But now, Job, listen to my words; pay attention to everything I say.

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

2 내가 입을 여니 내 혀가 입에서 動(동)하는구나
욥3:1

I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue.

Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know.

My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

Answer me then, if you can; prepare yourself and confront me.

If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

But you have said in my hearing--I heard the very words--

Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than man.

Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

13 하나님은 모든 行(행)하시는 것을 스스로 陳述(진술)치 아니하시나니 네가 하나님과 辯爭(변쟁)함은 어찜이뇨

Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man's words?

Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

14 사람은 無關(무관)히 여겨도 하나님은 한 番(번) 말씀하시고 다시 말씀하시되

For God does speak--now one way, now another--though man may not perceive it.

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

20 그의 1)마음은 植物(식물)을 싫어하고 그의 魂(혼)은 別味(별미)를 싫어하며
시107:18 잠23:3     1) 히, 생명

so that his very being finds food repulsive and his soul loathes the choicest meal.

Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,

If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

24 하나님이 그 사람을 矜恤(긍휼)히 여기사 이르시기를 그를 건져서 구덩이에 내려가지 않게 하라 내가 代贖物(대속물)을 얻었다 하시리라

to be gracious to him and say, 'Spare him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him'--

Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

25 그런즉 그 살이 어린 아이보다 軟(연)하여軟(연)하여져서 少年(소년) 때를 恢復(회복)할 것이요

then his flesh is renewed like a child's; it is restored as in the days of his youth.

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

26 그는 하나님께 祈禱(기도)하므로 하나님이 恩惠(은혜)를 베푸사 그로 自己(자기)의 얼굴을 즐거이 보게 하시고 사람에게 그 義(의)를 恢復(회복)시키시느니라

He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.'

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

29 ● 하나님이 사람에게 이 모든 일을 再三(재삼) 行(행)하심은

God does all these things to a man--twice, even three times--

Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

30 그 靈魂(영혼)을 구덩이에서 끌어 돌이키고 生命(생명)의 빛으로 그에게 비취려 하심이니라

to turn back his soul from the pit, that the light of life may shine on him.
