約伯記 Job

28:1	[hb5]	銀子有礦、煉金有方。
	[kjv]	Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
28:2	[hb5]	鐵從地裡挖出、銅從石中鎔化。
	[kjv]	Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
28:3	[hb5]	人為黑暗定界限、查究幽暗陰翳的石頭、直到極處．
	[kjv]	He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
28:4	[hb5]	在無人居住之處刨開礦穴、過路的人也想不到他們．又與人遠離、懸在空中搖來搖去。
	[kjv]	The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
28:5	[hb5]	至於地、能出糧食．地內好像被火翻起來。
	[kjv]	As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
28:6	[hb5]	地中的石頭有藍寶石、並有金沙。
	[kjv]	The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
28:7	[hb5]	礦中的路鷙鳥不得知道、鷹眼也未見過．
	[kjv]	There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
28:8	[hb5]	狂傲的野獸未曾行過．猛烈的獅子也未曾經過。
	[kjv]	The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
28:9	[hb5]	人伸手鑿開堅石、傾倒山根。
	[kjv]	He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
28:10	[hb5]	在磐石中鑿出水道．親眼看見各樣寶物。
	[kjv]	He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
28:11	[hb5]	他封閉水不得滴流．使隱藏的物顯露出來。
	[kjv]	He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
28:12	[hb5]	然而智慧有何處可尋．聰明之處在哪裡呢。
	[kjv]	But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
28:13	[hb5]	智慧的價值無人能知、在活人之地也無處可尋。
	[kjv]	Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
28:14	[hb5]	深淵說、不在我內．滄海說、不在我中。
	[kjv]	The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
28:15	[hb5]	智慧非用黃金可得、也不能平白銀為他的價值。
	[kjv]	It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
28:16	[hb5]	俄斐金、和貴重的紅瑪瑙、並藍寶石、不足與較量。
	[kjv]	It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
28:17	[hb5]	黃金、和玻璃、不足與比較、精金的器皿、不足與兌換。
	[kjv]	The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
28:18	[hb5]	珊瑚、水晶、都不足論、智慧的價值勝過珍珠。〔或作紅寶石〕
	[kjv]	No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
28:19	[hb5]	古實的紅璧璽、不足與比較。精金、也不足與較量。
	[kjv]	The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
28:20	[hb5]	智慧從何處來呢．聰明之處在哪裡呢。
	[kjv]	Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
28:21	[hb5]	是向一切有生命的眼目隱藏、向空中的飛鳥掩蔽。
	[kjv]	Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
28:22	[hb5]	滅沒和死亡說、我們風聞其名。
	[kjv]	Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
28:23	[hb5]	神明白智慧的道路、曉得智慧的所在。
	[kjv]	God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
28:24	[hb5]	因他鑒察直到地極、遍觀普天之下．
	[kjv]	For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
28:25	[hb5]	要為風定輕重．又度量諸水。
	[kjv]	To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
28:26	[hb5]	他為雨露定命令、為雷電定道路。
	[kjv]	When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
28:27	[hb5]	那時他看見智慧、而且述說．他堅定、並且查究。
	[kjv]	Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28:28	[hb5]	他對人說、敬畏主就是智慧、遠離惡便是聰明。
	[kjv]	And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
