236:1
V ers. 3, 4. — Ecce docuisti plurimos, et manus las- sas roborasti; vacillantes confirmaverunt sermones tui, et genua trementia confortasti. 31. Quantus Job fuerit, cujus laudes nec silere valet qui crimen ingerere conatur. — Si ipse historiae tex- tus aspicitur, magna est lectoris utilitas, quod ab amicis jurgantibus in beato Job pro laceratione vi- liorum, virtutum praeconia proferuntur. Nunquam quippe est tam robustum vitae testimonium, quam cum ille b laudanda loquitur, qui ingerere crimen co- natur.
Verses 3, 4. — Behold, you have taught many, and you have strengthened weary hands; your words have confirmed those who wavered, and you have made firm trembling knees. 31. How great Job was, whose praises even he cannot keep silent who strives to bring a charge against him. — If the very text of the history is regarded, there is great profit for the reader, in that from friends who wrangle against blessed Job — in their tearing him down as of small worth — the proclamations of his virtues are brought forth. For never is the testimony of a life so robust as when he speaks the things to be praised who is striving to bring a charge.
第三、四節。——看哪，你曾教導許多人，也曾堅固疲乏的手；你的話使搖動的人堅立，你也使發顫的膝穩固。三十一。約伯何等偉大，連那企圖控告他的人也無法緘口不讚他。——若細看這段歷史的原文，讀者大得益處，因為從那些與蒙福的約伯爭辯、企圖貶低他的朋友口中，竟宣揚出他諸德的頌讚。因為對生命的見證，沒有比出自那企圖控告之人口中的讚美更為堅實有力的了。
236:2
Pensemus autem cujus celsitudinis iste vir fuerit, qui indoctos docens, lassos roborans, vacil- lantesque confirmans, inter curas domus, inter mul- tiplicium rerum custodiam, inter aflectus pignorum, inter studia tot laborum, erudiendis se caeteris im- pendit. Et illa quidem occupatus exercuit, sed ta- men liber magisterio doctrinae militavit. Temporalia regendo disposuit; aeterna praedicando nuntiavit; vi- tae rectitudinem et agendo videntibus ostendit, et lo- quendo audientibus ingessit. [ Vet. XIII. ] Sed sive haeretici, seu perversi quilibet, c m bona justorum referunt, haec in argumentum criminis inflectunt.
Let us consider, moreover, of what loftiness this man was, who, teaching the unlearned, strengthening the weary, and confirming those who wavered, amid the cares of his household, amid the guardianship of manifold affairs, amid affection for his children, amid the pursuit of so many labors, spent himself in instructing others. And indeed, occupied with those things he carried them out, yet remained free to serve in the office of teaching doctrine. In governing he ordered temporal things; in preaching he announced eternal things; the uprightness of life he both showed to onlookers by acting and pressed upon hearers by speaking. But whether heretics or perverse men of any kind, when they report the good deeds of the righteous, they bend these into an argument for a charge.
再者，讓我們思想這人是何等崇高：他教導無知的人，堅固疲乏的人，堅立搖動的人，並且在家務的操勞中、在管理諸般繁事之中、在對兒女的慈愛之中、在許多勞苦的追求之中，仍竭力教導他人。他固然忙於這些事並將它們辦妥，卻仍有餘力擔負教導真道的職分。在治理上，他安排屬世之事；在傳講上，他宣告永恆之事；生命的正直，他既以行為向旁觀者顯明，又以言語向聽者灌輸。但無論是異端還是任何悖逆之人，當他們述說義人的善行時，卻將這些扭曲成控告的論據。
236:3
Inde namque Eliphaz contra beatum Job occasionem objurgationis colligit, unde laudanda narravit. Nam sequitur:
For from that very source Eliphaz gathers an occasion for reproof against blessed Job, from which he had recounted praiseworthy things. For there follows:
因為以利法正是從他敘述那些可讚之事的同一根源，尋得責備蒙福的約伯的把柄。接著說：
