STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר	1 Then Job answered and said,
2 שָׁמַעְתִּי כְאֵלֶּה רַבֹּות מְנַחֲמֵי עָמָל כֻּלְּכֶם	2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
3 הֲקֵץ לְדִבְרֵי־רוּחַ אֹו מַה־יַּמְרִיצְךָ כִּי תַעֲנֶה	3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
4 גַּם ׀ אָנֹכִי כָּכֶם אֲדַבֵּרָה לוּ־יֵשׁ נַפְשְׁכֶם תַּחַת נַפְשִׁי אַחְבִּירָה עֲלֵיכֶם בְּמִלִּים וְאָנִיעָה עֲלֵיכֶם בְּמֹו רֹאשִׁי	4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
5 אֲאַמִּצְכֶם בְּמֹו־פִי וְנִיד שְׂפָתַי יַחְשֹׂךְ	5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
6 אִם־אֲדַבְּרָה לֹא־יֵחָשֵׂךְ כְּאֵבִי וְאַחְדְּלָה מַה־מִנִּי יַהֲלֹךְ	6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 אַךְ־עַתָּה הֶלְאָנִי הֲשִׁמֹּותָ כָּל־עֲדָתִי	7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 וַתִּקְמְטֵנִי לְעֵד הָיָה וַיָּקָם בִּי כַחֲשִׁי בְּפָנַי יַעֲנֶה	8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
9 אַפֹּו טָרַף ׀ וַיִּשְׂטְמֵנִי חָרַק עָלַי בְּשִׁנָּיו צָרִי ׀ יִלְטֹושׁ עֵינָיו לִי	9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10 פָּעֲרוּ עָלַי ׀ בְּפִיהֶם בְּחֶרְפָּה הִכּוּ לְחָיָי יַחַד עָלַי יִתְמַלָּאוּן	10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
11 יַסְגִּירֵנִי אֵל אֶל עֲוִיל וְעַל־יְדֵי רְשָׁעִים יִרְטֵנִי	11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
12 שָׁלֵו הָיִיתִי ׀ וַיְפַרְפְּרֵנִי וְאָחַז בְּעָרְפִּי וַיְפַצְפְּצֵנִי וַיְקִימֵנִי לֹו לְמַטָּרָה	12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13 יָסֹבּוּ עָלַי ׀ רַבָּיו יְפַלַּח כִּלְיֹותַי וְלֹא יַחְמֹול יִשְׁפֹּךְ לָאָרֶץ מְרֵרָתִי	13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14 יִפְרְצֵנִי פֶרֶץ עַל־פְּנֵי־פָרֶץ יָרֻץ עָלַי כְּגִבֹּור	14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
15 שַׂק תָּפַרְתִּי עֲלֵי גִלְדִּי וְעֹלַלְתִּי בֶעָפָר קַרְנִי	15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16 פָּנַי [חֳמַרְמְרָה כ] (חֳמַרְמְרוּ ק) מִנִּי־בֶכִי וְעַל עַפְעַפַּי צַלְמָוֶת	16 My face is foul with weeping, and my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17 עַל לֹא־חָמָס בְּכַפָּי וּתְפִלָּתִי זַכָּה	17 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
18 אֶרֶץ אַל־תְּכַסִּי דָמִי וְאַל־יְהִי מָקֹום לְזַעֲקָתִי	18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
19 גַּם־עַתָּה הִנֵּה־בַשָּׁמַיִם עֵדִי וְשָׂהֲדִי בַּמְּרֹומִים	19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
20 מְלִיצַי רֵעָי אֶל־אֱלֹוהַ דָּלְפָה עֵינִי	20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
21 וְיֹוכַח לְגֶבֶר עִם־אֱלֹוהַּ וּבֶן־אָדָם לְרֵעֵהוּ	21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
22 כִּי־שְׁנֹות מִסְפָּר יֶאֱתָיוּ וְאֹרַח לֹא־אָשׁוּב אֶהֱלֹךְ	22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
