2	הַלְאֵ֥ל יִסְכָּן־ גָּ֑בֶר כִּֽי־ יִסְכֹּ֖ן עָלֵ֣ימוֹ מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃	“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.	“Can a man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise person benefit him?
3	הַחֵ֣פֶץ לְ֭שַׁדַּי כִּ֣י תִצְדָּ֑ק וְאִם־ בֶּ֝֗צַע כִּֽי־ תַתֵּ֥ם דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃	Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are in the right, or is it gain to him if you make your ways blameless?	What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous? What would he gain if your ways were blameless?
4	הֲֽ֭מִיִּרְאָ֣תְךָ יֹכִיחֶ֑ךָ יָב֥וֹא עִ֝מְּךָ֗ בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃	Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you and enters into judgment with you?	“Is it for your piety that he rebukes you and brings charges against you?

6	כִּֽי־ תַחְבֹּ֣ל אַחֶ֣יךָ חִנָּ֑ם וּבִגְדֵ֖י עֲרוּמִּ֣ים תַּפְשִֽׁיט׃	For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing and stripped the naked of their clothing.	You demanded security from your relatives for no reason; you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.

8	וְאִ֣ישׁ זְ֭רוֹעַ ל֣וֹ הָאָ֑רֶץ וּנְשׂ֥וּא פָ֝נִ֗ים יֵ֣שֶׁב בָּֽהּ׃	The man with power possessed the land, and the favored man lived in it.	though you were a powerful man, owning land— an honored man, living on it.
9	אַ֭לְמָנוֹת שִׁלַּ֣חְתָּ רֵיקָ֑ם וּזְרֹע֖וֹת יְתֹמִ֣ים יְדֻכָּֽא׃	You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.	And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.

12	הֲ‍ֽלֹא־ אֱ֭לוֹהַּ גֹּ֣בַהּ שָׁמָ֑יִם וּרְאֵ֤ה רֹ֖אשׁ כּוֹכָבִ֣ים כִּי־ רָֽמּוּ׃	“Is not God high in the heavens? See the highest stars, how lofty they are!	“Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!
13	וְֽ֭אָמַרְתָּ מַה־ יָּ֣דַֽע אֵ֑ל הַבְעַ֖ד עֲרָפֶ֣ל יִשְׁפּֽוֹט׃	But you say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the deep darkness?	Yet you say, ‘What does God know? Does he judge through such darkness?
14	עָבִ֣ים סֵֽתֶר־ ל֭וֹ וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֶ֑ה וְח֥וּג שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם יִתְהַלָּֽךְ׃	Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.’	Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’
15	הַאֹ֣רַח עוֹלָ֣ם תִּשְׁמֹ֑ר אֲשֶׁ֖ר דָּרְכ֣וּ מְתֵי־ אָֽוֶן׃	Will you keep to the old way that wicked men have trod?	Will you keep to the old path that the wicked have trod?
16	אֲשֶֽׁר־ קֻמְּט֥וּ וְלֹא־ עֵ֑ת נָ֝הָ֗ר יוּצַ֥ק יְסוֹדָֽם׃	They were snatched away before their time; their foundation was washed away.	They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.
17	הָאֹמְרִ֣ים לָ֭אֵל ס֣וּר מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וּמַה־ יִּפְעַ֖ל שַׁדַּ֣י לָֽמוֹ׃	They said to God, ‘Depart from us,’ and ‘What can the Almighty do to us?’	They said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’
18	וְה֤וּא מִלֵּ֣א בָתֵּיהֶ֣ם ט֑וֹב וַעֲצַ֥ת רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים רָ֣חֲקָה מֶֽנִּי׃	Yet he filled their houses with good things— but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.	Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.
19	יִרְא֣וּ צַדִּיקִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָ֑חוּ וְ֝נָקִ֗י יִלְעַג־ לָֽמוֹ׃	The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent one mocks at them,	The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,
20	אִם־ לֹ֣א נִכְחַ֣ד קִימָ֑נוּ וְ֝יִתְרָ֗ם אָ֣כְלָה אֵֽשׁ׃	saying, ‘Surely our adversaries are cut off, and what they left the fire has consumed.’	Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire devours their wealth.’

24	וְשִׁית־ עַל־ עָפָ֥ר בָּ֑צֶר וּבְצ֖וּר נְחָלִ֣ים אוֹפִֽיר׃	if you lay gold in the dust, and gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,	and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,
25	וְהָיָ֣ה שַׁדַּ֣י בְּצָרֶ֑יךָ וְכֶ֖סֶף תּוֹעָפ֣וֹת לָֽךְ׃	then the Almighty will be your gold and your precious silver.	then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you.
26	כִּי־ אָ֭ז עַל־ שַׁדַּ֣י תִּתְעַנָּ֑ג וְתִשָּׂ֖א אֶל־ אֱל֣וֹהַּ פָּנֶֽיךָ׃	For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.	Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God.

28	וְֽתִגְזַר־ א֭וֹמֶר וְיָ֣קָם לָ֑ךְ וְעַל־ דְּ֝רָכֶ֗יךָ נָ֣גַֽהּ אֽוֹר׃	You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.	What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways.
29	כִּֽי־ הִ֭שְׁפִּילוּ וַתֹּ֣אמֶר גֵּוָ֑ה וְשַׁ֖ח עֵינַ֣יִם יוֹשִֽׁעַ׃	For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’; but he saves the lowly.	When people are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast.
30	יְֽמַלֵּ֥ט‪‬ אִֽי־ נָקִ֑י וְ֝נִמְלַ֗ט בְּבֹ֣ר כַּפֶּֽיךָ׃ פ	He delivers even the one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”	He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
