| 1 אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקֹומֹו | 1 "At this also my heart trembles, and leaps out of its place. |
| 2 שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמֹועַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלֹו וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵא | 2 Hearken to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. |
| 3 תַּחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאֹורֹו עַל־כַּנְפֹות הָאָרֶץ | 3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth. |
| 4 אַחֲרָיו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קֹול יַרְעֵם בְּקֹול גְּאֹונֹו וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּי־יִשָּׁמַע קֹולֹו | 4 After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard. |
| 5 יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקֹולֹו נִפְלָאֹות עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלֹות וְלֹא נֵדָע | 5 God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things which we cannot comprehend. |
| 6 כִּי לַשֶּׁלַג ׀ יֹאמַר הֱוֵא אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרֹות עֻזֹּו | 6 For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the earth'; and to the shower and the rain, 'Be strong.' |
| 7 בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָם יַחְתֹּום לָדַעַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵׂהוּ | 7 He seals 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 their lairs, and remain in their dens. |
| 9 מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבֹוא סוּפָה וּמִמְּזָרִים קָרָה | 9 From its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds. |
| 10 מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָק | 10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast. |
| 11 אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אֹורֹו | 11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning. |
| 12 וְהוּא מְסִבֹּות ׀ מִתְהַפֵּךְ [בְּתַחְבּוּלָתֹו כ] (בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָיו ק) לְפָעֳלָם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָרְצָה | 12 They turn round and round by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world. |
| 13 אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצֹו אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵהוּ | 13 Whether for correction, or for his land, or for love, he causes it to happen. |
| 14 הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיֹּוב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבֹּונֵן ׀ נִפְלְאֹות אֵל | 14 "Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God. |
| 15 הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלֹוהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהֹופִיעַ אֹור עֲנָנֹו | 15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? |
| 16 הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאֹות תְּמִים דֵּעִים | 16 Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge, |
| 17 אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֹום | 17 you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind? |
| 18 תַּרְקִיעַ עִמֹּו לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָק | 18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror? |
| 19 הֹודִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לֹו לֹא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹשֶׁךְ | 19 Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness. |
| 20 הַיְסֻפַּר־לֹו כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּע | 20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up? |
| 21 וְעַתָּה ׀ לֹא רָאוּ אֹור בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַתְּטַהֲרֵם | 21 "And now men cannot look on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them. |
| 22 מִצָּפֹון זָהָב יֶאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלֹוהַּ נֹורָא הֹוד | 22 Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with terrible majesty. |
| 23 שַׁדַּי לֹא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּה | 23 The Almighty--we cannot find him; he is great in power and justice, and abundant righteousness he will not violate. |
| 24 לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹא־יִרְאֶה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵב׃ פ | 24 Therefore men fear him; he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit." |
