旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第22章

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
约伯记第廿二章   第 22 章 

  伯 22 章 > 事不过三,以利法最后的尝试── 

  22 章 这是以利法的第三次,也是最后一次和约伯对话。在第一次的对话里( 4-5 章),以利法提到约伯的好行为,并且小心地暗示他需要为某些罪而忏悔。这次他并没有说出新的东西来,只是说得更具体而已。他始终不能改变他的信念,即苦难是神对人恶行的惩罚,所以他提出了约伯可能犯的几条罪。以利法并非要毁灭约伯,在其演说的结尾他保证,如果约伯肯承认自己的罪并忏悔,便会得到平安和复兴。 

  伯 22:12-14> 神在天上,祂能看见我吗?世上那么多人,神如何顾得过来? 

  22:12-14 以利法声称约伯把神看小了。他批评约伯认为神离世界太远,无法照顾他。以利法说,如果约伯知道神对他的看顾,他便不会轻视自己的罪了。以利法的观点是对的:因为确实有些人认为神离他很远,不会注意到我们所做的一切,所以不在乎自己的罪。但他的观点对约伯并不适用。 

  伯 22:21-30> 你同意以利法关于悔改归神的言论吗? 

  22:21-30 约伯的朋友几次表现出他们掌握了神的部分真理,却不能准确地将其运用到生活中。以利法就是这样,他对忏悔作了一个漂亮的总结。以利法的观点是对的,我们犯了罪就要求神的赦免。但他的说法不适用于约伯身上,因约伯已经寻求了神的赦免( 7:20-21 ; 9:20 ; 13:23 ),并且他一直与神有密切的关系。──《灵修版圣经注释》
