旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第29章

Job continued his discourse:
"How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,
when his lamp shone upon my head and by his light I walked through darkness!
Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God's intimate friendship blessed my house,
when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
"When I went to the gate of the city and took my seat in the public square,
the young men saw me and stepped aside and the old men rose to their feet;
the chief men refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands;
the voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
Whoever heard me spoke well of me, and those who saw me commended me,
because I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to assist him.
The man who was dying blessed me; I made the widow's heart sing.
I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was my robe and my turban.
I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.
I was a father to the needy; I took up the case of the stranger.
I broke the fangs of the wicked and snatched the victims from their teeth.
"I thought, 'I will die in my own house, my days as numerous as the grains of sand.
My roots will reach to the water, and the dew will lie all night on my branches.
My glory will remain fresh in me, the bow ever new in my hand.'
"Men listened to me expectantly, waiting in silence for my counsel.
After I had spoken, they spoke no more; my words fell gently on their ears.
They waited for me as for showers and drank in my words as the spring rain.
When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it; the light of my face was precious to them.
I chose the way for them and sat as their chief; I dwelt as a king among his troops; I was like one who comforts mourners.
约伯记第廿九章   第 29 章 

  伯 29:6> 原来约伯拥有的是那么多…… 

  29:6 奶和橄榄油是农业社会中物质丰裕的标志。约伯的羊群和橄榄树那么多,似乎他的一切都富足有余。 

  伯 29:7-17> 约伯是什么人,能为百姓断案? 

  29:7-17 这段有关约伯工作的描述,使许多解经家认为约伯是位法官。在约伯的年代里,一个法官既是巿议员也是行政官员,协助管理社区,处理纠纷。在多数情况下,这不是全职而是兼职的工作,是根据个人在该地区的地位和声望而给予的职位。 

  伯 29:7-25> 数算自己的成就不可以吗?这要看…… 

  29:7-25 约伯在夸耀自己过去的成就,回忆往昔的好行为来回答朋友对他的指责。约伯的整个对话显示出,他已离骄傲不远了,这是很危险的。当我们做得对时,特别容易坠入骄傲的陷阱里。骄傲使我们认为自己比实际上的自己更出色,这就把我们与神隔开了。紧接其后的倾向便是相信自己的观点,导致犯其他的罪。数算过去的行为并不是错,但最好是数算神给我们的恩典。这会帮助我们避免陷入骄傲之中。──《灵修版圣经注释》
