1 וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר	1 Then Job responded by saying:
2 מֶה־עָזַרְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹחַ הֹושַׁעְתָּ זְרֹועַ לֹא־עֹז	2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
3 מַה־יָּעַצְתָּ לְלֹא חָכְמָה וְתוּשִׁיָּה לָרֹב הֹודָעְתָּ	3 To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
4 אֶת־מִי הִגַּדְתָּ מִלִּין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִי יָצְאָה מִמֶּךָּ	4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
5 הָרְפָאִים יְחֹולָלוּ מִתַּחַת מַיִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶם	5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
6 עָרֹום שְׁאֹול נֶגְדֹּו וְאֵין כְּסוּת לָאֲבַדֹּון	6 The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition.
7 נֹטֶה צָפֹון עַל־תֹּהוּ תֹּלֶה אֶרֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָה	7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
8 צֹרֵר־מַיִם בְּעָבָיו וְלֹא־נִבְקַע עָנָן תַּחְתָּם	8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
9 מְאַחֵז פְּנֵי־כִסֵּה פַּרְשֵׁז עָלָיו עֲנָנֹו	9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
10 חֹק־חָג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָיִם עַד־תַּכְלִית אֹור עִם־חֹשֶׁךְ	10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
11 עַמּוּדֵי שָׁמַיִם יְרֹופָפוּ וְיִתְמְהוּ מִגַּעֲרָתֹו	11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
12 בְּכֹחֹו רָגַע הַיָּם [וּבִתוּבְנָתֹו כ] (וּבִתְבוּנָתֹו ק) מָחַץ רָהַב	12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
13 בְּרוּחֹו שָׁמַיִם שִׁפְרָה חֹלֲלָה יָדֹו נָחָשׁ בָּרִיחַ	13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
14 הֶן־אֵלֶּה ׀ קְצֹות [דַּרְכֹּו כ] (דְּרָכָיו ק) וּמַה־שֵּׁמֶץ דָּבָר נִשְׁמַע־בֹּו וְרַעַם [גְּבוּרָתֹו כ] (גְּבוּרֹותָיו ק) מִי יִתְבֹּונָן׃ ס	14 Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
