1And the LORD said to Job:1וַיַּ֖עַן יְהוָ֥ה אֶת־ אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2“Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”2הֲ֭רֹב עִם־ שַׁדַּ֣י יִסּ֑וֹר מוֹכִ֖יחַ אֱל֣וֹהַּ יַעֲנֶֽנָּה׃ פ
3Then Job answered the LORD and said:3וַיַּ֖עַן אִיּ֥וֹב אֶת־ יְהוָ֗ה וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
4“Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.4הֵ֣ן קַ֭לֹּתִי מָ֣ה אֲשִׁיבֶ֑ךָּ יָ֝דִ֗י שַׂ֣מְתִּי לְמוֹ־ פִֽי׃
5I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.”5אַחַ֣ת דִּ֭בַּרְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֶֽעֱנֶ֑ה וּ֝שְׁתַּ֗יִם וְלֹ֣א אוֹסִֽיף׃ פ
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:6וַיַּֽעַן־ יְהוָ֣ה אֶת־ אִ֭יּוֹב [מנ‪‬] [סערה] (מִ֥ן ׀) (סְעָרָ֗ה) וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
7“Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.7אֱזָר־ נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר חֲלָצֶ֑יךָ אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃
8Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?8הַ֭אַף תָּפֵ֣ר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י תַּ֝רְשִׁיעֵ֗נִי לְמַ֣עַן תִּצְדָּֽק׃
9Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?9וְאִם־ זְר֖וֹעַ כָּאֵ֥ל ׀ לָ֑ךְ וּ֝בְק֗וֹל כָּמֹ֥הוּ תַרְעֵֽם׃
10“Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor.10עֲדֵ֥ה נָ֣א גָֽא֣וֹן‪‬ וָגֹ֑בַהּ וְה֖וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר תִּלְבָּֽשׁ׃
11Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.11הָ֭פֵץ עֶבְר֣וֹת אַפֶּ֑ךָ וּרְאֵ֥ה כָל־ גֵּ֝אֶ֗ה וְהַשְׁפִּילֵֽהוּ׃
12Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand.12רְאֵ֣ה כָל־ גֵּ֭אֶה הַכְנִיעֵ֑הוּ וַהֲדֹ֖ךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם׃
13Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.13טָמְנֵ֣ם בֶּעָפָ֣ר יָ֑חַד פְּ֝נֵיהֶ֗ם חֲבֹ֣שׁ בַּטָּמֽוּן׃
14Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.14וְגַם־ אֲנִ֥י אוֹדֶ֑ךָּ כִּֽי־ תוֹשִׁ֖עַ לְךָ֣ יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
15“Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.15הִנֵּה־ נָ֣א בְ֭הֵמוֹת אֲשֶׁר־ עָשִׂ֣יתִי עִמָּ֑ךְ חָ֝צִ֗יר כַּבָּקָ֥ר יֹאכֵֽל׃
16Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.16הִנֵּה־ נָ֣א כֹח֣וֹ בְמָתְנָ֑יו וְ֝אֹנ֗וֹ בִּשְׁרִירֵ֥י בִטְנֽוֹ׃
17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.17יַחְפֹּ֣ץ זְנָב֣וֹ כְמוֹ־ אָ֑רֶז גִּידֵ֖י [פחדו] (פַחֲדָ֣יו) יְשֹׂרָֽגוּ׃
18His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.18עֲ֭צָמָיו אֲפִיקֵ֣י נְחוּשָׁ֑ה גְּ֝רָמָ֗יו כִּמְטִ֥יל בַּרְזֶֽל׃
19“He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!19ה֭וּא רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֵי־ אֵ֑ל הָ֝עֹשׂוֹ יַגֵּ֥שׁ חַרְבּֽוֹ׃
20For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.20כִּֽי־ ב֭וּל הָרִ֣ים יִשְׂאוּ־ ל֑וֹ וְֽכָל־ חַיַּ֥ת הַ֝שָּׂדֶ֗ה יְשַֽׂחֲקוּ־ שָֽׁם׃
21Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.21תַּֽחַת־ צֶאֱלִ֥ים יִשְׁכָּ֑ב בְּסֵ֖תֶר קָנֶ֣ה וּבִצָּֽה׃
22For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.22יְסֻכֻּ֣הוּ צֶאֱלִ֣ים צִֽלֲל֑וֹ יְ֝סֻבּ֗וּהוּ עַרְבֵי־ נָֽחַל׃
23Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.23הֵ֤ן יַעֲשֹׁ֣ק נָ֭הָר לֹ֣א יַחְפּ֑וֹז יִבְטַ֓ח ׀ כִּֽי־ יָגִ֖יחַ יַרְדֵּ֣ן אֶל־ פִּֽיהוּ׃
24Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?24בְּעֵינָ֥יו יִקָּחֶ֑נּוּ בְּ֝מֽוֹקְשִׁ֗ים יִנְקָב־ אָֽף׃
