Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, And the integrity of thy ways thy hope?

你的倚靠不是在你敬畏神吗？你的盼望不是在你行事纯正吗？

你的倚靠不是在于你敬畏上帝吗？你的盼望不是在于你行事纯正吗？

你的倚靠不是在于你敬畏神吗？你的盼望不是在于你行事纯正吗？

你敬畏上帝还没有信心吗？你行为纯全还没有盼望吗？

你所自恃的，不是敬畏神吗？你所盼望的，不是行为完全吗？

你的倚靠不是在你敬畏神嗎？你的盼望不是在你行事純正嗎？

你的倚靠不是在於你敬畏上帝嗎？你的盼望不是在於你行事純正嗎？

你的倚靠不是在於你敬畏神嗎？你的盼望不是在於你行事純正嗎？

你敬畏上帝還沒有信心嗎？你行為純全還沒有盼望嗎？

你所自恃的，不是敬畏神嗎？你所盼望的，不是行為完全嗎？

你的安心信賴豈不是在於你的敬畏上帝？你所指望的豈不是在於你行徑之純全麼？

爾之所恃、非在寅畏乎、爾之所望、非在正行乎、

舉敬畏行善之心、居恆以此自恃者安在哉。

爾敬畏天主、豈無所恃乎、既有善行、豈無可望乎、

Should not your piety be your confidence and your blameless ways your hope?

Shouldn’t you worship God and trust in him? Shouldn’t your honest life give you hope?

Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?

Doesn’t your reverence for God give you confidence? Doesn’t your life of integrity give you hope?

Isn’t your piety your confidence, and the integrity of your life your hope?

Is your fear of God not your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope?

[ Is] not[ this] thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?

For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil.

In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.

Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.

Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?

Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a virgin?For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?Doth not he see my ways, And number all my steps?If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit( Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;Then let my wife grind unto another, And let others bow down upon her.For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, And would root out all mine increase.If I have despised the cause of my man- servant or of my maid- servant, When they contended with me;What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof( Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother’s womb);If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder- blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,And my heart hath been secretly enticed, And my mouth hath kissed my hand:This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God that is above.If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him( Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?( The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—Oh that I had one to hear me!( Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me) And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:Let thistles grow instead of wheat, And cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.I was eyes to the blind, And feet was I to the lame.I was a father to the needy: And the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous, And plucked the prey out of his teeth.
