W5 2013-04-05 (約伯記29)
29:7 我出到城門，在街上設立座位；
29:8 少年人見我而迴避，老年人也起身站立；
29:9 王子都停止說話，用手摀口；
29:10 首領靜默無聲，舌頭貼住上膛。
29:11 耳朵聽我的，就稱我有福；眼睛看我的，便稱讚我；
29:12 因我拯救哀求的困苦人和無人幫助的孤兒。
29:13 將要滅亡的為我祝福；我也使寡婦心中歡樂。
29:14 我以公義為衣服，以公平為外袍和冠冕。
29:15 我為瞎子的眼，瘸子的腳。
29:16 我為窮乏人的父；素不認識的人，我查明他的案件。
29:17 我打破不義之人的牙床，從他牙齒中奪了所搶的。
默想: 約伯在這裡講到他從前在神的保守下，所擁的幸福。簡單的來說有五福。
1、與上帝有親密的友情(1-4)
2、家庭生活美滿幸福(5-6)
3、受人尊重的社會地位(7-17)
4、安享晚年，力量強盛(18-20)
5、智慧言語，安慰助人(21-25)
如果我們注意看到約伯所說的內容，會發現約伯所謂的幸福，他花了很大的部分來描述對別人的幫助。約伯所說的幸福不是自我物質、心理的滿足狀態。而是有相當大的一部分，是他如何地去幫助別人，實踐公義。如同約伯所說的「我以公義為衣服、以公平為外袍和冠冕」(14)，約伯的幸福不是建立在自我、個人的幸福上，而是建立在如何實踐社會、環境的整體公平、公義的基礎上。這才是使人蒙福的人生。
題目: 你對於約伯在本章經文中所描述的幸福觀有何看法呢？
29:1 約伯又接著說：
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, continued: Heb. added to take up
29:2 惟願我的景況如從前的月份，如 神保守我的日子。
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
29:3 那時他的燈照在我頭上；我藉他的光行過黑暗。
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; candle: or, lamp
29:4 我願如壯年的時候：那時我在帳棚中， 神待我有密友之情；
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
29:5 全能者仍與我同在；我的兒女都環繞我。
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
29:6 奶多可洗我的腳；磐石為我出油成河。
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; me: Heb. with me
29:7 我出到城門，在街上設立座位；
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
29:8 少年人見我而迴避，老年人也起身站立；
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
29:9 王子都停止說話，用手摀口；
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
29:10 首領靜默無聲，舌頭貼住上膛。
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. The nobles...: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid
29:11 耳朵聽我的，就稱我有福；眼睛看我的，便稱讚我；
When the ear heard me , then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me , it gave witness to me:
29:12 因我拯救哀求的困苦人和無人幫助的孤兒。
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
29:13 將要滅亡的為我祝福；我也使寡婦心中歡樂。
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
29:14 我以公義為衣服，以公平為外袍和冠冕。
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
29:15 我為瞎子的眼，瘸子的腳。
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
29:16 我為窮乏人的父；素不認識的人，我查明他的案件。
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
29:17 我打破不義之人的牙床，從他牙齒中奪了所搶的。
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders plucked: Heb. cast
29:18 我便說：我必死在家中（原文是窩中），必增添我的日子，多如塵沙。
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
29:19 我的根長到水邊；露水終夜霑在我的枝上。
My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. spread...: Heb. opened
29:20 我的榮耀在身上增新；我的弓在手中日強。
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. fresh: Heb. new renewed: Heb. changed
29:21 人聽見我而仰望，靜默等候我的指教。
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
29:22 我說話之後，他們就不再說；我的言語像雨露滴在他們身上。
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
29:23 他們仰望我如仰望雨，又張開口如切慕春雨。
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
29:24 他們不敢自信，我就向他們含笑；他們不使我臉上的光改變。
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
29:25 我為他們選擇道路，又坐首位；我如君王在軍隊中居住，又如弔喪的安慰傷心的人。
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
