6:2 Oh that my vexation were weighed indeed, And that my ruin were lifted onto the scales together with it!
惟愿我的烦恼称一称，我的灾害也一起摆到天平上！
6:3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; Therefore my words have been rash.
现今这些都比海沙更重，所以我的言语急躁。
6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty are in me, The poison of which my spirit drinks up; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.
因全能者的箭射在我身上，其毒，我的灵喝尽了；神的惊吓摆阵攻击我。
6:5 Does the wild ass bray over its grass? Or does the ox low over its fodder?
野驴有草，岂会叫唤？牛有料，岂会吼叫？
6:6 Is what is savorless eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
物淡而无盐，岂可吃么？蛋白有什么滋味呢？
6:7 My soul refuses to touch them; They are like putrid food to me.
这些对我如同可厌的食物，我魂不肯沾碰。
6:8 Oh that I might have my request, And that God would grant me what I long for;
惟愿我得着所求的，愿神赐我所切望的；
6:9 That God would be willing to crush me; That He would release His hand and cut me off!
愿神乐意把我压碎，伸手将我剪除！
6:10 Then there would still be comfort for me; And I would exult, even in writhing pain that does not spare, That I did not deny the words of the Holy One.
我因没有违弃那圣者的言语，就仍有安慰，在不留情的痛苦中，还可踊跃。
6:11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?
我有什么力气，使我等候？我有什么结局，使我忍耐？
6:12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?
我的力气，岂是石头的力气？我的肉身，岂是铜的呢？
6:13 Is there any help for me at all within me, And has wisdom been driven away from me?
我里面岂有丝毫的帮助么？智慧岂非从我赶出么？
6:14 To him who is fainting there should be kindness from his friend, Else he will forsake the fear of the Almighty.
那灰心的，他的朋友当以慈爱待他，免得他撇弃敬畏全能者的心。
6:15 My brothers have dealt as treacherously as a desert brook, As the rivulets of the desert brooks that pass away,
我的弟兄行事诡诈，好像荒漠的溪流，又像溪水流干的河道。
6:16 Which are turbid because of the ice, And into which the snow hides itself.
这溪因结冰混浊，有雪藏在其中；
6:17 When they are scorched, they are completely consumed; When it is hot, they are dried up from their place.
天暖时就消没，炎热时便从原处干涸。
6:18 Caravans divert their ways for them; They go up into the waste and perish.
结伴的客旅偏离原道，顺溪而行，上到荒野之地死亡。
6:19 The caravans of Tema look for them; The companies of Sheba long for them.
提玛结伴的客旅瞻望溪流，示巴同伙的人也等候。
6:20 They are put to shame because they are confident; They go there and are confounded.
他们因信靠这溪就抱愧，来到那里便蒙羞。
6:21 So now you have become such; You see a terrible thing and are afraid.
现在你们正是这样；看见惊吓的事便惧怕。
6:22 Have I said, Give me something? Or, Pay a bribe for me out of your wealth?
我岂说过，请你们供给我？或说，从你们的财物中，送礼物给我？
6:23 Or, Deliver me from the hand of the adversary? Or, From the hand of the oppressors redeem me?
或说，拯救我脱离敌人的手？或说，救赎我脱离强暴人的手？
6:24 Teach me, and I will be silent; Cause me to understand how I have erred.
请你们教导我，我便不作声；请你们使我明白，我在何事上有错。
6:25 How forceful are upright words! But what does this reproving from you reprove?
正直的言语，力量何其大！但你们的责备，是责备什么呢？
6:26 Do you think you can reprove words? But the words of a desperate man are for the wind.
你们想要驳正言语么？绝望人的讲论，不过如风。
6:27 You would even cast lots over the orphan And bargain over your friend.
你们甚至拈阄为得孤儿，拿朋友当货物。
6:28 Now then be pleased to look upon me, For surely I will not lie to your face.
现在请你们看看我，我绝不当面说谎。
6:29 Turn now; let there be no injustice. Indeed turn; my righteousness is still here.
请你们回转，不要不公正；请你们再回转，我还有公理在。
6:30 Is there any injustice on my tongue? Can my palate not discern calamities?
