他们来到迦南地，他们的父亲雅各那里，将所遭遇的事都告诉他，说，
And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
我们本是弟兄十二人，都是一个父亲的儿子，有一个没有了，顶小的如今同我们的父亲在迦南地。
We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
把你们的小兄弟带到我这里来，我便知道你们不是奸细，乃是诚实人。这样，我就把你们的弟兄交给你们，你们也可以在这地作买卖。
And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
后来他们倒口袋，不料，各人的银包都在口袋里。他们和父亲看见银包就都害怕。
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
他们的父亲雅各对他们说，你们使我丧失我的儿子，约瑟没有了，西缅也没有了，你们又要将便雅悯带去。这些事都归到我身上了。
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
雅各说，我的儿子不可与你们一同下去。他哥哥死了，只剩下他，他若在你们所行的路上遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍，悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
约伯回答耶和华说，
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
我知道，你万事都能做。你的旨意不能拦阻。
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
谁用无知的言语，使你的旨意隐藏呢。我所说的，是我不明白的。这些事太奇妙，是我不知道的。
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
求你听我，我要说话。我问你，求你指示我。
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
