1
Job further continued his discourse, and said:
1
וַיֹּ֣סֶף
אִ֭יּוֹב
שְׂאֵ֥ת
מְשָׁל֗וֹ
וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2
“Oh, that I were as
in
months past, As
in
the days
when
God watched over me;
2
מִֽי־
יִתְּנֵ֥נִי
כְיַרְחֵי־
קֶ֑דֶם
כִּ֝ימֵ֗י
אֱל֣וֹהַּ
יִשְׁמְרֵֽנִי׃
3
When His lamp shone upon my head,
And when
by His light I walked
through
darkness;
3
בְּהִלּ֣וֹ
נֵ֭רוֹ
עֲלֵ֣י
רֹאשִׁ֑י
לְ֝אוֹרוֹ
אֵ֣לֶךְ
חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
4
Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God
was
over my tent;
4
כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר
הָ֭יִיתִי
בִּימֵ֣י
חָרְפִּ֑י
בְּס֥וֹד
אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַּ
עֲלֵ֣י
אָהֳלִֽי׃
5
When the Almighty
was
yet with me,
When
my children
were
around me;
5
בְּע֣וֹד
שַׁ֭דַּי
עִמָּדִ֑י
סְבִ֖יבוֹתַ֣י
נְעָרָֽי׃
6
When my steps were bathed with cream, And the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!
6
בִּרְחֹ֣ץ
הֲלִיכַ֣י
בְּחֵמָ֑ה
וְצ֥וּר
יָצ֥וּק
עִ֝מָּדִ֗י
פַּלְגֵי־
שָֽׁמֶן׃
7
“When I went out to the gate by the city,
When
I took my seat in the open square,
7
בְּצֵ֣אתִי
שַׁ֣עַר
עֲלֵי־
קָ֑רֶת
בָּ֝רְח֗וֹב
אָכִ֥ין
מוֹשָׁבִֽי׃
8
The young men saw me and hid, And the aged arose
and
stood;
8
רָא֣וּנִי
נְעָרִ֣ים
וְנֶחְבָּ֑אוּ
וִֽ֝ישִׁישִׁים
קָ֣מוּ
עָמָֽדוּ׃
9
The princes refrained from talking, And put
their
hand on their mouth;
9
שָׂ֭רִים
עָצְר֣וּ
בְמִלִּ֑ים
וְ֝כַ֗ף
יָשִׂ֥ימוּ
לְפִיהֶֽם׃
10
The voice of nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
10
קוֹל־
נְגִידִ֥ים
נֶחְבָּ֑אוּ
וּ֝לְשׁוֹנָ֗ם
לְחִכָּ֥ם
דָּבֵֽקָה׃
11
When the ear heard, then it blessed me, And when the eye saw, then it approved me;
11
כִּ֤י
אֹ֣זֶן
שָׁ֭מְעָה
וַֽתְּאַשְּׁרֵ֑נִי
וְעַ֥יִן
רָ֝אֲתָ֗ה
וַתְּעִידֵֽנִי׃
12
Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and
the one who
had no helper.
12
כִּֽי־
אֲ֭מַלֵּט
עָנִ֣י
מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ
וְ֝יָת֗וֹם
וְֽלֹא־
עֹזֵ֥ר
לֽוֹ׃
13
The blessing of a perishing
man
came upon me, And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
13
בִּרְכַּ֣ת
אֹ֭בֵד
עָלַ֣י
תָּבֹ֑א
וְלֵ֖ב
אַלְמָנָ֣ה
אַרְנִֽן׃
14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice
was
like a robe and a turban.
14
צֶ֣דֶק
לָ֭בַשְׁתִּי
וַיִּלְבָּשֵׁ֑נִי
כִּֽמְעִ֥יל
וְ֝צָנִ֗יף
מִשְׁפָּטִֽי׃
15
I
was
eyes to the blind, And I
was
feet to the lame.
15
עֵינַ֣יִם
הָ֭יִיתִי
לַֽעִוֵּ֑ר
וְרַגְלַ֖יִם
לַפִּסֵּ֣חַ
אָֽנִי׃
16
I
was
a father to the poor, And I searched out the case
that
I did not know.
16
אָ֣ב
אָ֭נֹכִֽי
לָֽאֶבְיוֹנִ֑ים
וְרִ֖ב
לֹא־
יָדַ֣עְתִּי
אֶחְקְרֵֽהוּ׃
17
I broke the fangs of the wicked, And plucked the victim from his teeth.
17
וָֽ֭אֲשַׁבְּרָה
מְתַלְּע֣וֹת
עַוָּ֑ל
וּ֝מִשִּׁנָּ֗יו
אַשְׁלִ֥יךְ
טָֽרֶף׃
18
“Then I said, ‘I shall die in my nest, And multiply
my
days as the sand.
18
וָ֭אֹמַר
עִם־
קִנִּ֣י
אֶגְוָ֑ע
וְ֝כַח֗וֹל
אַרְבֶּ֥ה
יָמִֽים׃
19
My root
is
spread out to the waters, And the dew lies all night on my branch.
19
שָׁרְשִׁ֣י
פָת֣וּחַ
אֱלֵי־
מָ֑יִם
וְ֝טַ֗ל
יָלִ֥ין
בִּקְצִירִֽי׃
20
My glory
is
fresh within me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.’
20
כְּ֭בוֹדִי
חָדָ֣שׁ
עִמָּדִ֑י
וְ֝קַשְׁתִּ֗י
בְּיָדִ֥י
תַחֲלִֽיף׃
21
“
Men
listened to me and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.
21
לִֽי־
שָׁמְע֥וּ
וְיִחֵ֑לּוּ
וְ֝יִדְּמ֗וּ
לְמ֣וֹ
עֲצָתִֽי׃
22
After my words they did not speak again, And my speech settled on them
as dew.
22
אַחֲרֵ֣י
דְ֭בָרִי
לֹ֣א
יִשְׁנ֑וּ
וְ֝עָלֵ֗ימוֹ
תִּטֹּ֥ף
מִלָּתִֽי׃
23
They waited for me
as
for the rain, And they opened their mouth wide
as
for the spring rain.
23
וְיִֽחֲל֣וּ
כַמָּטָ֣ר
לִ֑י
וּ֝פִיהֶ֗ם
פָּעֲר֥וּ
לְמַלְקֽוֹשׁ׃
24
If
I mocked at them, they did not believe
it,
And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
24
אֶשְׂחַ֣ק
אֲ֭לֵהֶם
לֹ֣א
יַאֲמִ֑ינוּ
וְא֥וֹר
פָּ֝נַ֗י
לֹ֣א
יַפִּילֽוּן׃
25
I chose the way for them, and sat as chief; So I dwelt as a king in the army, As one
who
comforts mourners.
25
אֶֽבֲחַ֣ר
דַּרְכָּם֮
וְאֵשֵׁ֪ב
רֹ֥אשׁ
וְ֭אֶשְׁכּוֹן
כְּמֶ֣לֶךְ
בַּגְּד֑וּד
כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר
אֲבֵלִ֣ים
יְנַחֵֽם׃
