517:1
V ers. 8. — Nunquid faciem ejus occivitis, et pro Deo judicare nitimini? 38. Stulti tanto severius de alienis judicant, quanto sua profundius ignorant. — Stulti cum prudentium facta conspiciunt, haec eis omnia reprehensibilia esse videntur; qui, suae imperitiae atque infirmitatis obli- ti, tanto intentius de alienis judicant,, quanto sua profundius ignorant. [ Vet. VXI.] At contra justi cum pravorum facta redarguunt, semper suae infirmitatis conscii, eos etsi exterius saeviendo, tamen interius compatiendo reprehendunt, quia illius solius est pec- cata hominum sine compassione discutere, qui ex naturae suae omnipotentia ignorat peccare.
Verse 8: 'Do you accept His person, and strive to judge on God's behalf?' 38. Fools judge others with a severity proportioned to how deeply they are ignorant of their own affairs. — Fools, when they behold the deeds of the prudent, all these things seem to them reprehensible; and, forgetful of their own inexperience and infirmity, they judge concerning others' affairs the more intently, the more deeply they are ignorant of their own. But on the contrary, the just, when they rebuke the deeds of the depraved, being always conscious of their own infirmity, reprove them by raging outwardly, yet by having compassion inwardly; because it belongs to Him alone to discuss the sins of men without compassion, who by the omnipotence of His own nature knows not how to sin.
第八節：「難道你們要看祂的情面，替神辯護、審判嗎？」三十八、愚人審判別人愈嚴厲，正表明他們愈深地不認識自己。——愚人看見明智之人的行為時，這一切在他們看來都是可責的；他們既忘了自己的無知與軟弱，就愈深地不認識自己、便愈專注地審判別人的事。但反過來，義人責備邪惡之人的行為時，總是自知軟弱，便外表雖嚴厲、內裡卻懷憐憫地責備他們；因為惟有那一位，憑其本性之全能而不曉得犯罪的，才有資格毫無憐憫地審視人的罪。
517:2
Quia igi- tur amici beati Job ita ejus facta reprehenderant ac si in se ipsi reprehensibile nihil haberent, recte nunc dicitur: Nunquid faciem ejus accipitis, et pro Deo judicare nitimini? Faciem quippe ejus accipere a est auctoritatem illius in judicio sumere; et quasi pro Deo judicare nititur, qui, cum infirma quaeque in al- tero reprehendit, apud se introrsus per compassio- nem non infirmatur. Sequitur:
Because therefore the friends of blessed Job had thus reproved his deeds as though they themselves had nothing reprehensible in them, rightly is it now said: 'Do you accept His person, and strive to judge on God's behalf?' For to accept His person is to take up His authority in judgement; and he strives, as it were, to judge on God's behalf, who, when he reproves whatever is weak in another, is not inwardly weakened within himself through compassion. There follows:
因此，既然有福的約伯的朋友如此責備他的行為，彷彿他們自己毫無可責之處，所以現在正確地說：「難道你們要看祂的情面，替神辯護、審判嗎？」因為看祂的情面，就是在審判中僭取祂的權柄；而那在責備別人一切軟弱之處時，內裡卻不因憐憫而軟弱的人，就彷彿妄想替神審判。接著說：
