Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

12:1

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει

Then Job answered and said:

約伯回答說：

12:2

εἶτα ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἄνθρωποι ἦ μεθ’ ὑμῶν τελευτήσει σοφία

So then you are men! Will wisdom come to an end with you?

這麼說，你們就是人了！智慧要與你們一同終結嗎？

12:3

κἀμοὶ μὲν καρδία καθ’ ὑμᾶς ἐστιν

I too have a heart, just as you do.

我也有心，像你們一樣。

12:4

δίκαιος γὰρ ἀνὴρ καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐγενήθη εἰς χλεύασμα

For a righteous and blameless man has become a mockery.

因為義人和無可指責的人竟成了笑柄。

12:5

εἰς χρόνον γὰρ τακτὸν ἡτοίμαστο πεσεῖν ὑπὸ ἄλλους οἴκους τε αὐτοῦ ἐκπορθεῖσθαι ὑπὸ ἀνόμων

For at an appointed time he was destined to fall under others, and his houses to be plundered by lawless men.

因為在所定的時候，他註定要倒在別人手下，他的家宅要被不法之人劫掠。

12:6

οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μηδεὶς πεποιθέτω πονηρὸς ὢν ἀθῷος ἔσεσθαι ὅσοι παροργίζουσιν τὸν κύριον ὡς οὐχὶ καὶ ἔτασις αὐτῶν ἔσται

Nevertheless, let no wicked man be confident that he will go unpunished—all those who provoke the Lord, as though there would be no examination of them.

然而，作惡的人斷不可自信必得無罪；凡惹主發怒的人，豈以為不會受審問嗎？

12:7

ἀλλὰ δὴ ἐπερώτησον τετράποδα ἐάν σοι εἴπωσιν πετεινὰ δὲ οὐρανοῦ ἐάν σοι ἀπαγγείλωσιν

But ask the four-footed beasts, whether they will tell you; and the birds of heaven, whether they will declare to you.

你且問四足的走獸，看牠們是否告訴你；問空中的飛鳥，看牠們是否向你述說。

12:8

ἐκδιήγησαι δὲ γῇ ἐάν σοι φράσῃ καὶ ἐξηγήσονταί σοι οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης

Recount it to the earth, whether it will explain to you; and the fish of the sea will tell you.

你向大地細說，看它是否向你解明；海中的魚也必向你講述。

12:9

τίς οὐκ ἔγνω ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ὅτι χεὶρ κυρίου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα

Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has made these things?

在這一切之中，誰不知道這是主的手所做的呢？
