MODERN HEBREW BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ויען איוב ויאמר	1 Then Job responded by saying:
2 מה עזרת ללא כח הושעת זרוע לא עז	2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
3 מה יעצת ללא חכמה ותושיה לרב הודעת	3 To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
4 את מי הגדת מלין ונשמת מי יצאה ממך	4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
5 הרפאים יחוללו מתחת מים ושכניהם	5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
6 ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון	6 The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition.
7 נטה צפון על תהו תלה ארץ על בלי מה	7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
8 צרר מים בעביו ולא נבקע ענן תחתם	8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
9 מאחז פני כסה פרשז עליו עננו	9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
10 חק חג על פני מים עד תכלית אור עם חשך	10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
11 עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו	11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
12 בכחו רגע הים ובתובנתו מחץ רהב	12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
13 ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש בריח	13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
14 הן אלה קצות דרכו ומה שמץ דבר נשמע בו ורעם גבורתו מי יתבונן	14 Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
