旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第33章

"But now, Job, listen to my words; pay attention to everything I say.
I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue.
My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know.
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Answer me then, if you can; prepare yourself and confront me.
I am just like you before God; I too have been taken from clay.
No fear of me should alarm you, nor should my hand be heavy upon you.
"But you have said in my hearing--I heard the very words--
'I am pure and without sin; I am clean and free from guilt.
Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy.
He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.'
"But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than man.
Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man's words?
For God does speak--now one way, now another--though man may not perceive it.
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds,
he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,
to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,
to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.
Or a man may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in his bones,
so that his very being finds food repulsive and his soul loathes the choicest meal.
His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his bones, once hidden, now stick out.
His soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the messengers of death.
"Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,
to be gracious to him and say, 'Spare him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him'--
then his flesh is renewed like a child's; it is restored as in the days of his youth.
He prays to God and finds favor with him, he sees God's face and shouts for joy; he is restored by God to his righteous state.
Then he comes to men and says, 'I sinned, and perverted what was right, but I did not get what I deserved.
He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.'
"God does all these things to a man--twice, even three times--
to turn back his soul from the pit, that the light of life may shine on him.
"Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, for I want you to be cleared.
But if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."
约伯记第卅三章   第 33 章 

  伯 33:13> 每个人都想知道一生的命运,假如真的都知道,情形会如何? 

  33:13 得知事情的真相给人带来了安全感。很自然地,我们想知道生活中发生的事情。约伯想知道发生了什么事,为什么他会受苦,在前几章中,我们感到了他的挫折。以利户声称自己能解答约伯最大的问题:“为什么神不告诉我发生了什么事?”以利户告诉约伯,神正在努力地回答约伯,只是他不去听。以利户在这一点上错误地判断了神。神如果会回答我们所有的问题,我们便不会面对考验。如果神说:“约伯,撒但想要考验你并使你痛苦,但最终你将得到医治,恢复所有一的切”,那又会怎么样呢?约伯最大的考验并不是他所受的苦,而是他不知道为什么要受苦。我们最大的考验可能是,我们必须相信神是美善的,即使我们不知道我们的生活为什么是这个样子。我们必须相信美善的神,而不是美好的生活。 

  伯 33:14-24> 神藉什么向我们说话?我听了多少? 

  33:14-24 以利户指出神一次又一次地讲话。祂用梦和异象( 33:15-18 )也通过苦难( 33:19-22 )、传信息的天使( 33:23-24 )说话。但这些约伯都已经知道了。以利户指责约伯不听神的声音是不属实的。──《灵修版圣经注释》
