New American Bible	Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah
¹ Then Job replied and said:	¹ וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
² No doubt you are the intelligent folk, and with you wisdom shall die!	² אׇמְנָם כִּי אַתֶּם־עָםוְעִמָּכֶם תָּמוּת חׇכְמָֽה׃
³ But I have intelligence as well as you; for who does not know such things as these?	³ גַּם־לִי לֵבָב ׀ כְּֽמוֹכֶםלֹא־נֹפֵל אָנֹכִי מִכֶּםוְאֶת־מִי־אֵין כְּמוֹ־אֵֽלֶּה׃
⁴ I have become the sport of my neighbors: "The one whom God answers when he calls upon him, The just, the perfect man," is a laughing-stock;	⁴ שְׂחֹק לְרֵעֵהוּ ׀ אֶהְיֶהקֹרֵא לֶאֱלוֹהַּ וַֽיַּעֲנֵהוּשְׂחוֹק צַדִּיק תָּמִֽים׃
⁵ The undisturbed esteem my downfall a disgrace such as awaits unsteady feet;	⁵ לַפִּיד בּוּז לְעַשְׁתּוּת שַׁאֲנָןנָכוֹן לְמוֹעֲדֵי רָֽגֶל׃
⁶ Yet the tents of robbers are prosperous, and those who provoke God are secure.	⁶ יִשְׁלָיוּ אֹהָלִים ׀ לְשֹׁדְדִיםוּֽבַטֻּחוֹת לְמַרְגִּיזֵי אֵללַאֲשֶׁר הֵבִיא אֱלוֹהַּ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
⁷ But now ask the beasts to teach you, and the birds of the air to tell you;	⁷ וְֽאוּלָם שְׁאַל־נָא בְהֵמוֹת וְתֹרֶךָּוְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְיַגֶּד־לָֽךְ׃
⁸ Or the reptiles on earth to instruct you, and the fish of the sea to inform you.	⁸ אוֹ שִׂיחַ לָאָרֶץ וְתֹרֶךָּוִיסַפְּרוּ לְךָ דְּגֵי הַיָּֽם׃
⁹ Which of all these does not know that the hand of God has done this?	⁹ מִי לֹא־יָדַע בְּכׇל־אֵלֶּהכִּי יַד־יְהֹוָה עָשְׂתָה זֹּֽאת׃
¹⁰ In his hand is the soul of every living thing, and the life breath of all mankind.	¹⁰ אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ נֶפֶשׁ כׇּל־חָיוְרוּחַ כׇּל־בְּשַׂר־אִֽישׁ׃
¹¹ Does not the ear judge words as the mouth tastes food?	¹¹ הֲלֹא־אֹזֶן מִלִּין תִּבְחָןוְחֵךְ אֹכֶל יִטְעַם־לֽוֹ׃
¹² So with old age is wisdom, and with length of days understanding.	¹² בִּישִׁישִׁים חׇכְמָהוְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים תְּבוּנָֽה׃
¹³ With him are wisdom and might; his are counsel and understanding.	¹³ עִמּוֹ חׇכְמָה וּגְבוּרָהלוֹ עֵצָה וּתְבוּנָֽה׃
¹⁴ If he breaks a thing down, there is no rebuilding; if he imprisons a man, there is no release.	¹⁴ הֵן יַהֲרוֹס וְלֹא יִבָּנֶהיִסְגֹּר עַל־אִישׁ וְלֹא יִפָּתֵֽחַ׃
¹⁵ He holds back the waters and there is drought; he sends them forth and they overwhelm the land.	¹⁵ הֵן יַעְצֹר בַּמַּיִם וְיִבָשׁוּוִישַׁלְּחֵם וְיַהַפְכוּ אָֽרֶץ׃
¹⁶ With him are strength and prudence; the misled and the misleaders are his.	¹⁶ עִמּוֹ עֹז וְתוּשִׁיָּהלוֹ שֹׁגֵג וּמַשְׁגֶּֽה׃
¹⁷ He sends counselors away barefoot, and of judges he makes fools.	¹⁷ מוֹלִיךְ יוֹעֲצִים שׁוֹלָלוְֽשֹׁפְטִים יְהוֹלֵֽל׃
¹⁸ He loosens the bonds imposed by kings and leaves but a waistcloth to bind the king's own loins.	¹⁸ מוּסַר מְלָכִים פִּתֵּחַוַיֶּאְסֹר אֵזוֹר בְּמׇתְנֵיהֶֽם׃
¹⁹ and lets their never-failing waters flow away.	¹⁹ מוֹלִיךְ כֹּהֲנִים שׁוֹלָלוְאֵתָנִים יְסַלֵּֽף׃
²⁰ He silences the trusted adviser, and takes discretion from the aged.	²⁰ מֵסִיר שָׂפָה לְנֶאֱמָנִיםוְטַעַם זְקֵנִים יִקָּֽח׃
²¹ He breaks down the barriers of the streams	²¹ שׁוֹפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִיםוּמְזִיחַ אֲפִיקִים רִפָּֽה׃
²² The recesses of the darkness he discloses, and brings the gloom forth to the light.	²² מְגַלֶּה עֲמֻקוֹת מִנִּי־חֹשֶׁךְוַיֹּצֵא לָאוֹר צַלְמָֽוֶת׃
²³ He makes nations great and he destroys them; he spreads peoples abroad and he abandons them.	²³ מַשְׂגִּיא לַגּוֹיִם וַֽיְאַבְּדֵםשֹׁטֵחַ לַגּוֹיִם וַיַּנְחֵֽם׃
²⁴ He takes understanding from the leaders of the land,	²⁴ מֵסִיר לֵב רָאשֵׁי עַם־הָאָרֶץוַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃
²⁵ till they grope in the darkness without light; he makes them stagger like drunken men.	²⁵ יְמַֽשְׁשׁוּ־חֹשֶׁךְ וְלֹא־אוֹרוַיַּתְעֵם כַּשִּׁכּֽוֹר׃
