约伯记37 Job

章:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42

37:1 因此我心战兢,从原处移动。

At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

37:2 听阿,神轰轰的声音,是他口中所发的响声。

Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

37:3 他发响声震遍天下,发电光闪到地极。

He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

37:4 随后人听见有雷声轰轰,大发威严,雷电接连不断。

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

37:5 神发出奇妙的雷声,他行大事,我们不能测透。

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

37:6 他对雪说,要降在地上,对大雨和暴雨也是这样说。

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

37:7 他封住各人的手,叫所造的万人,都晓得他的作为。

He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

37:8 百兽进入穴中,卧在洞内。

Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

37:9 暴风出于南宫。寒冷出于北方。

Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

37:10 神嘘气成冰。宽阔之水也都凝结。

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

37:11 他使密云盛满水气,布散电光之云。

Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

37:12 这云是藉他的指引游行旋转,得以在全地面上,行他一切所吩咐的,

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

37:13 或为责罚,或为润地,或为施行慈爱。

He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

37:14 约伯阿,你要留心听,要站立思想神奇妙的作为。

Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

37:15 神如何吩咐这些,如何使云中的电光照耀,你知道吗。

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

37:16 云彩如何浮于空中,那知识全备者奇妙的作为,你知道吗。

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

37:17 南风使地寂静,你的衣服就如火热,你知道吗。

How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

37:18 你岂能与神同铺穹苍吗。这穹苍坚硬,如同铸成的镜子。

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

37:19 我们愚昧不能陈说。请你指教我们该对他说什么话。

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

37:20 人岂可说,我愿与他说话。岂有人自愿灭亡吗。

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

37:21 现在有云遮蔽,人不得见穹苍的光亮。但风吹过,天又发晴。

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

37:22 金光出于北方,在神那里有可怕的威严。

Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

37:23 论到全能者,我们不能测度。他大有能力,有公平和大义,必不苦待人。

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

37:24 所以,人敬畏他。凡自以为心中有智慧的人,他都不顾念。

Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

约伯记37参考

我怎么从未听过神对我说话?别人真的听到了吗?我怀疑……
37:2 没有甚么能与神相比的,他的权柄和存在令人生畏,他说话我们必须听。我们常替神说话,就像约伯的朋友那样,把他的话放在嘴边,常以为他就在我们身旁,因而不理会他,也把他的沉默解释为他不在或不注意。但神是关心我们的。他在掌权,他也会说话。我们要时时准备接受神的信息,他会通过圣经和圣灵的提醒,通过日常生活中的人、事物跟我们讲话。

以利户得出了甚么结论?对约伯有帮助吗?
37:21-24 以利户说约伯对神的信心远比知道其痛苦的原因重要得多,他以这真理结束了演说。他几乎可以帮助到约伯的时候,却走错了路。在这关键时刻,神介入了讨论,从这重要的真理中作出正确的结论(参38章)。

茫茫宇宙,神要掌管的事情太多了,我的事算甚么?他也管?
37:23 以利户强调神在大自然中的主权,藉以提醒他也掌管我们的生活。神在掌权;他指引、保护、维持创造的秩序。尽管我们看不见,但在天上的神的确掌管著人间的道德和一切事务。花些时间去观察神的创造中那些宏伟和深奥的部分,我们会记起他在我们生活中每一方面所拥有的影响。
