| 1 If I have made an agreement with my eyes and entertained any thoughts against a maiden; | 1 בְּרִית כָּרַתִּי לְעֵינָי וּמָה אֶתְבֹּונֵן עַל־בְּתוּלָה |
| 2 But what is man's lot from God above, his inheritance from the Almighty on high? | 2 וּמֶה ׀ חֵלֶק אֱלֹוהַּ מִמָּעַל וְנַחֲלַת דַּי מִמְּרֹמִים |
| 3 Is it not calamity for the unrighteous, and woe for evildoers? | 3 הֲלֹא־אֵיד לְעַוָּל וְנֵכֶר לְפֹעֲלֵי אָוֶן |
| 4 Does he not see my ways, and number all my steps? | 4 הֲלֹא־הוּא יִרְאֶה דְרָכָי וְכָל־צְעָדַי יִסְפֹּור |
| 5 If I have walked in falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit; | 5 אִם־הָלַכְתִּי עִם־שָׁוְא וַתַּחַשׁ עַל־מִרְמָה רַגְלִי |
| 6 Let God weigh me in the scales of justice; thus will he know my innocence! | 6 יִשְׁקְלֵנִי בְמֹאזְנֵי־צֶדֶק וְיֵדַע אֱלֹוהַּ תֻּמָּתִי |
| 7 If my steps have turned out of the way, and my heart has followed my eyes, or any stain clings to my hands, | 7 אִם תִּטֶּה אַשֻּׁרִי מִנִּי הַדָּרֶךְ וְאַחַר עֵינַי הָלַךְ לִבִּי וּבְכַפַּי דָּבַק מֻאוּם ׃ פ |
| 8 Then may I sow, but another eat of it, or may my planting be rooted up! | 8 אֶזְרְעָה וְאַחֵר יֹאכֵל וְצֶאֱצָאַי יְשֹׁרָשׁוּ |
| 9 If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door; | 9 אִם־נִפְתָּה לִבִּי עַל־אִשָּׁה וְעַל־פֶּתַח רֵעִי אָרָבְתִּי |
| 10 Then may my wife grind for another, and may others cohabit with her! | 10 תִּטְחַן לְאַחֵר אִשְׁתִּי וְעָלֶיהָ יִכְרְעוּן אֲחֵרִין |
| 11 For that would be heinous, a crime to be condemned; | 11 כִּי־ [הוּא כ] (הִיא ק) זִמָּה [וְהִיא כ] (וְהוּא ק) עָוֹן פְּלִילִים |
| 12 A fire that should burn down to the abyss till it consumed all my possessions to the roots. | 12 כִּי אֵשׁ הִיא עַד־אֲבַדֹּון תֹּאכֵל וּבְכָל־תְּבוּאָתִי תְשָׁרֵשׁ |
| 13 Had I refused justice to my manservant or to my maid, when they had a claim against me, | 13 אִם־אֶמְאַס מִשְׁפַּט עַבְדִּי וַאֲמָתִי בְּרִבָם עִמָּדִי |
| 14 What then should I do when God rose up; what could I answer when he demanded an account? | 14 וּמָה אֶעֱשֶׂה כִּי־יָקוּם אֵל וְכִי־יִפְקֹד מָה אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ |
| 15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him? Did not the same One fashion us before our birth? | 15 הֲלֹא־בַבֶּטֶן עֹשֵׂנִי עָשָׂהוּ וַיְכֻנֶנּוּ בָּרֶחֶם אֶחָד |
| 16 If I have denied anything to the poor, or allowed the eyes of the widow to languish | 16 אִם־אֶמְנַע מֵחֵפֶץ דַּלִּים וְעֵינֵי אַלְמָנָה אֲכַלֶּה |
| 17 While I ate my portion alone, with no share in it for the fatherless, | 17 וְאֹכַל פִּתִּי לְבַדִּי וְלֹא־אָכַל יָתֹום מִמֶּנָּה |
| 18 Though like a father God has reared me from my youth, guiding me even from my mother's womb-- | 18 כִּי מִנְּעוּרַי גְּדֵלַנִי כְאָב וּמִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אַנְחֶנָּה |
| 19 If I have seen a wanderer without clothing, or a poor man without covering, | 19 אִם־אֶרְאֶה אֹובֵד מִבְּלִי לְבוּשׁ וְאֵין כְּסוּת לָאֶבְיֹון |
| 20 Whose limbs have not blessed me when warmed with the fleece of my sheep; | 20 אִם־לֹא בֵרֲכוּנִי [חֲלָצֹו כ] (חֲלָצָיו ק) וּמִגֵּז כְּבָשַׂי יִתְחַמָּם |
| 21 If I have raised my hand against the innocent because I saw that I had supporters at the gate-- | 21 אִם־הֲנִיפֹותִי עַל־יָתֹום יָדִי כִּי־אֶרְאֶה בַשַּׁעַר עֶזְרָתִי |
| 22 Then may my arm fall from the shoulder, my forearm be broken at the elbow! | 22 כְּתֵפִי מִשִּׁכְמָה תִפֹּול וְאֶזְרֹעִי מִקָּנָה תִשָּׁבֵר |
| 23 For the dread of God will be upon me, and his majesty will overpower me. | 23 כִּי פַחַד אֵלַי אֵיד אֵל וּמִשְּׂאֵתֹו לֹא אוּכָל |
| 24 Had I put my trust in gold or called fine gold my security; | 24 אִם־שַׂמְתִּי זָהָב כִּסְלִי וְלַכֶּתֶם אָמַרְתִּי מִבְטַחִי |
| 25 Or had I rejoiced that my wealth was great, or that my hand had acquired abundance-- | 25 אִם־אֶשְׂמַח כִּי־רַב חֵילִי וְכִי־כַבִּיר מָצְאָה יָדִי |
| 26 Had I looked upon the sun as it shone, or the moon in the splendor of its progress, | 26 אִם־אֶרְאֶה אֹור כִּי יָהֵל וְיָרֵחַ יָקָר הֹלֵךְ |
| 27 And had my heart been secretly enticed to waft them a kiss with my hand; | 27 וַיִּפְתְּ בַּסֵּתֶר לִבִּי וַתִּשַּׁק יָדִי לְפִי |
| 28 This too would be a crime for condemnation, for I should have denied God above. | 28 גַּם־הוּא עָוֹן פְּלִילִי כִּי־כִחַשְׁתִּי לָאֵל מִמָּעַל |
| 29 Had I rejoiced at the destruction of my enemy or exulted when evil fell upon him, | 29 אִם־אֶשְׂמַח בְּפִיד מְשַׂנְאִי וְהִתְעֹרַרְתִּי כִּי־מְצָאֹו רָע |
| 30 Even though I had not suffered my mouth to sin by uttering a curse against his life-- | 30 וְלֹא־נָתַתִּי לַחֲטֹא חִכִּי לִשְׁאֹל בְּאָלָה נַפְשֹׁו |
| 31 Had not the men of my tent exclaimed, "Who has not been fed with his meat!" | 31 אִם־לֹא אָמְרוּ מְתֵי אָהֳלִי מִי־יִתֵּן מִבְּשָׂרֹו לֹא נִשְׂבָּע |
| 32 Because no stranger lodged in the street, but I opened my door to wayfarers-- | 32 בַּחוּץ לֹא־יָלִין גֵּר דְּלָתַי לָאֹרַח אֶפְתָּח |
| 33 Had I, out of human weakness, hidden my sins and buried my guilt in my bosom | 33 אִם־כִּסִּיתִי כְאָדָם פְּשָׁעָי לִטְמֹון בְּחֻבִּי עֲוֹנִי |
| 34 Because I feared the noisy multitude and the scorn of the tribes terrified me- then I should have remained silent, and not come out of doors! | 34 כִּי אֶעֱרֹוץ ׀ הָמֹון רַבָּה וּבוּז־מִשְׁפָּחֹות יְחִתֵּנִי וָאֶדֹּם לֹא־אֵצֵא פָתַח |
| 35 Oh, that I had one to hear my case, and that my accuser would write out his indictment! | 35 מִי יִתֶּן־לִי ׀ שֹׁמֵעַ לִי הֶן־תָּוִי שַׁדַּי יַעֲנֵנִי וְסֵפֶר כָּתַב אִישׁ רִיבִי |
| 36 Surely, I should wear it on my shoulder or put it on me like a diadem; | 36 אִם־לֹא עַלשִׁ־כְמִי אֶשָּׂאֶנּוּ אֶעֶנְדֶנּוּ עֲטָרֹות לִי |
| 37 Of all my steps I should give him an account; like a prince I should present myself before him. This is my final plea; let the Almighty answer me! The words of Job are ended. | 37 מִסְפַּר צְעָדַי אַגִּידֶנּוּ כְּמֹו־נָגִיד אֲקָרֲבֶנּוּ |
| 38 If my land has cried out against me till its very furrows complained; | 38 אִם־עָלַי אַדְמָתִי תִזְעָק וְיַחַד תְּלָמֶיהָ יִבְכָּיוּן |
| 39 If I have eaten its produce without payment and grieved the hearts of its tenants; | 39 אִם־כֹּחָהּ אָכַלְתִּי בְלִי־כָסֶף וְנֶפֶשׁ בְּעָלֶיהָ הִפָּחְתִּי |
| 40 Then let the thistles grow instead of wheat and noxious weeds instead of barley! | 40 תַּחַת חִטָּה ׀ יֵצֵא חֹוחַ וְתַחַת־שְׂעֹרָה בָאְשָׁה תַּמּוּ דִּבְרֵי אִיֹּוב׃ פ |
