1“Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.1הֶן־ כֹּ֭ל רָאֲתָ֣ה עֵינִ֑י שָֽׁמְעָ֥ה אָ֝זְנִ֗י וַתָּ֥בֶן לָֽהּ׃
2What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.2כְּֽ֭דַעְתְּכֶם יָדַ֣עְתִּי גַם־ אָ֑נִי לֹא־ נֹפֵ֖ל אָנֹכִ֣י מִכֶּֽם׃
3But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.3אוּלָ֗ם אֲ֭נִי אֶל־ שַׁדַּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר וְהוֹכֵ֖חַ אֶל־ אֵ֣ל אֶחְפָּֽץ׃
4But you forgers of lies, You are all worthless physicians.4וְֽאוּלָ֗ם אַתֶּ֥ם טֹֽפְלֵי־ שָׁ֑קֶר רֹפְאֵ֖י אֱלִ֣ל כֻּלְּכֶֽם׃
5Oh, that you would be silent, And it would be your wisdom!5מִֽי־ יִ֭תֵּן הַחֲרֵ֣שׁ תַּחֲרִישׁ֑וּן וּתְהִ֖י לָכֶ֣ם לְחָכְמָֽה׃
6Now hear my reasoning, And heed the pleadings of my lips.6שִׁמְעוּ־ נָ֥א תוֹכַחְתִּ֑י וְרִב֖וֹת שְׂפָתַ֣י הַקְשִֽׁיבוּ׃
7Will you speak wickedly for God, And talk deceitfully for Him?7הַ֭לְאֵל תְּדַבְּר֣וּ עַוְלָ֑ה וְ֝ל֗וֹ תְּֽדַבְּר֥וּ רְמִיָּֽה׃
8Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?8הֲפָנָ֥יו תִּשָּׂא֑וּן אִם־ לָאֵ֥ל תְּרִיבֽוּן׃
9Will it be well when He searches you out? Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?9הֲ֭טוֹב כִּֽי־ יַחְקֹ֣ר אֶתְכֶ֑ם אִם־ כְּהָתֵ֥ל בֶּ֝אֱנ֗וֹשׁ תְּהָתֵ֥לּוּ בֽוֹ׃
10He will surely rebuke you If you secretly show partiality.10הוֹכֵ֣חַ יוֹכִ֣יחַ אֶתְכֶ֑ם אִם־ בַּ֝סֵּ֗תֶר פָּנִ֥ים תִּשָּׂאֽוּן׃
11Will not His excellence make you afraid, And the dread of Him fall upon you?11הֲלֹ֣א שְׂ֭אֵתוֹ תְּבַעֵ֣ת אֶתְכֶ֑ם וּ֝פַחְדּ֗וֹ יִפֹּ֥ל עֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
12Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.12זִֽ֭כְרֹנֵיכֶם מִשְׁלֵי־ אֵ֑פֶר לְגַבֵּי־ חֹ֝֗מֶר גַּבֵּיכֶֽם׃
13“Hold your peace with me, and let me speak, Then let come on me what may!13הַחֲרִ֣ישׁוּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי וַאֲדַבְּרָה־ אָ֑נִי וְיַעֲבֹ֖ר עָלַ֣י מָֽה׃
14Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hands?14עַל־ מָ֤ה ׀ אֶשָּׂ֣א בְשָׂרִ֣י בְשִׁנָּ֑י וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י אָשִׂ֥ים בְּכַפִּֽי׃
15Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.15הֵ֣ן יִ֭קְטְלֵנִי [לא] (ל֣וֹ) אֲיַחֵ֑ל אַךְ־ דְּ֝רָכַ֗י אֶל־ פָּנָ֥יו אוֹכִֽיחַ׃
16He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him.16גַּם־ הוּא־ לִ֥י לִֽישׁוּעָ֑ה כִּי־ לֹ֥א לְ֝פָנָ֗יו חָנֵ֥ף יָבֽוֹא׃
17Listen carefully to my speech, And to my declaration with your ears.17שִׁמְע֣וּ שָׁ֭מוֹעַ מִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝אַֽחֲוָתִ֗י בְּאָזְנֵיכֶֽם׃
18See now, I have prepared my case, I know that I shall be vindicated.18הִנֵּה־ נָ֭א עָרַ֣כְתִּי מִשְׁפָּ֑ט יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־ אֲנִ֥י אֶצְדָּֽק׃
19Who is he who will contend with me? If now I hold my tongue, I perish.19מִי־ ה֭וּא יָרִ֣יב עִמָּדִ֑י כִּֽי־ עַתָּ֖ה אַחֲרִ֣ישׁ וְאֶגְוָֽע׃
20“Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide myself from You:20אַךְ־ שְׁ֭תַּיִם אַל־ תַּ֣עַשׂ עִמָּדִ֑י אָ֥ז מִ֝פָּנֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א אֶסָּתֵֽר׃
21Withdraw Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You make me afraid.21כַּ֭פְּךָ מֵעָלַ֣י הַרְחַ֑ק וְ֝אֵ֥מָתְךָ֗ אַֽל־ תְּבַעֲתַֽנִּי׃
22Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then You respond to me.22וּ֭קְרָא וְאָנֹכִ֣י אֶֽעֱנֶ֑ה אֽוֹ־ אֲ֝דַבֵּ֗ר וַהֲשִׁיבֵֽנִי׃
23How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.23כַּמָּ֣ה לִ֭י עֲוֺנ֣וֹת וְחַטָּא֑וֹת פִּֽשְׁעִ֥י וְ֝חַטָּאתִ֗י הֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃
24Why do You hide Your face, And regard me as Your enemy?24לָֽמָּה־ פָנֶ֥יךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר וְתַחְשְׁבֵ֖נִי לְאוֹיֵ֣ב לָֽךְ׃
25Will You frighten a leaf driven to and fro? And will You pursue dry stubble?25הֶעָלֶ֣ה נִדָּ֣ף תַּעֲר֑וֹץ וְאֶת־ קַ֖שׁ יָבֵ֣שׁ תִּרְדֹּֽף׃
26For You write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.26כִּֽי־ תִכְתֹּ֣ב עָלַ֣י מְרֹר֑וֹת וְ֝תוֹרִישֵׁ֗נִי עֲוֺנ֥וֹת נְעוּרָֽי׃
27You put my feet in the stocks, And watch closely all my paths. You set a limit for the soles of my feet.27וְתָ֘שֵׂ֤ם בַּסַּ֨ד ׀ רַגְלַ֗י וְתִשְׁמ֥וֹר כָּל־ אָרְחוֹתָ֑י עַל־ שָׁרְשֵׁ֥י רַ֝גְלַ֗י תִּתְחַקֶּֽה׃
28“Man decays like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.28וְ֭הוּא כְּרָקָ֣ב יִבְלֶ֑ה כְּ֝בֶ֗גֶד אֲכָ֣לוֹ עָֽשׁ׃
