2	הִנֵּה־ נָ֭א פָּתַ֣חְתִּי פִ֑י דִּבְּרָ֖ה לְשׁוֹנִ֣י בְחִכִּֽי׃	Behold, I open my mouth; the tongue in my mouth speaks.	I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3	יֹֽשֶׁר־ לִבִּ֥י אֲמָרָ֑י וְדַ֥עַת שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י בָּר֥וּר מִלֵּֽלוּ׃	My words declare the uprightness of my heart, and what my lips know they speak sincerely.	My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know.
4	רֽוּחַ־ אֵ֥ל עָשָׂ֑תְנִי וְנִשְׁמַ֖ת שַׁדַּ֣י תְּחַיֵּֽנִי׃	The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.	The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

6	הֵן־ אֲנִ֣י כְפִ֣יךָ לָאֵ֑ל מֵ֝חֹ֗מֶר קֹרַ֥צְתִּי גַם־ אָֽנִי׃	Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was pinched off from a piece of clay.	I am the same as you in God’s sight; I too am a piece of clay.
7	הִנֵּ֣ה אֵ֭מָתִי לֹ֣א תְבַעֲתֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝אַכְפִּ֗י עָלֶ֥יךָ לֹא־ יִכְבָּֽד׃	Behold, no fear of me need terrify you; my pressure will not be heavy upon you.	No fear of me should alarm you, nor should my hand be heavy on you.
8	אַ֭ךְ אָמַ֣רְתָּ בְאָזְנָ֑י וְק֖וֹל מִלִּ֣ין אֶשְׁמָֽע׃	“Surely you have spoken in my ears, and I have heard the sound of your words.	“But you have said in my hearing— I heard the very words—
9	זַ֥ךְ אֲנִ֗י בְּֽלִ֫י פָ֥שַׁע חַ֥ף אָנֹכִ֑י וְלֹ֖א עָוֺ֣ן לִֽי׃	You say, ‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.	I am pure, I have done no wrong; I am clean and free from sin.
10	הֵ֣ן תְּ֭נוּאוֹת עָלַ֣י יִמְצָ֑א יַחְשְׁבֵ֖נִי לְאוֹיֵ֣ב לֽוֹ׃	Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me as his enemy,	Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy.
11	יָשֵׂ֣ם בַּסַּ֣ד רַגְלָ֑י יִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר כָּל־ אָרְחֹתָֽי׃	he puts my feet in the stocks and watches all my paths.’	He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.’
12	הֶן־ זֹ֣את לֹא־ צָדַ֣קְתָּ אֶעֱנֶ֑ךָּ כִּֽי־ יִרְבֶּ֥ה אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵאֱנֽוֹשׁ׃	“Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.	“But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than any mortal.
13	מַ֭דּוּעַ אֵלָ֣יו רִיב֑וֹתָ כִּ֥י כָל־ דְּ֝בָרָ֗יו לֹ֣א־ יַעֲנֶֽה׃	Why do you contend against him, saying, ‘He will answer none of man’s words’?	Why do you complain to him that he responds to no one’s words?
14	כִּֽי־ בְאַחַ֥ת יְדַבֶּר־ אֵ֑ל וּ֝בִשְׁתַּ֗יִם לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃	For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.	For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it.
15	בַּחֲל֤וֹם ׀ חֶזְי֬וֹן לַ֗יְלָה בִּנְפֹ֣ל תַּ֭רְדֵּמָה עַל־ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים בִּ֝תְנוּמ֗וֹת עֲלֵ֣י מִשְׁכָּֽב׃	In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds,	In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds,

17	לְ֭הָסִיר אָדָ֣ם מַעֲשֶׂ֑ה וְגֵוָ֖ה מִגֶּ֣בֶר יְכַסֶּֽה׃	that he may turn man aside from his deed and conceal pride from a man;	to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride,

20	וְזִֽהֲמַ֣תּוּ חַיָּת֣וֹ לָ֑חֶם וְ֝נַפְשׁ֗וֹ מַאֲכַ֥ל תַּאֲוָֽה׃	so that his life loathes bread, and his appetite the choicest food.	so that their body finds food repulsive and their soul loathes the choicest meal.
21	יִ֣כֶל בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מֵרֹ֑אִי [ושפי] (וְשֻׁפּ֥וּ) עַ֝צְמוֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א רֻאּֽוּ׃	His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen, and his bones that were not seen stick out.	Their flesh wastes away to nothing, and their bones, once hidden, now stick out.
22	וַתִּקְרַ֣ב לַשַּׁ֣חַת נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וְ֝חַיָּת֗וֹ לַֽמְמִתִֽים׃	His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death.	They draw near to the pit, and their life to the messengers of death.
23	אִם־ יֵ֤שׁ עָלָ֨יו ׀ מַלְאָ֗ךְ מֵלִ֗יץ אֶחָ֥ד מִנִּי־ אָ֑לֶף לְהַגִּ֖יד לְאָדָ֣ם יָשְׁרֽוֹ׃	If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him,	Yet if there is an angel at their side, a messenger, one out of a thousand, sent to tell them how to be upright,
24	וַיְחֻנֶּ֗נּוּ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר פְּ֭דָעֵהוּ מֵרֶ֥דֶת שָׁ֗חַת מָצָ֥אתִי כֹֽפֶר׃	and he is merciful to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom;	and he is gracious to that person and says to God, ‘Spare them from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for them—
25	רֻֽטֲפַ֣שׁ בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מִנֹּ֑עַר יָ֝שׁ֗וּב לִימֵ֥י עֲלוּמָֽיו׃	let his flesh become fresh with youth; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;	let their flesh be renewed like a child’s; let them be restored as in the days of their youth’—
26	יֶעְתַּ֤ר אֶל־ אֱל֨וֹהַּ ׀ וַיִּרְצֵ֗הוּ וַיַּ֣רְא פָּ֭נָיו בִּתְרוּעָ֑ה וַיָּ֥שֶׁב לֶ֝אֱנ֗וֹשׁ צִדְקָתֽוֹ׃	then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness.	then that person can pray to God and find favor with him, they will see God’s face and shout for joy; he will restore them to full well-being.
27	יָשֹׁ֤ר ׀ עַל־ אֲנָשִׁ֗ים וַיֹּ֗אמֶר חָ֭טָאתִי וְיָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי וְלֹא־ שָׁ֥וָה לִֽי׃	He sings before men and says: ‘I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not repaid to me.

29	הֶן־ כָּל־ אֵ֭לֶּה יִפְעַל־ אֵ֑ל פַּעֲמַ֖יִם שָׁל֣וֹשׁ עִם־ גָּֽבֶר׃	“Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man,	“God does all these things to a person— twice, even three times—
30	לְהָשִׁ֣יב נַ֭פְשׁוֹ מִנִּי־ שָׁ֑חַת לֵ֝א֗וֹר בְּא֣וֹר הַֽחַיִּים׃	to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life.	to turn them back from the pit, that the light of life may shine on them.
31	הַקְשֵׁ֖ב אִיּ֥וֹב שְֽׁמַֽע־ לִ֑י הַ֝חֲרֵ֗שׁ וְאָנֹכִ֥י אֲדַבֵּֽר׃	Pay attention, O Job, listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.	“Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
32	אִם־ יֵשׁ־ מִלִּ֥ין הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נִי דַּ֝בֵּ֗ר כִּֽי־ חָפַ֥צְתִּי צַדְּקֶֽךָּ׃	If you have any words, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you.	If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, for I want to vindicate you.
33	אִם־ אַ֭יִן אַתָּ֥ה שְֽׁמַֽע־ לִ֑י הַ֝חֲרֵ֗שׁ וַאֲאַלֶּפְךָ֥ חָכְמָֽה׃ ס	If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”	But if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
