1 וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר1 When Job answered, and said:
2 אָמְנָם כִּי אַתֶּם־עָם וְעִמָּכֶם תָּמוּת חָכְמָה2 Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?
3 גַּם־לִי לֵבָב ׀ כְּמֹוכֶם לֹא־נֹפֵל אָנֹכִי מִכֶּם וְאֶת־מִי־אֵין כְּמֹו־אֵלֶּה3 I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?
4 שְׂחֹק לְרֵעֵהוּ ׀ אֶהְיֶה קֹרֵא לֶאֱלֹוהַּ וַיַּעֲנֵהוּ חֹוק צַדִּיק תָּמִים4 He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.
5 לַפִּיד בּוּז לְעַשְׁתּוּת שַׁאֲנָן נָכֹון לְמֹועֲדֵי רָגֶל5 The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.
6 יִשְׁלָיוּ אֹהָלִים ׀ לְשֹׁדְדִים וּבַטֻּחֹות לְמַרְגִּיזֵי אֵל לַאֲשֶׁר הֵבִיא אֱלֹוהַּ בְּיָדֹו6 The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:
7 וְאוּלָם שְׁאַל־נָא בְהֵמֹות וְתֹרֶךָּ וְעֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְיַגֶּד־לָךְ7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.
8 אֹו שִׂיחַ לָאָרֶץ וְתֹרֶךָּ וִיסַפְּרוּ לְךָ דְּגֵי הַיָּם8 Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.
9 מִי לֹא־יָדַע בְּכָל־אֵלֶּה כִּי יַד־יְהוָה עָשְׂתָה זֹּאת9 Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?
10 אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדֹו נֶפֶשׁ כָּל־חָי וְרוּחַ כָּל־בְּשַׂר־אִישׁ10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
11 הֲלֹא־אֹזֶן מִלִּין תִּבְחָן וְחֵךְ אֹכֶל יִטְעַם־לֹו11 Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?
12 בִּישִׁישִׁים חָכְמָה וְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים תְּבוּנָה12 In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.
13 עִמֹּו חָכְמָה וּגְבוּרָה לֹו עֵצָה וּתְבוּנָה13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
14 הֵן יַהֲרֹוס וְלֹא יִבָּנֶה יִסְגֹּר עַל־אִישׁ וְלֹא יִפָּתֵחַ14 If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open.
15 הֵן יַעְצֹר בַּמַּיִם וְיִבָשׁוּ וִישַׁלְּחֵם וְיַהַפְכוּ אָרֶץ15 If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.
16 עִמֹּו עֹז וְתוּשִׁיָּה לֹו שֹׁגֵג וּמַשְׁגֶּה16 With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver, and him that is deceived.
17 מֹולִיךְ יֹועֲצִים שֹׁולָל וְשֹׁפְטִים יְהֹולֵל17 He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.
18 מוּסַר מְלָכִים פִּתֵּחַ וַיֶּאְסֹר אֵזֹור בְּמָתְנֵיהֶם18 He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord.
19 מֹולִיךְ כֹּהֲנִים שֹׁולָל וְאֵתָנִים יְסַלֵּף19 He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles.
20 מֵסִיר פָה לְנֶאֱמָנִים וְטַעַם זְקֵנִים יִקָּח20 He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.
21 שֹׁופֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וּמְזִיחַ אֲפִיקִים רִפָּה21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed.
22 מְגַלֶּה עֲמֻקֹות מִנִּי־חֹשֶׁךְ וַיֹּצֵא לָאֹור צַלְמָוֶת22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth up to light the shadow of death.
23 מַשְׂגִּיא לַגֹּויִם וַיְאַבְּדֵם שֹׁטֵחַ לַגֹּויִם וַיַּנְחֵם23 He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown.
24 מֵסִיר לֵב רָאשֵׁי עַם־הָאָרֶץ וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָרֶךְ24 He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way.
25 יְמַשְׁשׁוּ־חֹשֶׁךְ וְלֹא־אֹור וַיַּתְעֵם כַּשִּׁכֹּור25 They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk.
