旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第11章

Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
"Are all these words to go unanswered? Is this talker to be vindicated?
Will your idle talk reduce men to silence? Will no one rebuke you when you mock?
You say to God, 'My beliefs are flawless and I am pure in your sight.'
Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you
and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
"Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
They are higher than the heavens--what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave--what can you know?
Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
"If he comes along and confines you in prison and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
Surely he recognizes deceitful men; and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
But a witless man can no more become wise than a wild donkey's colt can be born a man.
"Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,
if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear.
You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.
Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.
You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.
But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp."
约伯记第十一章   第 11 章 

  伯 11 章 > 琐法的立埸与前两位有分别吗?态度上呢? 

  11 章 琐法是约伯的第三位朋友,也是最不客气的。他气愤填膺地猛烈抨击约伯,并认为约伯该受更多惩罚。琐法采取了与以利法( 4-5 章)和比勒达( 8 章)相同的立场,认为约伯是因犯罪而受苦,但他的话是最傲慢的。琐法是一个对所有问题都有特定答案的人,但他对约伯的独特情况却毫无感觉。有关琐法的详情,请参 27 章的附表。 

  伯 11:11> 琐法的话中有没有真理? 

  11:11 琐法以约伯为“虚妄”,控告他隐藏的罪。琐法的推论虽是错的,但他相当准确地解释了神洞悉一切。我们常会受诱惑,以为所做的事没人知道。我们也许可以向别人隐瞒一些罪,但我们无法向神隐瞒。由于神知道我们的心思意念,所以祂必会注意到我们的罪。这是约伯和琐法都知道的,但并不适用于约伯目前的困境。──《灵修版圣经注释》
