2	הֲנִסָּ֬ה דָבָ֣ר אֵלֶ֣יךָ תִּלְאֶ֑ה וַעְצֹ֥ר בְּ֝מִלִּ֗ין מִ֣י יוּכָֽל׃	“If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking?	“If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can keep from speaking?
3	הִ֭נֵּה יִסַּ֣רְתָּ רַבִּ֑ים וְיָדַ֖יִם רָפ֣וֹת תְּחַזֵּֽק׃	Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.	Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands.
4	כּ֭וֹשֵׁל יְקִימ֣וּן מִלֶּ֑יךָ וּבִרְכַּ֖יִם כֹּרְע֣וֹת תְּאַמֵּֽץ׃	Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.	Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees.
5	כִּ֤י עַתָּ֨ה ׀ תָּב֣וֹא אֵלֶ֣יךָ וַתֵּ֑לֶא תִּגַּ֥ע עָ֝דֶ֗יךָ וַתִּבָּהֵֽל׃	But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.	But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.
6	הֲלֹ֣א יִ֭רְאָתְךָ כִּסְלָתֶ֑ךָ תִּ֝קְוָתְךָ֗ וְתֹ֣ם דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃	Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?	Should not your piety be your confidence and your blameless ways your hope?

8	כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר רָ֭אִיתִי חֹ֣רְשֵׁי אָ֑וֶן וְזֹרְעֵ֖י עָמָ֣ל יִקְצְרֻֽהוּ׃	As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.	As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.
9	מִנִּשְׁמַ֣ת אֱל֣וֹהַ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ וּמֵר֖וּחַ אַפּ֣וֹ יִכְלֽוּ׃	By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.	At the breath of God they perish; at the blast of his anger they are no more.
10	שַׁאֲגַ֣ת אַ֭רְיֵה וְק֣וֹל שָׁ֑חַל וְשִׁנֵּ֖י כְפִירִ֣ים נִתָּֽעוּ׃	The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions are broken.	The lions may roar and growl, yet the teeth of the great lions are broken.
11	לַ֭יִשׁ אֹבֵ֣ד מִבְּלִי־ טָ֑רֶף וּבְנֵ֥י לָ֝בִ֗יא יִתְפָּרָֽדוּ׃	The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.	The lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
12	וְ֭אֵלַי דָּבָ֣ר יְגֻנָּ֑ב וַתִּקַּ֥ח אָ֝זְנִ֗י שֵׁ֣מֶץ מֶֽנְהֽוּ׃	“Now a word was brought to me stealthily; my ear received the whisper of it.	“A word was secretly brought to me, my ears caught a whisper of it.
13	בִּ֭שְׂעִפִּים מֵחֶזְיֹנ֣וֹת לָ֑יְלָה בִּנְפֹ֥ל תַּ֝רְדֵּמָ֗ה עַל־ אֲנָשִֽׁים׃	Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,	Amid disquieting dreams in the night, when deep sleep falls on people,
14	פַּ֣חַד קְ֭רָאַנִי וּרְעָדָ֑ה וְרֹ֖ב עַצְמוֹתַ֣י הִפְחִֽיד׃	dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.	fear and trembling seized me and made all my bones shake.
15	וְ֭רוּחַ עַל־ פָּנַ֣י יַחֲלֹ֑ף תְּ֝סַמֵּ֗ר שַֽׂעֲרַ֥ת בְּשָׂרִֽי׃	A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.	A spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body stood on end.
16	יַעֲמֹ֤ד ׀ וְֽלֹא־ אַכִּ֬יר מַרְאֵ֗הוּ תְּ֭מוּנָה לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָ֑י דְּמָמָ֖ה וָק֣וֹל אֶשְׁמָֽע׃	It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:	It stopped, but I could not tell what it was. A form stood before my eyes, and I heard a hushed voice:
17	הַֽ֭אֱנוֹשׁ מֵאֱל֣וֹהַ יִצְדָּ֑ק אִ֥ם מֵ֝עֹשֵׂ֗הוּ יִטְהַר־ גָּֽבֶר׃	‘Can mortal man be in the right before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?	Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?
18	הֵ֣ן בַּ֭עֲבָדָיו לֹ֣א יַאֲמִ֑ין וּ֝בְמַלְאָכָ֗יו יָשִׂ֥ים תָּהֳלָֽה׃	Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;	If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error,
19	אַ֤ף ׀ שֹׁכְנֵ֬י בָֽתֵּי־ חֹ֗מֶר אֲשֶׁר־ בֶּעָפָ֥ר יְסוֹדָ֑ם יְ֝דַכְּא֗וּם לִפְנֵי־ עָֽשׁ׃	how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like the moth.	how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!
20	מִבֹּ֣קֶר לָעֶ֣רֶב יֻכַּ֑תּוּ מִבְּלִ֥י מֵ֝שִׂ֗ים לָנֶ֥צַח יֹאבֵֽדוּ׃	Between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces; they perish forever without anyone regarding it.	Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces; unnoticed, they perish forever.
21	הֲלֹא־ נִסַּ֣ע יִתְרָ֣ם בָּ֑ם יָ֝מ֗וּתוּ וְלֹ֣א בְחָכְמָֽה׃	Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them, do they not die, and that without wisdom?’	Are not the cords of their tent pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’
