9:1 [hgb]  约 伯 回 答 说 ，
    [kjv]  Then Job answered and said,
    [bbe]  And Job made answer and said,
9:2 [hgb]  我 真 知 道 是 这 样 。 但 人 在 神 面 前 怎 能 成 为 义 呢 ？
    [kjv]  I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
    [bbe]  Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?
9:3 [hgb]  若 愿 意 与 他 争 辩 ， 千 中 之 一 也 不 能 回 答 。
    [kjv]  If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
    [bbe]  If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.
9:4 [hgb]  他 心 里 有 智 慧 ， 且 大 有 能 力 。 谁 向 神 刚 硬 而 得 亨 通 呢 ？
    [kjv]  He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
    [bbe]  He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?
9:5 [hgb]  他 发 怒 ， 把 山 翻 倒 挪 移 ， 山 并 不 知 觉 。
    [kjv]  Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
    [bbe]  It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath:
9:6 [hgb]  他 使 地 震 动 ， 离 其 本 位 ， 地 的 柱 子 就 摇 撼 。
    [kjv]  Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
    [bbe]  Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:
9:7 [hgb]  他 吩 咐 日 头 不 出 来 ， 就 不 出 来 ， 又 封 闭 众 星 。
    [kjv]  Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
    [bbe]  Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.
9:8 [hgb]  他 独 自 铺 张 苍 天 ， 步 行 在 海 浪 之 上 。
    [kjv]  Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
    [bbe]  By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:
9:9 [hgb]  他 造 北 斗 ， 参 星 ， 昴 星 ， 并 南 方 的 密 宫 。
    [kjv]  Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
    [bbe]  Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:
9:10 [hgb]  他 行 大 事 ， 不 可 测 度 ， 行 奇 事 ， 不 可 胜 数 。
    [kjv]  Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
    [bbe]  Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.
9:11 [hgb]  他 从 我 旁 边 经 过 ， 我 却 不 看 见 。 他 在 我 面 前 行 走 ， 我 倒 不 知 觉 。
    [kjv]  Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
    [bbe]  See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.
9:12 [hgb]  他 夺 取 ， 谁 能 阻 挡 。 谁 敢 问 他 ， 你 做 什 么 。
    [kjv]  Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
    [bbe]  If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?
9:13 [hgb]  神 必 不 收 回 他 的 怒 气 。 扶 助 拉 哈 伯 的 ， 屈 身 在 他 以 下 。
    [kjv]  If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
    [bbe]  God's wrath may not be turned back; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him.
9:14 [hgb]  既 是 这 样 ， 我 怎 敢 回 答 他 ， 怎 敢 选 择 言 语 与 他 辩 论 呢 ？
    [kjv]  How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
    [bbe]  How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?
9:15 [hgb]  我 虽 有 义 ， 也 不 回 答 他 。 只 要 向 那 审 判 我 的 恳 求 。
    [kjv]  Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
    [bbe]  Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.
9:16 [hgb]  我 若 呼 吁 ， 他 应 允 我 。 我 仍 不 信 他 真 听 我 的 声 音 。
    [kjv]  If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
    [bbe]  If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.
9:17 [hgb]  他 用 暴 风 折 断 我 ， 无 故 地 加 增 我 的 损 伤 。
    [kjv]  For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
    [bbe]  For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.
9:18 [hgb]  我 就 是 喘 一 口 气 ， 他 都 不 容 ， 倒 使 我 满 心 苦 恼 。
    [kjv]  He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
    [bbe]  He would not let me take my breath, but I wo............
