1
Then Job answered:
1
וַיַּ֥עַן
אִיּ֗וֹב
וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2
Today also my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
2
גַּם־
הַ֭יּוֹם
מְרִ֣י
שִׂחִ֑י
יָ֝דִ֗י
כָּבְדָ֥ה
עַל־
אַנְחָתִֽי׃
3
If only I knew how to find him, so that I could go to his throne.
3
מִֽי־
יִתֵּ֣ן
יָ֭דַעְתִּי
וְאֶמְצָאֵ֑הוּ
אָ֝ב֗וֹא
עַד־
תְּכוּנָתֽוֹ׃
4
I would plead my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
4
אֶעֶרְכָ֣ה
לְפָנָ֣יו
מִשְׁפָּ֑ט
וּ֝פִ֗י
אֲמַלֵּ֥א
תוֹכָחֽוֹת׃
5
I would learn how he would answer me; and understand what he would say to me.
5
אֵ֭דְעָה
מִלִּ֣ים
יַעֲנֵ֑נִי
וְ֝אָבִ֗ינָה
מַה־
יֹּ֥אמַר
לִֽי׃
6
Would he prosecute me forcefully? No, he would certainly pay attention to me.
6
הַבְּרָב־
כֹּ֭חַ
יָרִ֣יב
עִמָּדִ֑י
לֹ֥א
אַךְ־
ה֝֗וּא
יָשִׂ֥ם
בִּֽי׃
7
Then an upright man could reason with him, and I would escape from my Judge forever.
7
שָׁ֗ם
יָ֭שָׁר
נוֹכָ֣ח
עִמּ֑וֹ
וַאֲפַלְּטָ֥ה
לָ֝נֶ֗צַח
מִשֹּׁפְטִֽי׃
8
If I go east, he is not there, and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.
8
הֵ֤ן
קֶ֣דֶם
אֶהֱלֹ֣ךְ
וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ
וְ֝אָח֗וֹר
וְֽלֹא־
אָבִ֥ין
לֽוֹ׃
9
When he is at work to the north, I cannot see him; when he turns south, I cannot find him.
9
שְׂמֹ֣אול
בַּעֲשֹׂת֣וֹ
וְלֹא־
אָ֑חַז
יַעְטֹ֥ף
יָ֝מִ֗ין
וְלֹ֣א
אֶרְאֶֽה׃
10
Yet he knows the way I have taken; when he has tested me, I will emerge as pure gold.
10
כִּֽי־
יָ֭דַע
דֶּ֣רֶךְ
עִמָּדִ֑י
בְּ֝חָנַ֗נִי
כַּזָּהָ֥ב
אֵצֵֽא׃
11
My feet have followed in his tracks; I have kept to his way and not turned aside.
11
בַּ֭אֲשֻׁרוֹ
אָחֲזָ֣ה
רַגְלִ֑י
דַּרְכּ֖וֹ
שָׁמַ֣רְתִּי
וְלֹא־
אָֽט׃
12
I have not departed from the commands from his lips; I have treasured the words from his mouth more than my daily food.
12
מִצְוַ֣ת
שְׂ֭פָתָיו
וְלֹ֣א
אָמִ֑ישׁ
מֵ֝חֻקִּ֗י
צָפַ֥נְתִּי
אִמְרֵי־
פִֽיו׃
13
But he is unchangeable; who can oppose him? He does what he desires.
13
וְה֣וּא
בְ֭אֶחָד
וּמִ֣י
יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ
וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹ
אִוְּתָ֣ה
וַיָּֽעַשׂ׃
14
He will certainly accomplish what he has decreed for me, and he has many more things like these in mind.
14
כִּ֭י
יַשְׁלִ֣ים
חֻקִּ֑י
וְכָהֵ֖נָּה
רַבּ֣וֹת
עִמּֽוֹ׃
15
Therefore I am terrified in his presence; when I consider this, I am afraid of him.
15
עַל־
כֵּ֭ן
מִפָּנָ֣יו
אֶבָּהֵ֑ל
אֶ֝תְבּוֹנֵ֗ן
וְאֶפְחַ֥ד
מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
16
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
16
וְ֭אֵל
הֵרַ֣ךְ
לִבִּ֑י
וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י
הִבְהִילָֽנִי׃
17
Yet I am not destroyed by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
17
כִּֽי־
לֹ֣א
נִ֭צְמַתִּי
מִפְּנֵי־
חֹ֑שֶׁךְ
וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י
כִּסָּה־
אֹֽפֶל׃
