| 1 Job spoke next. He said: | 1 וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר |
| 2 Doubtless, you are the voice of the people, and when you die, wisdom wil die with you! | 2 אָמְנָם כִּי אַתֶּם־עָם וְעִמָּכֶם תָּמוּת חָכְמָה |
| 3 But I have a brain, as well as you, I am in no way inferior to you, and who, in any case, does not know al that? | 3 גַּם־לִי לֵבָב ׀ כְּמֹוכֶם לֹא־נֹפֵל אָנֹכִי מִכֶּם וְאֶת־מִי־אֵין כְּמֹו־אֵלֶּה |
| 4 Anyone becomes a laughing-stock to his friends if he cries to God and expects an answer. Peoplelaugh at anyone who has integrity and is upright. | 4 שְׂחֹק לְרֵעֵהוּ ׀ אֶהְיֶה קֹרֵא לֶאֱלֹוהַּ וַיַּעֲנֵהוּ חֹוק צַדִּיק תָּמִים |
| 5 'Add insult to injury,' think the prosperous, 'strike the fel ow now that he is staggering!' | 5 לַפִּיד בּוּז לְעַשְׁתּוּת שַׁאֲנָן נָכֹון לְמֹועֲדֵי רָגֶל |
| 6 And yet the tents of brigands are left in peace: those who provoke God dwel secure and so doesanyone who makes a god of his fist! | 6 יִשְׁלָיוּ אֹהָלִים ׀ לְשֹׁדְדִים וּבַטֻּחֹות לְמַרְגִּיזֵי אֵל לַאֲשֶׁר הֵבִיא אֱלֹוהַּ בְּיָדֹו |
| 7 You have only to ask the cattle, for them to instruct you, and the birds of the sky, for them to informyou. | 7 וְאוּלָם שְׁאַל־נָא בְהֵמֹות וְתֹרֶךָּ וְעֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְיַגֶּד־לָךְ |
| 8 The creeping things of earth wil give you lessons, and the fish of the sea provide you an explanation: | 8 אֹו שִׂיחַ לָאָרֶץ וְתֹרֶךָּ וִיסַפְּרוּ לְךָ דְּגֵי הַיָּם |
| 9 there is not one such creature but wil know that the hand of God has arranged things like this! | 9 מִי לֹא־יָדַע בְּכָל־אֵלֶּה כִּי יַד־יְהוָה עָשְׂתָה זֹּאת |
| 10 In his hand is the soul of every living thing and the breath of every human being! | 10 אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדֹו נֶפֶשׁ כָּל־חָי וְרוּחַ כָּל־בְּשַׂר־אִישׁ |
| 11 Can the ear not distinguish the value of what is said, just as the palate can tel one food fromanother? | 11 הֲלֹא־אֹזֶן מִלִּין תִּבְחָן וְחֵךְ אֹכֶל יִטְעַם־לֹו |
| 12 Wisdom is found in the old, and discretion comes with great age. | 12 בִּישִׁישִׁים חָכְמָה וְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים תְּבוּנָה |
| 13 But in him there is wisdom, and power too, and good counsel no less than discretion. | 13 עִמֹּו חָכְמָה וּגְבוּרָה לֹו עֵצָה וּתְבוּנָה |
| 14 What he destroys, no one can rebuild; whom he imprisons, no one can release. | 14 הֵן יַהֲרֹוס וְלֹא יִבָּנֶה יִסְגֹּר עַל־אִישׁ וְלֹא יִפָּתֵחַ |
| 15 Is there a drought? He has withheld the waters. Do they play havoc on earth? He has let them loose. | 15 הֵן יַעְצֹר בַּמַּיִם וְיִבָשׁוּ וִישַׁלְּחֵם וְיַהַפְכוּ אָרֶץ |
| 16 In him is strength, in him resourcefulness, beguiler and beguiled alike are his. | 16 עִמֹּו עֹז וְתוּשִׁיָּה לֹו שֹׁגֵג וּמַשְׁגֶּה |
| 17 He robs a country's counsel ors of their wits, turns judges into fools. | 17 מֹולִיךְ יֹועֲצִים שֹׁולָל וְשֹׁפְטִים יְהֹולֵל |
| 18 He undoes the belts of kings and knots a rope round their waists. | 18 מוּסַר מְלָכִים פִּתֵּחַ וַיֶּאְסֹר אֵזֹור בְּמָתְנֵיהֶם |
| 19 He makes priests walk barefoot, and overthrows the powers that are established. | 19 מֹולִיךְ כֹּהֲנִים שֹׁולָל וְאֵתָנִים יְסַלֵּף |
| 20 He strikes the most assured of speakers dumb and robs old people of their discretion. | 20 מֵסִיר פָה לְנֶאֱמָנִים וְטַעַם זְקֵנִים יִקָּח |
| 21 He pours contempt on the nobly born, and unbuckles the belt of the strong. | 21 שֹׁופֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וּמְזִיחַ אֲפִיקִים רִפָּה |
| 22 He unveils the depths of darkness, brings shadow dark as death to the light. | 22 מְגַלֶּה עֲמֻקֹות מִנִּי־חֹשֶׁךְ וַיֹּצֵא לָאֹור צַלְמָוֶת |
| 23 He builds nations up, then ruins them, he makes peoples expand, then suppresses them. | 23 מַשְׂגִּיא לַגֹּויִם וַיְאַבְּדֵם שֹׁטֵחַ לַגֹּויִם וַיַּנְחֵם |
| 24 He strips a country's leaders of their judgement, and leaves them to wander in a trackless waste, | 24 מֵסִיר לֵב רָאשֵׁי עַם־הָאָרֶץ וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָרֶךְ |
| 25 to grope about in unlit darkness, lurching to and fro as though drunk. | 25 יְמַשְׁשׁוּ־חֹשֶׁךְ וְלֹא־אֹור וַיַּתְעֵם כַּשִּׁכֹּור |
