【释义】：

根由

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: though my reins be consumed within me.

But ye shall say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?

But ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishmenis of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

Job 19:27-29

我(指约伯)自己要见他(指神)，亲眼要看他，并不像外人。

“我的心肠在我里面消灭了。

你们若说，我们逼迫他，要何等地重呢?惹事的根乃在乎他。

你们就当惧怕刀剑，因为忿怒惹动刀剑的刑罚，使你们知道有报应。

”

《约伯记》19∶27－29］
