你为何与他争论呢。因他的事都不对人解说。
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
人躺在床上沉睡的时候,神就用梦,和夜间的异象,
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
开通他们的耳朵,将当受的教训印在他们心上,
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
好叫人不从自己的谋算,不行骄傲的事。(原文作将骄傲向人隐藏)
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
拦阻人不陷于坑里,不死在刀下。
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
人在床上被惩治,骨头中不住地疼痛。
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
以致他的口厌弃食物,心厌恶美味。
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
他的灵魂临近深坑。他的生命近于灭命的。
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
一千天使中,若有一个作传话的与神同在,指示人所当行的事。
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
神就给他开恩,说,救赎他免得下坑。我已经得了赎价。
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
