STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 וַיֹּסֶף אִיֹּוב שְׂאֵת מְשָׁלֹו וַיֹּאמַר	1 Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:
2 חַי־אֵל הֵסִיר מִשְׁפָּטִי וְשַׁדַּי הֵמַר נַפְשִׁי	2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,
3 כִּי־כָל־עֹוד נִשְׁמָתִי בִי וְרוּחַ אֱלֹוהַּ בְּאַפִּי	3 as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4 אִם־תְּדַבֵּרְנָה שְׂפָתַי עַוְלָה וּלְשֹׁונִי אִם־יֶהְגֶּה רְמִיָּה	4 my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies.
5 חָלִילָה לִּי אִם־אַצְדִּיק אֶתְכֶם עַד־אֶגְוָע לֹא־אָסִיר תֻּמָּתִי מִמֶּנִּי	5 Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.
6 בְּצִדְקָתִי הֶחֱזַקְתִּי וְלֹא אַרְפֶּהָ לֹא־יֶחֱרַף לְבָבִי מִיָּמָי	6 I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life.
7 יְהִי כְרָשָׁע אֹיְבִי וּמִתְקֹומְמִי כְעַוָּל	7 Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.
8 כִּי מַה־תִּקְוַת חָנֵף כִּי יִבְצָע כִּי יֵשֶׁל אֱלֹוהַּ נַפְשֹׁו	8 For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?
9 הַצַעֲקָתֹו יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֵל כִּי־תָבֹוא עָלָיו צָרָה	9 Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?
10 אִם־עַל־שַׁדַּי יִתְעַנָּג יִקְרָא אֱלֹוהַּ בְּכָל־עֵת	10 Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times?
11 אֹורֶה אֶתְכֶם בְּיַד־אֵל אֲשֶׁר עִםשַׁ־דַּי לֹא אֲכַחֵד	11 I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it.
12 הֵן־אַתֶּם כֻּלְּכֶם חֲזִיתֶם וְלָמָּה־זֶּה הֶבֶל תֶּהְבָּלוּ	12 Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason?
13 זֶה ׀ חֵלֶק־אָדָם רָשָׁע ׀ עִם־אֵל וְנַחֲלַת עָרִיצִים מִשַּׁדַּי יִקָּחוּ	13 This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from the Almighty.
14 אִם־יִרְבּוּ בָנָיו לְמֹו־חָרֶב וְצֶאֱצָאָיו לֹא יִשְׂבְּעוּ־לָחֶם	14 If his sons should happen to increase, they will be for the sword, and his grandsons will not be satisfied with bread.
15 [שְׂרִידֹו כ] (רִידָיו ק) בַּמָּוֶת יִקָּבֵרוּ וְאַלְמְנֹתָיו לֹא תִבְכֶּינָה	15 Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep.
16 אִם־יִצְבֹּר כֶּעָפָר כָּסֶף וְכַחֹמֶר יָכִין מַלְבּוּשׁ	16 If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,
17 יָכִין וְצַדִּיק יִלְבָּשׁ וְכֶסֶף נָקִי יַחֲלֹק	17 then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.
18 בָּנָה כָעָשׁ בֵּיתֹו וּכְסֻכָּה עָשָׂה נֹצֵר	18 He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.
19 עָשִׁיר יִשְׁכַּב וְלֹא יֵאָסֵף עֵינָיו פָּקַח וְאֵינֶנּוּ	19 When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.
20 תַּשִּׂיגֵהוּ כַמַּיִם בַּלָּהֹות לַיְלָה גְּנָבַתּוּ סוּפָה	20 Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.
21 יִשָּׂאֵהוּ קָדִים וְיֵלַךְ וִישָׂעֲרֵהוּ מִמְּקֹמֹו	21 A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.
22 וְיַשְׁלֵךְ עָלָיו וְלֹא יַחְמֹל מִיָּדֹו בָּרֹוחַ יִבְרָח	22 And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.
23 יִשְׂפֹּק עָלֵימֹו כַפֵּימֹו וְיִשְׁרֹק עָלָיו מִמְּקֹמֹו	23 He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation.
