STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 וְאוּלָם שְׁמַע־נָא אִיֹּוב מִלָּי וְכָל־דְּבָרַי הַאֲזִינָה	1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2 הִנֵּה־נָא פָּתַחְתִּי פִי דִּבְּרָה לְשֹׁונִי בְחִכִּי	2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3 יֹשֶׁר־לִבִּי אֲמָרָי וְדַעַת פָתַי בָּרוּר מִלֵּלוּ	3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4 רוּחַ־אֵל עָשָׂתְנִי וְנִשְׁמַת שַׁדַּי תְּחַיֵּנִי	4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5 אִם־תּוּכַל הֲשִׁיבֵנִי עֶרְכָה לְפָנַי הִתְיַצָּבָה	5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6 הֵן־אֲנִי כְפִיךָ לָאֵל מֵחֹמֶר קֹרַצְתִּי גַם־אָנִי	6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7 הִנֵּה אֵמָתִי לֹא תְבַעֲתֶךָּ וְאַכְפִּי עָלֶיךָ לֹא־יִכְבָּד	7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8 אַךְ אָמַרְתָּ בְאָזְנָי וְקֹול מִלִּין אֶשְׁמָע	8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9 זַךְ אֲנִי בְּלִי פָשַׁע חַף אָנֹכִי וְלֹא עָוֹן לִי	9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10 הֵן תְּנוּאֹות עָלַי יִמְצָא יַחְשְׁבֵנִי לְאֹויֵב לֹו	10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11 יָשֵׂם בַּסַּד רַגְלָי יִשְׁמֹר כָּל־אָרְחֹתָי	11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12 הֶן־זֹאת לֹא־צָדַקְתָּ אֶעֱנֶךָּ כִּי־יִרְבֶּה אֱלֹוהַ מֵאֱנֹושׁ	12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13 מַדּוּעַ אֵלָיו רִיבֹותָ כִּי כָל־דְּבָרָיו לֹא־יַעֲנֶה	13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14 כִּי־בְאַחַת יְדַבֶּר־אֵל וּבִשְׁתַּיִם לֹא יְשׁוּרֶנָּה	14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 בַּחֲלֹום ׀ חֶזְיֹון לַיְלָה בִּנְפֹל תַּרְדֵּמָה עַל־אֲנָשִׁים בִּתְנוּמֹות עֲלֵי מִשְׁכָּב	15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 אָז יִגְלֶה אֹזֶן אֲנָשִׁים וּבְמֹסָרָם יַחְתֹּם	16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 לְהָסִיר אָדָם מַעֲשֶׂה וְגֵוָה מִגֶּבֶר יְכַסֶּה	17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 יַחְשֹׂךְ נַפְשֹׁו מִנִּי־שָׁחַת וְחַיָּתֹו מֵעֲבֹר בַּשָּׁלַח	18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 וְהוּכַח בְּמַכְאֹוב עַל־מִשְׁכָּבֹו [וְרִיב כ] (וְרֹוב ק) עֲצָמָיו אֵתָן	19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 וְזִהֲמַתּוּ חַיָּתֹו לָחֶם וְנַפְשֹׁו מַאֲכַל תַּאֲוָה	20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21 יִכֶל בְּשָׂרֹו מֵרֹאִי [וּשְׁפִי כ] (וְשֻׁפּוּ ק) עַצְמֹותָיו לֹא רֻאּוּ	21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 וַתִּקְרַב לַשַּׁחַת נַפְשֹׁו וְחַיָּתֹו לַמְמִתִים	22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23 אִם־יֵשׁ עָלָיו ׀ מַלְאָךְ מֵלִיץ אֶחָד מִנִּי־אָלֶף לְהַגִּיד לְאָדָם יָשְׁרֹו	23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
24 וַיְחֻנֶּנּוּ וַיֹּאמֶר פְּדָעֵהוּ מֵרֶדֶת שָׁחַת מָצָאתִי כֹפֶר	24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 רֻטֲפַשׁ בְּשָׂרֹו מִנֹּעַר יָשׁוּב לִימֵי עֲלוּמָיו	25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 יֶעְתַּר אֶל־אֱלֹוהַּ ׀ וַיִּרְצֵהוּ וַיַּרְא פָּנָיו בִּתְרוּעָה וַיָּשֶׁב לֶאֱנֹושׁ צִדְקָתֹו	26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27 יָשֹׁר ׀ עַל־אֲנָשִׁים וַיֹּאמֶר חָטָאתִי וְיָשָׁר הֶעֱוֵיתִי וְלֹא־שָׁוָה לִי	27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28 פָּדָה [נַפְשִׁי כ] (נַפְשֹׁו ק) מֵעֲבֹר בַּשָּׁחַת [וְחַיָּתִי כ] (וְחַיָּתֹו ק) בָּאֹור תִּרְאֶה	28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 הֶן־כָּל־אֵלֶּה יִפְעַל־אֵל פַּעֲמַיִם שָׁלֹושׁ עִם־גָּבֶר	29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30 לְהָשִׁיב נַפְשֹׁו מִנִּי־שָׁחַת לֵאֹור בְּאֹור הַחַיִּים	30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 הַקְשֵׁב אִיֹּוב שְׁמַע־לִי הַחֲרֵשׁ וְאָנֹכִי אֲדַבֵּר	31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
32 אִם־יֵשׁ־מִלִּין הֲשִׁיבֵנִי דַּבֵּר כִּי־חָפַצְתִּי צַדְּקֶךָּ	32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33 אִם־אַיִן אַתָּה שְׁמַע־לִי הַחֲרֵשׁ וַאֲאַלֶּפְךָ חָכְמָה׃ ס	33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
