1My heart pounds at this and leaps from my chest. 1אַף־ לְ֭זֹאת יֶחֱרַ֣ד לִבִּ֑י וְ֝יִתַּ֗ר מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃
2Just listen to His thunderous voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth. 2שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֣וֹעַ בְּרֹ֣גֶז קֹל֑וֹ וְ֝הֶ֗גֶה מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃
3He lets it loose beneath the entire sky; His lightning to the ends of the earth. 3תַּֽחַת־ כָּל־ הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אוֹר֗וֹ עַל־ כַּנְפ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
4Then there comes a roaring sound; God thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His rumbling voice is heard. 4אַחֲרָ֤יו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־ ק֗וֹל יַ֭רְעֵם בְּק֣וֹל גְּאוֹנ֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א יְ֝עַקְּבֵ֗ם כִּֽי־ יִשָּׁמַ֥ע קוֹלֽוֹ׃
5God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things that we cannot comprehend. 5יַרְעֵ֤ם אֵ֣ל בְּ֭קוֹלוֹ נִפְלָא֑וֹת עֹשֶׂ֥ה גְ֝דֹל֗וֹת וְלֹ֣א נֵדָֽע׃
6For He says to the snow, "Fall to the earth," and the torrential rains, His mighty torrential rains, 6כִּ֤י לַשֶּׁ֨לַג ׀‪‬ יֹאמַ֗ר הֱוֵ֫א אָ֥רֶץ וְגֶ֥שֶׁם מָטָ֑ר וְ֝גֶ֗שֶׁם מִטְר֥וֹת עֻזּֽוֹ׃
7serve as His sign to all mankind, so that all men may know His work. 7בְּיַד־ כָּל־ אָדָ֥ם יַחְתּ֑וֹם לָ֝דַ֗עַת כָּל־ אַנְשֵׁ֥י מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃
8The wild animals enter their lairs and stay in their dens. 8וַתָּבֹ֣א חַיָּ֣ה בְמוֹ־ אָ֑רֶב וּבִמְע֖וֹנֹתֶ֣יהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃
9The windstorm comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds. 9מִן־ הַ֭חֶדֶר תָּב֣וֹא סוּפָ֑ה וּֽמִמְּזָרִ֥ים קָרָֽה׃
10Ice is formed by the breath of God, and watery expanses are frozen. 10מִנִּשְׁמַת־ אֵ֥ל יִתֶּן־ קָ֑רַח וְרֹ֖חַב מַ֣יִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃
11He saturates clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them. 11אַף־ בְּ֭רִי יַטְרִ֣יחַ עָ֑ב יָ֝פִ֗יץ עֲנַ֣ן אוֹרֽוֹ׃
12They swirl about, turning round and round at His direction, accomplishing everything He commands them over the surface of the inhabited world. 12וְה֤וּא מְסִבּ֨וֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ [בתחבולתו] (בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣יו) לְפָעֳלָ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצַוֵּ֓ם ׀ עַל־ פְּנֵ֖י תֵבֵ֣ל אָֽרְצָה׃
13He causes this to happen for punishment, for His land, or for His faithful love. 13אִם־ לְשֵׁ֥בֶט אִם־ לְאַרְצ֑וֹ אִם־ לְ֝חֶ֗סֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃
14Listen to this, Job. Stop and consider God's wonders. 14הַאֲזִ֣ינָה זֹּ֣את אִיּ֑וֹב עֲ֝מֹ֗ד וְהִתְבּוֹנֵ֤ן ׀ נִפְלְא֬וֹת אֵֽל׃
15Do you know how God directs His clouds or makes their lightning flash? 15הֲ֭תֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־ אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝הוֹפִ֗יעַ א֣וֹר עֲנָנֽוֹ׃
16Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonderful works of Him who has perfect knowledge? 16הֲ֭תֵדַע עַל־ מִפְלְשֵׂי־ עָ֑ב מִ֝פְלְא֗וֹת תְּמִ֣ים דֵּעִֽים׃
17You whose clothes get hot when the south wind brings calm to the land, 17אֲשֶׁר־ בְּגָדֶ֥יךָ חַמִּ֑ים בְּהַשְׁקִ֥ט אֶ֝֗רֶץ מִדָּרֽוֹם׃
18can you help God spread out the skies as hard as a cast metal mirror? 18תַּרְקִ֣יעַ עִ֭מּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִ֑ים חֲ֝זָקִ֗ים כִּרְאִ֥י מוּצָֽק׃
19Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness. 19ה֭וֹדִיעֵנוּ מַה־ נֹּ֣אמַר ל֑וֹ לֹ֥א־ נַ֝עֲרֹ֗ךְ מִפְּנֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
20Should He be told that I want to speak? Can a man speak when he is confused? 20הַֽיְסֻפַּר־ ל֭וֹ כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אִֽם־ אָ֥מַר אִ֝֗ישׁ כִּ֣י יְבֻלָּֽע׃
21Now men cannot even look at the sun when it is in the skies, after a wind has swept through and cleared them away. 21וְעַתָּ֤ה ׀ לֹ֘א רָ֤אוּ א֗וֹר בָּהִ֣יר ה֭וּא בַּשְּׁחָקִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ עָ֝בְרָ֗ה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃
22Yet out of the north He comes, shrouded in a golden glow; awesome majesty surrounds Him. 22מִ֭צָּפוֹן זָהָ֣ב יֶֽאֱתֶ֑ה עַל־ אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַּ נ֣וֹרָא הֽוֹד׃
23The Almighty--we cannot reach Him-- He is exalted in power! He will not oppress justice and abundant righteousness, 23שַׁדַּ֣י לֹֽא־ מְ֭צָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־ כֹ֑חַ וּמִשְׁפָּ֥ט וְרֹב־ צְ֝דָקָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽה׃
24Therefore, men fear Him. He does not look favorably on any who are wise in heart. 24לָ֭כֵן יְרֵא֣וּהוּ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים לֹֽא־ יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה כָּל־ חַכְמֵי־ לֵֽב׃ פ
