1
Job's response was to say:
1
וַיַּ֥עַן
אִיּ֗וֹב
וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2
"I'm still complaining bitterly today; my hand is heavy because of groaning.
2
גַּם־
הַ֭יּוֹם
מְרִ֣י
שִׂחִ֑י
יָ֝דִ֗י
כָּבְדָ֥ה
עַל־
אַנְחָתִֽי׃
3
If only I knew where to find him, I would visit him where he has taken his seat.
3
מִֽי־
יִתֵּ֣ן
יָ֭דַעְתִּי
וְאֶמְצָאֵ֑הוּ
אָ֝ב֗וֹא
עַד־
תְּכוּנָתֽוֹ׃
4
I would lay out my case before him; and fill my mouth with arguments.
4
אֶעֶרְכָ֣ה
לְפָנָ֣יו
מִשְׁפָּ֑ט
וּ֝פִ֗י
אֲמַלֵּ֥א
תוֹכָחֽוֹת׃
5
I know how he would answer me; I understand what he'll tell me.
5
אֵ֭דְעָה
מִלִּ֣ים
יַעֲנֵ֑נִי
וְ֝אָבִ֗ינָה
מַה־
יֹּ֥אמַר
לִֽי׃
6
"Would he use his great power to fight me? No, he'll pay attention to me.
6
הַבְּרָב־
כֹּ֭חַ
יָרִ֣יב
עִמָּדִ֑י
לֹ֥א
אַךְ־
ה֝֗וּא
יָשִׂ֥ם
בִּֽי׃
7
In that place, the upright can reason with him; and I'll be acquitted once and for all by my judge."
7
שָׁ֗ם
יָ֭שָׁר
נוֹכָ֣ח
עִמּ֑וֹ
וַאֲפַלְּטָ֥ה
לָ֝נֶ֗צַח
מִשֹּׁפְטִֽי׃
8
"Look! If I go east, he isn't there! If I go to the west, I don't perceive him.
8
הֵ֤ן
קֶ֣דֶם
אֶהֱלֹ֣ךְ
וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ
וְ֝אָח֗וֹר
וְֽלֹא־
אָבִ֥ין
לֽוֹ׃
9
If he's working in the north, I can't observe him; If he turns south, I can't see him.
9
שְׂמֹ֣אול
בַּעֲשֹׂת֣וֹ
וְלֹא־
אָ֑חַז
יַעְטֹ֥ף
יָ֝מִ֗ין
וְלֹ֣א
אֶרְאֶֽה׃
10
Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I'll come out like gold.
10
כִּֽי־
יָ֭דַע
דֶּ֣רֶךְ
עִמָּדִ֑י
בְּ֝חָנַ֗נִי
כַּזָּהָ֥ב
אֵצֵֽא׃
11
My feet stay where his footsteps lead; I kept on his pathway and haven't turned aside.
11
בַּ֭אֲשֻׁרוֹ
אָחֲזָ֣ה
רַגְלִ֑י
דַּרְכּ֖וֹ
שָׁמַ֣רְתִּי
וְלֹא־
אָֽט׃
12
I haven't wandered away from the commands that he has spoken; I've treasured what he has said more than my own meals."
12
מִצְוַ֣ת
שְׂ֭פָתָיו
וְלֹ֣א
אָמִ֑ישׁ
מֵ֝חֻקִּ֗י
צָפַ֥נְתִּי
אִמְרֵי־
פִֽיו׃
13
"But he is One—who can change him? He does whatever he wants to do.
13
וְה֣וּא
בְ֭אֶחָד
וּמִ֣י
יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ
וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹ
אִוְּתָ֣ה
וַיָּֽעַשׂ׃
14
He'll complete what he has planned for me; he has many things in mind for me!
14
כִּ֭י
יַשְׁלִ֣ים
חֻקִּ֑י
וְכָהֵ֖נָּה
רַבּ֣וֹת
עִמּֽוֹ׃
15
That's why I'm terrified at his presence! When I think about it, I'm afraid of him.
15
עַל־
כֵּ֭ן
מִפָּנָ֣יו
אֶבָּהֵ֑ל
אֶ֝תְבּוֹנֵ֗ן
וְאֶפְחַ֥ד
מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
16
God has caused me to faint; the Almighty makes me terrified!
16
וְ֭אֵל
הֵרַ֣ךְ
לִבִּ֑י
וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י
הִבְהִילָֽנִי׃
17
Nevertheless, I haven't been silenced because of the darkness, even when thick darkness obscures my vision."
17
כִּֽי־
לֹ֣א
נִ֭צְמַתִּי
מִפְּנֵי־
חֹ֑שֶׁךְ
וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י
כִּסָּה־
אֹֽפֶל׃
