STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 הֵן־תֹּחַלְתֹּו נִכְזָבָה הֲגַם אֶל־מַרְאָיו יֻטָל	1 I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for who can resist my countenance?
2 לֹא־אַכְזָר כִּי יְעוּרֶנּוּ וּמִי הוּא לְפָנַי יִתְיַצָּב	2 Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
3 מִי הִקְדִּימַנִי וַאֲשַׁלֵּם תַּחַת כָּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם לִי־הוּא	3 I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.
4 [לֹא־ כ] (לֹו־אַחֲרִישׁ ק) בַּדָּיו וּדְבַר־גְּבוּרֹות וְחִין עֶרְכֹּו	4 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?
5 מִי־גִלָּה פְּנֵי לְבוּשֹׁו בְּכֶפֶל רִסְנֹו מִי יָבֹוא	5 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
6 דַּלְתֵי פָנָיו מִי פִתֵּחַ סְבִיבֹות שִׁנָּיו אֵימָה	6 His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.
7 גַּאֲוָה אֲפִיקֵי מָגִנִּים סָגוּר חֹותָם צָר	7 One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them :
8 אֶחָד בְּאֶחָד יִגַּשׁוּ וְרוּחַ לֹא־יָבֹוא בֵינֵיהֶם	8 They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.
9 אִישׁ־בְּאָחִיהוּ יְדֻבָּקוּ יִתְלַכְּדוּ וְלֹא יִתְפָּרָדוּ	9 His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.
10 עֲ‍טִישֹׁתָיו תָּהֶל אֹור וְעֵינָיו כְּעַפְעַפֵּי־שָׁחַר	10 Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.
11 מִפִּיו לַפִּידִים יַהֲלֹכוּ כִּידֹודֵי אֵשׁ יִתְמַלָּטוּ	11 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.
12 מִנְּחִירָיו יֵצֵא עָשָׁן כְּדוּד נָפוּחַ וְאַגְמֹן	12 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.
13 נַפְשֹׁו גֶּחָלִים תְּלַהֵט וְלַהַב מִפִּיו יֵצֵא	13 In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.
14 בְּצַוָּארֹו יָלִין עֹז וּלְפָנָיו תָּדוּץ דְּאָבָה	14 The members of his flesh cleave one to another : he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.
15 מַפְּלֵי בְשָׂרֹו דָבֵקוּ יָצוּק עָלָיו בַּל־יִמֹּוט	15 His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.
16 לִבֹּו יָצוּק כְּמֹו־אָבֶן וְיָצוּק כְּפֶלַח תַּחְתִּית	16 When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.
17 מִשֵּׂתֹו יָגוּרוּ אֵלִים מִשְּׁבָרִים יִתְחַטָּאוּ	17 When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
18 מַשִּׂיגֵהוּ חֶרֶב בְּלִי תָקוּם חֲנִית מַסָּע וְשִׁרְיָה	18 For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
19 יַחְשֹׁב לְתֶבֶן בַּרְזֶל לְעֵץ רִקָּבֹון נְחוּשָׁה	19 The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.
20 לֹא־יַבְרִיחֶנּוּ בֶן־קָשֶׁת לְקַשׁ נֶהְפְּכוּ־לֹו אַבְנֵי־קָלַע	20 As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.
21 כְּקַשׁ נֶחְשְׁבוּ תֹותָח וְיִשְׂחַק לְרַעַשׁ כִּידֹון	21 The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.
22 תַּחְתָּיו חַדּוּדֵי חָרֶשׂ יִרְפַּד חָרוּץ עֲלֵי־טִיט	22 He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.
23 יַרְתִּיחַ כַּסִּיר מְצוּלָה יָם יָשִׂים כַּמֶּרְקָחָה	23 A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.
24 אַחֲרָיו יָאִיר נָתִיב יַחְשֹׁב תְּהֹום לְשֵׂיבָה	24 There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.
25 אֵין־עַל־עָפָר מָשְׁלֹו הֶעָשׂוּ לִבְלִי־חָת	25 He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
26 אֵת־כָּל־גָּבֹהַּ יִרְאֶה הוּא מֶלֶךְ עַל־כָּל־בְּנֵי־שָׁחַץ׃ ס
