Job 26

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