1 וַיַּעַן־יְהוָה אֶת־אִיֹּוב [מִן כ] [הַסְּעָרָה כ] (מִן ׀ ק) (הַסְּעָרָה ק) וַיֹּאמַר1 Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said :
2 מִי זֶה ׀ מַחְשִׁיךְ עֵצָה בְמִלִּין בְּלִי־דָעַת2 Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words?
3 אֱזָר־נָא כְגֶבֶר חֲלָצֶיךָ וְאֶשְׁאָלְךָ וְהֹודִיעֵנִי3 Gird up thy loins like a man : I will ask thee, and answer thou me.
4 אֵיפֹה הָיִיתָ בְּיָסְדִי־אָרֶץ הַגֵּד אִם־יָדַעְתָּ בִינָה4 Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth ? tell me if thou hast understanding.
5 מִי־שָׂם מְמַדֶּיהָ כִּי תֵדָע אֹו מִי־נָטָה עָלֶיהָ קָּו5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 עַל־מָה אֲדָנֶיהָ הָטְבָּעוּ אֹו מִי־יָרָה אֶבֶן פִּנָּתָהּ6 Upon what are its bases grounded? or who laid the corner stone thereof,
7 בְּרָן־יַחַד כֹּוכְבֵי בֹקֶר וַיָּרִיעוּ כָּל־בְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים7 When the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful melody?
8 וַיָּסֶךְ בִּדְלָתַיִם יָם בְּגִיחֹו מֵרֶחֶם יֵצֵא8 Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb :
9 בְּשׂוּמִי עָנָן לְבֻשֹׁו וַעֲרָפֶל חֲתֻלָּתֹו9 when I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands?
10 וָאֶשְׁבֹּר עָלָיו חֻקִּי וָאָשִׂים בְּרִיחַ וּדְלָתָיִם10 I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors :
11 וָאֹמַר עַד־פֹּה תָבֹוא וְלֹא תֹסִיף וּפֹא־יָשִׁית בִּגְאֹון גַּלֶּיךָ11 And I said : Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.
12 הְמִיָּמֶיךָ צִוִּיתָ בֹּקֶר [יִדַּעְתָּה כ] [שַׁחַר כ] (יִדַּעְתָּ ק) (הַשַּׁחַר ק) מְקֹמֹו12 Didst thou since thy birth command the morning, and shew the dawning of the day its place?
13 לֶאֱחֹז בְּכַנְפֹות הָאָרֶץ וְיִנָּעֲרוּ רְשָׁעִים מִמֶּנָּה13 And didst thou hold the extremities of the earth shaking them, and hast thou shaken the ungodly out of it?
14 תִּתְהַפֵּךְ כְּחֹמֶר חֹותָם וְיִתְיַצְּבוּ כְּמֹו לְבוּשׁ14 The seal shall be restored as clay, and shall stand as a garment :
15 וְיִמָּנַע מֵרְשָׁעִים אֹורָם וּזְרֹועַ רָמָה תִּשָּׁבֵר15 From the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the high arm shall be broken.
16 הֲבָאתָ עַד־נִבְכֵי־יָם וּבְחֵקֶר תְּהֹום הִתְהַלָּכְתָּ16 Hast thou entered into the depths of the sea, and walked in the lowest parts of the deep?
17 הֲנִגְלוּ לְךָ שַׁעֲרֵי־מָוֶת וְשַׁעֲרֵי צַלְמָוֶת תִּרְאֶה17 Have the gates of death been opened to thee, and hast thou seen the darksome doors?
18 הִתְבֹּנַנְתָּ עַד־רַחֲבֵי־אָרֶץ הַגֵּד אִם־יָדַעְתָּ כֻלָּהּ18 Hast thou considered the breadth of the earth? tell me, if thou knowest all things?
19 אֵי־זֶה הַדֶּרֶךְ יִשְׁכָּן־אֹור וְחֹשֶׁךְ אֵי־זֶה מְקֹמֹו19 Where is the way where light dwelleth, and where is the place of darkness :
20 כִּי תִקָּחֶנּוּ אֶל־גְּבוּלֹו וְכִי־תָבִין נְתִיבֹות בֵּיתֹו20 That thou mayst bring every thing to its own bounds, and understand the paths of the house thereof.
21 יָדַעְתָּ כִּי־אָז תִּוָּלֵד וּמִסְפַּר יָמֶיךָ רַבִּים21 Didst thou know then that thou shouldst be born ? and didst thou know the number of thy days?
22 הֲבָאתָ אֶל־אֹצְרֹות שָׁלֶג וְאֹצְרֹות בָּרָד תִּרְאֶה22 Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, or has thou beheld the treasures of the hail :
23 אֲשֶׁר־חָשַׂכְתִּי לְעֶת־צָר לְיֹום קְרָב וּמִלְחָמָה23 Which I have prepared for the time of the enemy, against the day of battle and war?
24 אֵי־זֶה הַדֶּרֶךְ יֵחָלֶק אֹור יָפֵץ קָדִים עֲלֵי־אָרֶץ24 By what way is the light spread, and heat divided upon the earth?
25 מִי־פִלַּג לַשֶּׁטֶף תְּעָלָה וְדֶרֶךְ לַחֲזִיז קֹלֹות25 Who gave a course to violent showers, or a way for noisy thunder :
26 לְהַמְטִיר עַל־אֶרֶץ לֹא־אִישׁ מִדְבָּר לֹא־אָדָם בֹּו26 That it should rain on the earth without man in the wilderness, where no mortal dwelleth :
27 לְהַשְׂבִּיעַ שֹׁאָה וּמְשֹׁאָה וּלְהַצְמִיחַ מֹצָא דֶשֶׁא27 That it should fill the desert and desolate land, and should bring forth green grass?
28 הֲיֵשׁ־לַמָּטָר אָב אֹו מִי־הֹולִיד אֶגְלֵי־טָל28 Who is the father of rain ? or who begot the drops of dew?
29 מִבֶּטֶן מִי יָצָא הַקָּרַח וּכְפֹר מַיִם מִי יְלָדֹו29 Out of whose womb came the ice; and the frost from heaven who hath gendered it?
30 כָּאֶבֶן מַיִם יִתְחַבָּאוּ וּפְנֵי תְהֹום יִתְלַכָּדוּ30 The waters are hardened like a stone, and the surface of the deep is congealed.
31 הַתְקַשֵּׁר מַעֲדַנֹּות כִּימָה אֹו־מֹשְׁכֹות כְּסִיל תְּפַתֵּחַ31 Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?
32 הֲתֹצִיא מַזָּרֹות בְּעִתֹּו וְעַיִשׁ עַל־בָּנֶיהָ תַנְחֵם32 Canst thou bring forth the day star in its time, and make the evening star to rise upon the children of the earth?
33 הֲיָדַעְתָּ חֻקֹּות שָׁמָיִם אִם־תָּשִׂים מִשְׁטָרֹו בָאָרֶץ33 Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou set down the reason thereof on the earth?
34 הֲתָרִים לָעָב קֹולֶךָ וְשִׁפְעַת־מַיִם תְּכַסֶּךָּ34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that an abundance of waters may cover thee?
35 הַתְשַׁלַּח בְּרָקִים וְיֵלֵכוּ וְיֹאמְרוּ לְךָ הִנֵּנוּ35 Canst thou send lightnings, and will they go, and will they return and say to thee : Here we are?
36 מִישָׁ־ת בַּטֻּחֹות חָכְמָה אֹו מִי־נָתַן לַשֶּׂכְוִי בִינָה36 Who hath put wisdom in the heart of man? or who gave the cock understanding?
37 מִי־יְסַפֵּר שְׁחָקִים בְּחָכְמָה וְנִבְלֵי מַיִם מִי יַשְׁכִּיב37 Who can declare the order of the heavens, or who can make the harmony of heaven to sleep?
38 בְּצֶקֶת עָפָר לַמּוּצָק וּרְגָבִים יְדֻבָּקוּ38 When was the dust poured on the earth, and the clods fastened together?
39 הֲתָצוּד לְלָבִיא טָרֶף וְחַיַּת כְּפִירִים תְּמַלֵּא39 Wilt thou take the prey for the lioness, and satisfy the appetite of her whelps,
40 כִּי־יָשֹׁחוּ בַמְּעֹונֹות יֵשְׁבוּ בַסֻּכָּה לְמֹו־אָרֶב40 When they couch in the dens and lie in wait in holes?
41 מִי יָכִין לָעֹרֵב צֵידֹו כִּי־ [יְלָדֹו כ] (יְלָדָיו ק) אֶל־אֵל יְשַׁוֵּעוּ יִתְעוּ לִבְלִי־אֹכֶל41 Who provideth food for the raven, when her young ones cry to God, wandering about, because they have no meat?
