旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第35章

Then Elihu said:
"Do you think this is just? You say, 'I will be cleared by God.'
Yet you ask him, 'What profit is it to me, and what do I gain by not sinning?'
"I would like to reply to you and to your friends with you.
Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.
If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins are many, what does that do to him?
If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?
Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only the sons of men.
"Men cry out under a load of oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.
But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
who teaches more to us than to the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?'
He does not answer when men cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked.
Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.
How much less, then, will he listen when you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him and you must wait for him,
and further, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.
So Job opens his mouth with empty talk; without knowledge he multiplies words."
约伯记第卅五章   第 35 章 

  伯 35 章 > “我不犯罪,比犯罪有什么好处呢?”真的,我看见好处了吗? 

  35 章 有时候我们会怀疑自己持守信心是否真的有益处,以利户提到了这一点。他总结说,尽管神不会立即介入我们的生活,但祂仍旧关注着我们。在更广阔的范围内,神彰显了正义,对此祂也给了我们应许。不要失去盼望,要等候神,祂注意到你的正直生活和信心。──《灵修版圣经注释》
