎感，而不是鼓励或指正他。当我们要告诫他人时，必须肯定我们的出发点是因为爱他，而不是因为我们被惹恼、被打搅或者为责备而责备。
神允许撒但攻击约伯，因此约伯受苦根源在神，这说法对吗？
19:6 当神视约伯为他的朋友（1:8, 2:3）并高度评价他的时候，约伯却感到神视他如敌；他在困苦患难中看错了对象。事实上约伯的敌人是撒但，而不是神。由于大部分以色列人都强调终极缘由，因此他们认为善与恶均来自神，甚至认为人要为自己的命运负责。其实我们经受的许多苦难，大都来自散布在这世界上的邪恶势力。在第7节，约伯继续呼求，以期神能听到。
约伯所说的“救赎主”指谁？
19:25-27 这里反映出约伯非常肯定自己是无辜的。“救赎主”在古以色列是指家族中有责任履行以下义务的人：为穷亲属赎回卖了的地、赎回卖身给外邦人为奴的亲属、为亲属主持公道及为亲属立后等；约伯用这个名词指出他现在虽然没有机会辩白，但最终一定有人（可以是神自己）会为他翻案，令他沉冤得雪。另一方面，虽然神目前好像避不见他，他也有信心，自己最终一定可以面对面见到神。。
“在肉体之外得见神”是指甚么？
19:26 约伯说：“我必在肉体之外得见神。”以约伯的情况，他似乎不可能在肉身之外见到神。但这正显出约伯的信心！他相信神的正义将得胜，即使需要行复活的奇迹，也会在所不辞。
