1 הֶן־כֹּל רָאֲתָה עֵינִי שָׁמְעָה אָזְנִי וַתָּבֶן לָהּ	1 Behold, my eye has seen all these things, and my ear has heard, and I have understood each one.
2 כְּדַעְתְּכֶם יָדַעְתִּי גַם־אָנִי לֹא־נֹפֵל אָנֹכִי מִכֶּם	2 In conformity with your knowledge, I also know. I am not inferior to you.
3 אוּלָם אֲנִי אֶל־שַׁדַּי אֲדַבֵּר וְהֹוכֵחַ אֶל־אֵל אֶחְפָּץ	3 Yet I speak this way to the Almighty, and I desire to argue with God,
4 וְאוּלָם אַתֶּם טֹפְלֵי־שָׁקֶר רֹפְאֵי אֱלִל כֻּלְּכֶם	4 having first shown that you fabricate lies and cultivate perverse teachings.
5 מִי־יִתֵּן הַחֲרֵשׁ תַּחֲרִישׁוּן וּתְהִי לָכֶם לְחָכְמָה	5 And I wish that you would remain silent, so that you would be counted among the wise.
6 שִׁמְעוּ־נָא תֹוכַחְתִּי וְרִבֹות שְׂפָתַי הַקְשִׁיבוּ	6 Therefore, listen to my correction, and pay attention to the judgment of my lips.
7 הַלְאֵל תְּדַבְּרוּ עַוְלָה וְלֹו תְּדַבְּרוּ רְמִיָּה	7 Does God require your lie, so that you would speak deceitfully for him?
8 הֲפָנָיו תִּשָּׂאוּן אִם־לָאֵל תְּרִיבוּן	8 Have you taken his place, and do you struggle to give judgment in favor of God?
9 הֲטֹוב כִּי־יַחְקֹר אֶתְכֶם אִם־כְּהָתֵל בֶּאֱנֹושׁ תְּהָתֵלּוּ בֹו	9 Or, will it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? Or, will he be deceived, like a man, by your deceitfulness?
10 הֹוכֵחַ יֹוכִיחַ אֶתְכֶם אִם־בַּסֵּתֶר פָּנִים תִּשָּׂאוּן	10 He will accuse you because in secret you have preempted his presence.
11 הֲלֹא אֵתֹו תְּבַעֵת אֶתְכֶם וּפַחְדֹּו יִפֹּל עֲלֵיכֶם	11 As soon as he moves himself, he will disturb you, and his dread will fall over you.
12 זִכְרֹנֵיכֶם מִשְׁלֵי־אֵפֶר לְגַבֵּי־חֹמֶר גַּבֵּיכֶם	12 Your remembrance will be compared to ashes, and your necks will be reduced to clay.
13 הַחֲרִישׁוּ מִמֶּנִּי וַאֲדַבְּרָה־אָנִי וְיַעֲבֹר עָלַי מָה	13 Be silent for a little while, so that I may speak whatever my mind suggests to me.
14 עַל־מָה ׀ אֶשָּׂא בְשָׂרִי בְשִׁנָּי וְנַפְשִׁי אָשִׂים בְּכַפִּי	14 Why do I wound my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?
15 הֵן יִקְטְלֵנִי [לֹא כ] (לֹו ק) אֲיַחֵל אַךְ־דְּרָכַי אֶל־פָּנָיו אֹוכִיחַ	15 And now, if he would kill me, I will hope in him; in this, truly, I will correct my ways in his sight.
16 גַּם־הוּא־לִי לִישׁוּעָה כִּי־לֹא לְפָנָיו חָנֵף יָבֹוא	16 And he will be my savior, for no hypocrite at all will approach in his sight.
17 שִׁמְעוּ מֹועַ מִלָּתִי וְאַחֲוָתִי בְּאָזְנֵיכֶם	17 Listen to my words, and perceive an enigma with your ears.
18 הִנֵּה־נָא עָרַכְתִּי מִשְׁפָּט יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־אֲנִי אֶצְדָּק	18 If I will be judged, I know that I will be found to be just.
19 מִי־הוּא יָרִיב עִמָּדִי כִּי־עַתָּה אַחֲרִישׁ וְאֶגְוָע	19 Who is it that will go to judgment with me? Let him approach. Why should I be consumed in silence?
20 אַךשְְׁ־תַּיִם אַל־תַּעַשׂ עִמָּדִי אָז מִפָּנֶיךָ לֹא אֶסָּתֵר	20 Do not do such things to me twice, and then I will not hide from your face.
21 כַּפְּךָ מֵעָלַי הַרְחַק וְאֵמָתְךָ אַל־תְּבַעֲתַנִּי	21 Take your hand far away from me, and do not let your dread terrify me.
22 וּקְרָא וְאָנֹכִי אֶעֱנֶה אֹו־אֲדַבֵּר וַהֲשִׁיבֵנִי	22 Call me, and I will answer you, or else I will speak, and you can answer me.
23 כַּמָּה לִי עֲוֹנֹות וְחַטָּאֹות פִּשְׁעִי וְחַטָּאתִי הֹדִיעֵנִי	23 How many iniquities and sins do I have? Reveal my crimes and offenses to me.
24 לָמָּה־פָנֶיךָ תַסְתִּיר וְתַחְשְׁבֵנִי לְאֹויֵב לָךְ	24 Why do you conceal your face and consider me to be your enemy?
25 הֶעָלֶה נִדָּף תַּעֲרֹוץ וְאֶת־קַשׁ יָבֵשׁ תִּרְדֹּף	25 Against a leaf, which is carried away by the wind, you reveal your power, and you pursue dry straw.
26 כִּי־תִכְתֹּב עָלַי מְרֹרֹות וְתֹורִישֵׁנִי עֲוֹנֹות נְעוּרָי	26 For you write bitter things against me, and you want to consume me for the sins of my youth.
27 וְתָשֵׂם בַּסַּד ׀ רַגְלַי וְתִשְׁמֹור כָּל־אָרְחֹותָי עַל־שָׁרְשֵׁי רַגְלַי תִּתְחַקֶּה	27 You have put my feet on a tether, and you have observed all my paths, and you have considered the steps of my feet.
28 וְהוּא כְּרָקָב יִבְלֶה כְּבֶגֶד אֲכָלֹו עָשׁ	28 I will be left to decay like something rotten and like a garment that is being eaten by moths.
