1 אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקֹומֹו	1 At this, my heart became frightened, and it has been moved from its place.
2 שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמֹועַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלֹו וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵא	2 Pay close attention to the alarm of his voice and to the sound that proceeds from his mouth.
3 תַּחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאֹורֹו עַל־כַּנְפֹות הָאָרֶץ	3 He beholds everything under the heavens, and his light reaches beyond the ends of the earth.
4 אַחֲרָיו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קֹול יַרְעֵם בְּקֹול גְּאֹונֹו וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּי־יִשָּׁמַע קֹולֹו	4 After this, a noise will sound; he will thunder with the voice of his greatness, and it will not be tracked down, yet his voice will be obeyed.
5 יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקֹולֹו נִפְלָאֹות עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלֹות וְלֹא נֵדָע	5 God will thunder with his voice miraculously, for he performs great and unsearchable things.
6 כִּי לַשֶּׁלַג ׀ יֹאמַר הֱוֵא אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרֹות עֻזֹּו	6 He commands the snow to descend on earth, and the winter rains, and the shower of his strength.
7 בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָם יַחְתֹּום לָדַעַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵׂהוּ	7 He signs the hand of all men, so that each one may know his works.
8 וַתָּבֹא חַיָּה בְמֹו־אָרֶב וּבִמְעֹונֹתֶיהָ תִשְׁכֹּן	8 The beast will enter his hiding-place, and he will remain in his cave.
9 מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבֹוא סוּפָה וּמִמְּזָרִים קָרָה	9 From the interior, a storm will come forth, and a cold winter from the north.
10 מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָק	10 As God breathes out, frost forms, and the waters are poured forth very widely again.
11 אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אֹורֹו	11 Crops desire clouds, and the clouds scatter their light.
12 וְהוּא מְסִבֹּות ׀ מִתְהַפֵּךְ [בְּתַחְבּוּלָתֹו כ] (בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָיו ק) לְפָעֳלָם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָרְצָה	12 It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead, to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the earth,
13 אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצֹו אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵהוּ	13 whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.
14 הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיֹּוב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבֹּונֵן ׀ נִפְלְאֹות אֵל	14 Listen to these things, Job. Stand up and consider the wonders of God.
15 הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלֹוהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהֹופִיעַ אֹור עֲנָנֹו	15 Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?
16 הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאֹות תְּמִים דֵּעִים	16 Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences?
17 אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֹום	17 Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land?
18 תַּרְקִיעַ עִמֹּו לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָק	18 Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.
19 הֹודִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לֹו לֹא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹשֶׁךְ	19 Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness.
20 הַיְסֻפַּר־לֹו כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּע	20 Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured.
21 וְעַתָּה ׀ לֹא רָאוּ אֹור בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַתְּטַהֲרֵם	21 Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.
22 מִצָּפֹון זָהָב יֶאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלֹוהַּ נֹורָא הֹוד	22 Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God.
23 שַׁדַּי לֹא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּה	23 We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable.
24 לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹא־יִרְאֶה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵב׃ פ	24 Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.
