約伯記 27:3

3 我 的 生 命 尚 在 我 裡 面 ； 神 所 賜 呼 吸 之 氣 仍 在 我 的 鼻 孔 內 。

約伯記 27:3 Meaning and Commentary

Job 27:3

All the while my breath [is] in me
So long the oath of God would be upon him, or he bound himself under it:

and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
which signifies the same thing. The breath of a man is his spirit, and this is of God, the Father of spirits; he first breathed into man the breath of life, and he became a living soul or spirit, ( Genesis 2:7 ) ; it is he that gives life and breath to every man, ( Acts 17:25 ) , and continues it as long as he pleases, which is a very precarious thing; for it is in his nostrils, where it is drawn to and fro and soon and easily stopped; nor will it always continue, it will some time not be, it will go forth, and then man dies, and returns to the earth, ( Ecclesiastes 12:7 ) ; but as long as there is breath there is life; so that to say this is the same as to say, as long as I live, or have a being, ( Psalms 104:33 ) ( 116:2 ) ; and while that continued, Job looked upon himself under the oath he had taken by the living God.

1 約 伯 接 著 說 ：

2 神 奪 去 我 的 理 ， 全 能 者 使 我 心 中 愁 苦 。 我 指 著 永 生 的 神 起 誓 ：

3 我 的 生 命 尚 在 我 裡 面 ； 神 所 賜 呼 吸 之 氣 仍 在 我 的 鼻 孔 內 。

4 我 的 嘴 決 不 說 非 義 之 言 ； 我 的 舌 也 不 說 詭 詐 之 語 。

5 我 斷 不 以 你 們 為 是 ； 我 至 死 必 不 以 自 己 為 不 正 ！
