1And Job took up his discourse again: 1וַיֹּ֣סֶף אִ֭יּוֹב שְׂאֵ֥ת מְשָׁל֗וֹ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2"As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter--2חַי־ אֵ֭ל הֵסִ֣יר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י הֵמַ֥ר נַפְשִֽׁי׃
3for while my spirit is still in me, and the breath from God is in my nostrils, 3כִּֽי־ כָל־ ע֣וֹד נִשְׁמָתִ֣י בִ֑י וְר֖וּחַ אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּאַפִּֽי׃
4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will whisper no deceit. 4אִם־ תְּדַבֵּ֣רְנָה שְׂפָתַ֣י עַוְלָ֑ה וּ֝לְשׁוֹנִ֗י אִם־ יֶהְגֶּ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃
5I will never declare that you three are in the right; until I die, I will not set aside my integrity! 5חָלִ֣ילָה לִּי֮ אִם־ אַצְדִּ֪יק אֶ֫תְכֶ֥ם עַד־ אֶגְוָ֑ע לֹא־ אָסִ֖יר תֻּמָּתִ֣י מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
6I will maintain my righteousness and never let it go; my conscience will not reproach me for as long as I live. 6בְּצִדְקָתִ֣י הֶ֭חֱזַקְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֑הָ לֹֽא־ יֶחֱרַ֥ף לְ֝בָבִ֗י מִיָּמָֽי׃
7"May my enemy be like the wicked, my adversary like the unrighteous. 7יְהִ֣י כְ֭רָשָׁע אֹ֣יְבִ֑י וּמִתְקוֹמְמִ֥י כְעַוָּֽל׃
8For what hope does the godless have when he is cut off, when God takes away his life? 8כִּ֤י מַה־ תִּקְוַ֣ת חָ֭נֵף כִּ֣י יִבְצָ֑ע כִּ֤י יֵ֖שֶׁל אֱל֣וֹהַּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
9Does God listen to his cry when distress overtakes him? 9הַֽ֭צַעֲקָתוֹ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל כִּֽי־ תָב֖וֹא עָלָ֣יו צָרָֽה׃
10Will he find delight in the Almighty? Will he call out to God at all times? 10אִם־ עַל־ שַׁדַּ֥י יִתְעַנָּ֑ג יִקְרָ֖א אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּכָל־ עֵֽת׃
11I will teach you about the power of God; What is on the Almighty's mind I will not conceal. 11אוֹרֶ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֣ם בְּיַד־ אֵ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר עִם־ שַׁ֝דַּ֗י לֹ֣א אֲכַחֵֽד׃
12If you yourselves have all seen this, Why in the world do you continue this meaningless talk? 12הֵן־ אַתֶּ֣ם כֻּלְּכֶ֣ם חֲזִיתֶ֑ם וְלָמָּה־ זֶּ֝֗ה הֶ֣בֶל תֶּהְבָּֽלוּ׃
13This is the portion of the wicked man allotted by God, the inheritance that evildoers receive from the Almighty. 13זֶ֤ה ׀ חֵֽלֶק־ אָדָ֖ם רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ עִם־ אֵ֑ל וְֽנַחֲלַ֥ת עָ֝רִיצִ֗ים מִשַּׁדַּ֥י יִקָּֽחוּ׃
14If his children increase--it is for the sword! His offspring never have enough to eat. 14אִם־ יִרְבּ֣וּ בָנָ֣יו לְמוֹ־ חָ֑רֶב וְ֝צֶאֱצָאָ֗יו לֹ֣א יִשְׂבְּעוּ־ לָֽחֶם׃
15Those who survive him are buried by the plague, and their widows do not mourn for them. 15[שרידו] (שְׂ֭רִידָיו) בַּמָּ֣וֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ וְ֝אַלְמְנֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִבְכֶּֽינָה׃
16If he piles up silver like dust and stores up clothing like mounds of clay, 16אִם־ יִצְבֹּ֣ר כֶּעָפָ֣ר כָּ֑סֶף וְ֝כַחֹ֗מֶר יָכִ֥ין מַלְבּֽוּשׁ׃
17what he stores up a righteous man will wear, and an innocent man will inherit his silver. 17יָ֭כִין וְצַדִּ֣יק יִלְבָּ֑שׁ וְ֝כֶ֗סֶף נָקִ֥י יַחֲלֹֽק׃
18The house he builds is as fragile as a moth's cocoon, like a hut that a watchman has made. 18בָּנָ֣ה כָעָ֣שׁ בֵּית֑וֹ וּ֝כְסֻכָּ֗ה עָשָׂ֥ה נֹצֵֽר׃
19He goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more. When he opens his eyes, it is all gone. 19עָשִׁ֣יר יִ֭שְׁכַּב וְלֹ֣א יֵאָסֵ֑ף עֵינָ֖יו פָּקַ֣ח וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃
20Terrors overwhelm him like a flood; at night a whirlwind carries him off. 20תַּשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ כַ֭מַּיִם בַּלָּה֑וֹת לַ֝֗יְלָה גְּנָבַ֥תּוּ סוּפָֽה׃
21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place. 21יִשָּׂאֵ֣הוּ קָדִ֣ים וְיֵלַ֑ךְ וִֽ֝ישָׂעֲרֵ֗הוּ מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃
22It hurls itself against him without pity as he flees headlong from its power. 22וְיַשְׁלֵ֣ךְ עָ֭לָיו וְלֹ֣א יַחְמֹ֑ל מִ֝יָּד֗וֹ בָּר֥וֹחַ יִבְרָֽח׃
23It claps its hands at him in derision and hisses him away from his place. 23יִשְׂפֹּ֣ק עָלֵ֣ימוֹ כַפֵּ֑ימוֹ וְיִשְׁרֹ֥ק עָ֝לָ֗יו מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃
