旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第36章

Elihu continued:
"Bear with me a little longer and I will show you that there is more to be said in God's behalf.
I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
Be assured that my words are not false; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
"God is mighty, but does not despise men; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.
He does not keep the wicked alive but gives the afflicted their rights.
He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
But if men are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,
he tells them what they have done--that they have sinned arrogantly.
He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil.
If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.
But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
"The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.
They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines.
But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.
"He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.
But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you.
Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.
Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress?
Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes.
Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction.
"God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, 'You have done wrong'?
Remember to extol his work, which men have praised in song.
All mankind has seen it; men gaze on it from afar.
How great is God--beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.
"He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams;
the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.
Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?
See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea.
This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance.
He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach.

  神的公义 

  伯 36:26> 人对神的认识只是沧海一粟,你是否想多探索神的奥秘? 

  36:26 圣经诗歌文学的主题之一是神是不可知的,我们不可能完全了解祂。我们可以掌握有关祂的一些知识;透过圣经我们可以知道神是谁、怎么认识祂、怎样与祂有永久的关系等详细情况,但我们知道的总是不足以明白所有的人生问题(参传 3:11 )或预测未来,或控制神来达到我们的目的。生活所产生出来的问题总是多过答案。我们必须不断地求神给我们更深的洞察力,去面对生活中的迷惑( 37:19-24 )。──《灵修版圣经注释》
