旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第37章

"At this my heart pounds and leaps from its place.
Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.
After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.
He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.'
So that all men he has made may know his work, he stops every man from his labor.
The animals take cover; they remain in their dens.
The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds.
The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen.
He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them.
At his direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever he commands them.
He brings the clouds to punish men, or to water his earth and show his love.
"Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God's wonders.
Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who is perfect in knowledge?
You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?
"Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.
Should he be told that I want to speak? Would any man ask to be swallowed up?
Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty.
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
Therefore, men revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?"
约伯记第卅七章   第 37 章 

  伯 37:2> 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 没有什么能与神相比的,祂的权柄和存在令人生畏,祂说话我们必须听。我们常替神说话,就像约伯的朋友那样,把祂的话放在嘴边,常以为祂就在我们身旁,因而不理会祂,也把祂的沉默解释为祂不在或不注意。但神是关心我们的。祂在掌权,祂也会说话。我们要时时准备接受神的信息,祂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。 

  伯 37:21-24> 以利户得出了什么结论?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( 38 章)。 

  伯 37:23> 茫茫宇宙,神要掌管的事情太多了,我的事算什么?祂也管? 

  37:23 以利户强调神在大自然中的主权,藉以提醒祂也掌管我们的生活。神在掌权;祂指引、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着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,我们会记起祂在我们生活中每一方面所拥有的影响。
