1 אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקֹומֹו | 1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. |
2 שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמֹועַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלֹו וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵא | 2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. |
3 תַּחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאֹורֹו עַל־כַּנְפֹות הָאָרֶץ | 3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. |
4 אַחֲרָיו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קֹול יַרְעֵם בְּקֹול גְּאֹונֹו וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּי־יִשָּׁמַע קֹולֹו | 4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. |
5 יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקֹולֹו נִפְלָאֹות עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלֹות וְלֹא נֵדָע | 5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. |
6 כִּי לַשֶּׁלַג ׀ יֹאמַר הֱוֵא אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרֹות עֻזֹּו | 6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. |
7 בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָם יַחְתֹּום לָדַעַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵׂהוּ | 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. |
8 וַתָּבֹא חַיָּה בְמֹו־אָרֶב וּבִמְעֹונֹתֶיהָ תִשְׁכֹּן | 8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. |
9 מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבֹוא סוּפָה וּמִמְּזָרִים קָרָה | 9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. |
10 מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָק | 10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. |
11 אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אֹורֹו | 11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: |
12 וְהוּא מְסִבֹּות ׀ מִתְהַפֵּךְ [בְּתַחְבּוּלָתֹו כ] (בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָיו ק) לְפָעֳלָם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָרְצָה | 12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. |
13 אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצֹו אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵהוּ | 13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. |
14 הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיֹּוב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבֹּונֵן ׀ נִפְלְאֹות אֵל | 14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. |
15 הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלֹוהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהֹופִיעַ אֹור עֲנָנֹו | 15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? |
16 הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאֹות תְּמִים דֵּעִים | 16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? |
17 אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֹום | 17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? |
18 תַּרְקִיעַ עִמֹּו לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָק | 18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? |
19 הֹודִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לֹו לֹא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹשֶׁךְ | 19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. |
20 הַיְסֻפַּר־לֹו כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּע | 20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. |
21 וְעַתָּה ׀ לֹא רָאוּ אֹור בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַתְּטַהֲרֵם | 21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. |
22 מִצָּפֹון זָהָב יֶאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלֹוהַּ נֹורָא הֹוד | 22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. |
23 שַׁדַּי לֹא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּה | 23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. |
24 לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹא־יִרְאֶה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵב׃ פ | 24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. |
