1 וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר	1 Then Job answered , and said:
2 עַד־אָנָה תֹּוגְיוּן נַפְשִׁי וּתְדַכְּאוּנַנִי בְמִלִּים	2 How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 זֶה עֶשֶׂר פְּעָמִים תַּכְלִימוּנִי לֹא־תֵבֹשׁוּ תַּהְכְּרוּ־לִי	3 Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
4 וְאַף־אָמְנָם שָׁגִיתִי אִתִּי תָּלִין מְשׁוּגָתִי	4 For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
5 אִם־אָמְנָם עָלַי תַּגְדִּילוּ וְתֹוכִיחוּ עָלַי חֶרְפָּתִּי	5 But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
6 דְּעוּ־אֵפֹו כִּי־אֱלֹוהַּ עִוְּתָנִי וּמְצוּדֹו עָלַי הִקִּיף	6 At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
7 הֵן אֶצְעַק חָמָס וְלֹא אֵעָנֶה אֲשַׁוַּע וְאֵין מִשְׁפָּט	7 Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
8 אָרְחִי גָדַר וְלֹא אֶעֱבֹור וְעַל נְתִיבֹותַי חֹשֶׁךְ יָשִׂים	8 He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
9 כְּבֹודִי מֵעָלַי הִפְשִׁיט וַיָּסַר עֲטֶרֶת רֹאשִׁי	9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.
10 יִתְּצֵנִי סָבִיב וָאֵלַךְ וַיַּסַּע כָּעֵץ תִּקְוָתִי	10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
11 וַיַּחַר עָלַי אַפֹּו וַיַּחְשְׁבֵנִי לֹו כְצָרָיו	11 His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
12 יַחַד ׀ יָבֹאוּ גְדוּדָיו וַיָּסֹלּוּ עָלַי דַּרְכָּם וַיַּחֲנוּ סָבִיב לְאָהֳלִי	12 His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
13 אַחַי מֵעָלַי הִרְחִיק וְיֹדְעַי אַךְ־זָרוּ מִמֶּנִּי	13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
14 חָדְלוּ קְרֹובָי וּמְיֻדָּעַי שְׁכֵחוּנִי	14 My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
15 גָּרֵי בֵיתִי וְאַמְהֹתַי לְזָר תַּחְשְׁבֻנִי נָכְרִי הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֵיהֶם	15 They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
16 לְעַבְדִּי קָרָאתִי וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה בְּמֹו־פִי אֶתְחַנֶּן־לֹו	16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
17 רוּחִי זָרָה לְאִשְׁתִּי וְחַנֹּתִי לִבְנֵי בִטְנִי	17 My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
18 גַּם־עֲוִילִים מָאֲסוּ בִי אָקוּמָה וַיְדַבְּרוּ־בִי	18 Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
19 תִּעֲבוּנִי כָּל־מְתֵי סֹודִי וְזֶה־אָהַבְתִּי נֶהְפְּכוּ־בִי	19 They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me.
20 בְּעֹורִי וּבִבְשָׂרִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי וָאֶתְמַלְּטָה בְּעֹור שִׁנָּי	20 The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
21 חָנֻּנִי חָנֻּנִי אַתֶּם רֵעָי כִּי יַד־אֱלֹוהַּ נָגְעָה בִּי	21 Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
22 לָמָּה תִּרְדְּפֻנִי כְמֹו־אֵל וּמִבְּשָׂרִי לֹא תִשְׂבָּעוּ	22 Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?
23 מִי־יִתֵּן אֵפֹו וְיִכָּתְבוּן מִלָּי מִי־יִתֵּן בַּסֵּפֶר וְיֻחָקוּ	23 Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
24 בְּעֵט־בַּרְזֶל וְעֹפָרֶת לָעַד בַּצּוּר יֵחָצְבוּן	24 With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
25 וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי גֹּאֲלִי חָי וְאַחֲרֹון עַל־עָפָר יָקוּם	25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
26 וְאַחַר עֹורִי נִקְּפוּ־זֹאת וּמִבְּשָׂרִי אֶחֱזֶה אֱלֹוהַּ	26 And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
27 אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי ׀ אֶחֱזֶה־לִּי וְעֵינַי רָאוּ וְלֹא־זָר כָּלוּ כִלְיֹתַי בְּחֵקִי	27 Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
28 כִּי תֹאמְרוּ מַה־נִּרְדָּף־לֹו וְשֹׁרֶשׁ דָּבָר נִמְצָא־בִי	28 Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him?
29 גּוּרוּ לָכֶם ׀ מִפְּנֵי־חֶרֶב כִּי־חֵמָה עֲוֹנֹות חָרֶב לְמַעַן תֵּדְעוּן [שַׁדִּין כ] (שַׁדּוּן׃ ק) ס	29 Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment.
