1	וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃	Then Job answered and said:	Then Job replied:
2	מֶה־ עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־ כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־ עֹֽז׃	“How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!	“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
3	מַה־ יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְלֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝תוּשִׁיָּ֗ה לָרֹ֥ב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃	How you have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!	What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!
4	אֶת־ מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־ מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃	With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come out from you?	Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
5	הָרְפָאִ֥ים יְחוֹלָ֑לוּ מִתַּ֥חַת מַ֝֗יִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃	The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants.	“The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6	עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃	Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.	The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
7	נֹטֶ֣ה צָפ֣וֹן עַל־ תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל־ בְּלִי־ מָֽה׃	He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.	He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
8	צֹרֵֽר־ מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹא־ נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם׃	He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them.	He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9	מְאַחֵ֥ז פְּנֵי־ כִסֵּ֑ה פַּרְשֵׁ֖ז עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנֽוֹ׃	He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud.	He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.
10	חֹֽק־ חָ֭ג עַל־ פְּנֵי־ מָ֑יִם עַד־ תַּכְלִ֖ית א֣וֹר עִם־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃	He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.	He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.
11	עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ׃	The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke.	The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.
12	בְּ֭כֹחוֹ רָגַ֣ע הַיָּ֑ם [ובתובנתו] (וּ֝בִתְבוּנָת֗וֹ) מָ֣חַץ רָֽהַב׃	By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.	By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
13	בְּ֭רוּחוֹ שָׁמַ֣יִם שִׁפְרָ֑ה חֹֽלֲלָ֥ה יָ֝ד֗וֹ נָחָ֥שׁ בָּרִֽיחַ׃	By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.	By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
14	הֶן־ אֵ֤לֶּה ׀ קְצ֬וֹת [דרכו] (דְּרָכָ֗יו) וּמַה־ שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־ בּ֑וֹ וְרַ֥עַם [גבורתו] (גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יו‪‬) מִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ ס	Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”	And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”
