1
Then Job answered and said:
1
וַיַּ֥עַן
אִיּ֗וֹב
וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2
“Even today my complaint is bitter; My hand is listless because of my groaning.
2
גַּם־
הַ֭יּוֹם
מְרִ֣י
שִׂחִ֑י
יָ֝דִ֗י
כָּבְדָ֥ה
עַל־
אַנְחָתִֽי׃
3
Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,
That
I might come to His seat!
3
מִֽי־
יִתֵּ֣ן
יָ֭דַעְתִּי
וְאֶמְצָאֵ֑הוּ
אָ֝ב֗וֹא
עַד־
תְּכוּנָתֽוֹ׃
4
I would present
my
case before Him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
4
אֶעֶרְכָ֣ה
לְפָנָ֣יו
מִשְׁפָּ֑ט
וּ֝פִ֗י
אֲמַלֵּ֥א
תוֹכָחֽוֹת׃
5
I would know the words
which
He would answer me, And understand what He would say to me.
5
אֵ֭דְעָה
מִלִּ֣ים
יַעֲנֵ֑נִי
וְ֝אָבִ֗ינָה
מַה־
יֹּ֥אמַר
לִֽי׃
6
Would He contend with me in His great power? No! But He would take
note
of me.
6
הַבְּרָב־
כֹּ֭חַ
יָרִ֣יב
עִמָּדִ֑י
לֹ֥א
אַךְ־
ה֝֗וּא
יָשִׂ֥ם
בִּֽי׃
7
There the upright could reason with Him, And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
7
שָׁ֗ם
יָ֭שָׁר
נוֹכָ֣ח
עִמּ֑וֹ
וַאֲפַלְּטָ֥ה
לָ֝נֶ֗צַח
מִשֹּׁפְטִֽי׃
8
“Look, I go forward, but He is not
there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
8
הֵ֤ן
קֶ֣דֶם
אֶהֱלֹ֣ךְ
וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ
וְ֝אָח֗וֹר
וְֽלֹא־
אָבִ֥ין
לֽוֹ׃
9
When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold
Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see
Him.
9
שְׂמֹ֣אול
בַּעֲשֹׂת֣וֹ
וְלֹא־
אָ֑חַז
יַעְטֹ֥ף
יָ֝מִ֗ין
וְלֹ֣א
אֶרְאֶֽה׃
10
But He knows the way that I take;
When
He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
10
כִּֽי־
יָ֭דַע
דֶּ֣רֶךְ
עִמָּדִ֑י
בְּ֝חָנַ֗נִי
כַּזָּהָ֥ב
אֵצֵֽא׃
11
My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
11
בַּ֭אֲשֻׁרוֹ
אָחֲזָ֣ה
רַגְלִ֑י
דַּרְכּ֖וֹ
שָׁמַ֣רְתִּי
וְלֹא־
אָֽט׃
12
I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary
food.
12
מִצְוַ֣ת
שְׂ֭פָתָיו
וְלֹ֣א
אָמִ֑ישׁ
מֵ֝חֻקִּ֗י
צָפַ֥נְתִּי
אִמְרֵי־
פִֽיו׃
13
“But He
is
unique, and who can make Him change? And
whatever
His soul desires,
that
He does.
13
וְה֣וּא
בְ֭אֶחָד
וּמִ֣י
יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ
וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹ
אִוְּתָ֣ה
וַיָּֽעַשׂ׃
14
For He performs
what is
appointed for me, And many such
things are
with Him.
14
כִּ֭י
יַשְׁלִ֣ים
חֻקִּ֑י
וְכָהֵ֖נָּה
רַבּ֣וֹת
עִמּֽוֹ׃
15
Therefore I am terrified at His presence; When I consider
this,
I am afraid of Him.
15
עַל־
כֵּ֭ן
מִפָּנָ֣יו
אֶבָּהֵ֑ל
אֶ֝תְבּוֹנֵ֗ן
וְאֶפְחַ֥ד
מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
16
For God made my heart weak, And the Almighty terrifies me;
16
וְ֭אֵל
הֵרַ֣ךְ
לִבִּ֑י
וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י
הִבְהִילָֽנִי׃
17
Because I was not cut off from the presence of darkness, And He did
not
hide deep darkness from my face.
17
כִּֽי־
לֹ֣א
נִ֭צְמַתִּי
מִפְּנֵי־
חֹ֑שֶׁךְ
וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י
כִּסָּה־
אֹֽפֶל׃
