旧约 - 约伯记(Job)第7章

"Does not man have hard service on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired man?
Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired man waiting eagerly for his wages,
so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.
When I lie down I think, 'How long before I get up?' The night drags on, and I toss till dawn.
My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering.
"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.
Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.
The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.
As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to the grave does not return.
He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more.
"Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that you put me under guard?
When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
even then you frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
so that I prefer strangling and death, rather than this body of mine.
I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone; my days have no meaning.
"What is man that you make so much of him, that you give him so much attention,
that you examine him every morning and test him every moment?
Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant?
If I have sinned, what have I done to you, O watcher of men? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you?
Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more."
约伯记第七章   第 7 章 

  伯 7:11> 内心有痛苦可以不可以发泄?向谁发泄?怎样发泄? 

  7:11 约伯深深地感到痛苦和困扰,并老老实实地向神说出自己的感受,以宣泄他失意的情绪。我们若要向神表达自己的感受,也可像约伯那样,不发过激的言语,不做冲动的举动,因为这可能伤害他人和自己。当激动的情感淹没我们时,可以在祷告中公开向神表达。这会有助于你从永恒的角度理解你的处境,并给你更大的能力去积极面对。 

  伯 7:12> 你为自己的困苦埋怨过神吗?埋怨令你怀疑神的爱吗? 

  7:12 约伯停止和以利法的对话,直接向神说话。虽然约伯在生活上无可指责,但他开始怀疑生存的价值。从他的观点可引伸出神不看顾他,即神是不公正的。后来神再次指责了约伯的这种态度( 38:2 )。撒但总是利用这些想法让我们背弃神。像约伯一样,我们受苦也许并不是我们犯罪的结果,但我们必须小心,不要使犯罪成为受苦的后果。 

  伯 7:20> “神在鉴察我,数算我的罪……”仅此而已吗? 

  7:20 约伯把神当成高高在上的旁观者。他感到神像是他的敌人,毫无怜悯地看着他在痛苦中挣扎。我们知道,神确实在察看我们身上发生的一切。但我们不该忘记,神绝不仅仅用挑剔的眼光鉴察我们,神是怀着深情在看着我们,祂的目光充满慈爱。──《灵修版圣经注释》
