1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:1וַ֭יַּעַן צֹפַ֥ר הַֽנַּעֲמָתִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2Should this abundance of words go unanswered and such a talker be acquitted?2הֲרֹ֣ב דְּ֭בָרִים לֹ֣א יֵעָנֶ֑ה וְאִם־ אִ֖ישׁ שְׂפָתַ֣יִם יִצְדָּֽק׃
3Should your babbling put others to silence, so that you can keep on ridiculing with no one to humiliate you?3בַּ֭דֶּיךָ מְתִ֣ים יַחֲרִ֑ישׁו‪‬ וַ֝תִּלְעַ֗ג וְאֵ֣ין מַכְלִֽם׃
4You have said, "My teaching is sound, and I am pure in your sight."4וַ֭תֹּאמֶר זַ֣ךְ לִקְחִ֑י וּ֝בַ֗ר הָיִ֥יתִי בְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃
5But if only God would speak and open his lips against you!5וְֽאוּלָ֗ם מִֽי־ יִתֵּ֣ן אֱל֣וֹהַּ דַּבֵּ֑ר וְיִפְתַּ֖ח שְׂפָתָ֣יו עִמָּֽךְ׃
6He would show you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your iniquity.6וְיַגֶּד־ לְךָ֨ ׀ תַּֽעֲלֻמ֣וֹת חָכְמָה֮ כִּֽי־ כִפְלַ֪יִם לְֽת֫וּשִׁיָּ֥ה וְדַ֡ע כִּֽי־ יַשֶּׁ֥ה לְךָ֥ אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵעֲוֺנֶֽךָ׃
7Can you fathom the depths of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?7הַחֵ֣קֶר אֱל֣וֹהַ תִּמְצָ֑א אִ֤ם עַד־ תַּכְלִ֖ית שַׁדַּ֣י תִּמְצָֽא׃
8They are higher than the heavens--what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol--what can you know?8גָּבְהֵ֣י שָׁ֭מַיִם מַה־ תִּפְעָ֑ל עֲמֻקָּ֥ה מִ֝שְּׁא֗וֹל מַה־ תֵּדָֽע׃
9Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.9אֲרֻכָּ֣ה מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִדָּ֑הּ וּ֝רְחָבָ֗ה מִנִּי־ יָֽם׃
10If he passes by and throws someone in prison or convenes a court, who can stop him?10אִם־ יַחֲלֹ֥ף וְיַסְגִּ֑יר וְ֝יַקְהִ֗יל וּמִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶֽנּוּ׃
11Surely he knows which people are worthless. If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?11כִּי־ ה֭וּא יָדַ֣ע מְתֵי־ שָׁ֑וְא וַיַּרְא־ אָ֝֗וֶן וְלֹ֣א יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃
12But a stupid person will gain understanding as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!12וְאִ֣ישׁ נָ֭בוּב יִלָּבֵ֑ב וְעַ֥יִר פֶּ֝֗רֶא אָדָ֥ם יִוָּלֵֽד׃
13As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer--13אִם־ אַ֭תָּ֗ה‪‬ הֲכִינ֣וֹתָ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ֖ אֵלָ֣יו כַּפֶּֽךָ׃
14if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it, and don't allow injustice to dwell in your tents--14אִם־ אָ֣וֶן בְּ֭יָדְךָ הַרְחִיקֵ֑הוּ וְאַל־ תַּשְׁכֵּ֖ן בְּאֹהָלֶ֣יךָ עַוְלָֽה׃
15then you will hold your head high, free from fault. You will be firmly established and unafraid.15כִּי־ אָ֤ז ׀ תִּשָּׂ֣א פָנֶ֣יךָ מִמּ֑וּם וְהָיִ֥יתָ מֻ֝צָ֗ק וְלֹ֣א תִירָֽא׃
16For you will forget your suffering, recalling it only as water that has flowed by.16כִּי־ אַ֭תָּה עָמָ֣ל תִּשְׁכָּ֑ח כְּמַ֖יִם עָבְר֣וּ תִזְכֹּֽר׃
17Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.17וּֽ֭מִצָּהֳרַיִם יָק֣וּם חָ֑לֶד תָּ֝עֻ֗פָה כַּבֹּ֥קֶר תִּהְיֶֽה׃
18You will be confident, because there is hope. You will look carefully about and lie down in safety.18וּֽ֭בָטַחְתָּ כִּי־ יֵ֣שׁ תִּקְוָ֑ה וְ֝חָפַרְתָּ֗ לָבֶ֥טַח תִּשְׁכָּֽב׃
19You will lie down with no one to frighten you, and many will seek your favor.19וְֽ֭רָבַצְתָּ וְאֵ֣ין מַחֲרִ֑יד וְחִלּ֖וּ פָנֶ֣יךָ רַבִּֽים׃
20But the sight of the wicked will fail. Their way of escape will be cut off, and their only hope is their last breath.20וְעֵינֵ֥י רְשָׁעִ֗ים תִּ֫כְלֶ֥ינָה וּ֭מָנוֹס אָבַ֣ד מִנְהֶ֑ם וְ֝תִקְוָתָ֗ם מַֽפַּח־ נָֽפֶשׁ׃ פ
