1At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place. 1אַף־ לְ֭זֹאת יֶחֱרַ֣ד לִבִּ֑י וְ֝יִתַּ֗ר מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃
2Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling [that] comes from His mouth. 2שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֣וֹעַ בְּרֹ֣גֶז קֹל֑וֹ וְ֝הֶ֗גֶה מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃
3He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth. 3תַּֽחַת־ כָּל־ הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אוֹר֗וֹ עַל־ כַּנְפ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
4Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain [the lightning] when His voice resounds. 4אַחֲרָ֤יו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־ ק֗וֹל יַ֭רְעֵם בְּק֣וֹל גְּאוֹנ֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א יְ֝עַקְּבֵ֗ם כִּֽי־ יִשָּׁמַ֥ע קוֹלֽוֹ׃
5God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend. 5יַרְעֵ֤ם אֵ֣ל בְּ֭קוֹלוֹ נִפְלָא֑וֹת עֹשֶׂ֥ה גְ֝דֹל֗וֹת וְלֹ֣א נֵדָֽע׃
6For He says to the snow, ‘Fall [on] the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’ 6כִּ֤י לַשֶּׁ֨לַג ׀‪‬ יֹאמַ֗ר הֱוֵ֫א אָ֥רֶץ וְגֶ֥שֶׁם מָטָ֑ר וְ֝גֶ֗שֶׁם מִטְר֥וֹת עֻזּֽוֹ׃
7He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work. 7בְּיַד־ כָּל־ אָדָ֥ם יַחְתּ֑וֹם לָ֝דַ֗עַת כָּל־ אַנְשֵׁ֥י מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃
8The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens. 8וַתָּבֹ֣א חַיָּ֣ה בְמוֹ־ אָ֑רֶב וּבִמְע֖וֹנֹתֶ֣יהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃
9The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds. 9מִן־ הַ֭חֶדֶר תָּב֣וֹא סוּפָ֑ה וּֽמִמְּזָרִ֥ים קָרָֽה׃
10By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen. 10מִנִּשְׁמַת־ אֵ֥ל יִתֶּן־ קָ֑רַח וְרֹ֖חַב מַ֣יִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃
11He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them. 11אַף־ בְּ֭רִי יַטְרִ֣יחַ עָ֑ב יָ֝פִ֗יץ עֲנַ֣ן אוֹרֽוֹ׃
12They swirl about, turning round and round at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth. 12וְה֤וּא מְסִבּ֨וֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ [בתחבולתו] (בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣יו) לְפָעֳלָ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצַוֵּ֓ם ׀ עַל־ פְּנֵ֖י תֵבֵ֣ל אָֽרְצָה׃
13Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion. 13אִם־ לְשֵׁ֥בֶט אִם־ לְאַרְצ֑וֹ אִם־ לְ֝חֶ֗סֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃
14Listen to this, Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God. 14הַאֲזִ֣ינָה זֹּ֣את אִיּ֑וֹב עֲ֝מֹ֗ד וְהִתְבּוֹנֵ֤ן ׀ נִפְלְא֬וֹת אֵֽל׃
15Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash? 15הֲ֭תֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־ אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝הוֹפִ֗יעַ א֣וֹר עֲנָנֽוֹ׃
16Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge? 16הֲ֭תֵדַע עַל־ מִפְלְשֵׂי־ עָ֑ב מִ֝פְלְא֗וֹת תְּמִ֣ים דֵּעִֽים׃
17You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind, 17אֲשֶׁר־ בְּגָדֶ֥יךָ חַמִּ֑ים בְּהַשְׁקִ֥ט אֶ֝֗רֶץ מִדָּרֽוֹם׃
18can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze? 18תַּרְקִ֣יעַ עִ֭מּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִ֑ים חֲ֝זָקִ֗ים כִּרְאִ֥י מוּצָֽק׃
19Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness. 19ה֭וֹדִיעֵנוּ מַה־ נֹּ֣אמַר ל֑וֹ לֹ֥א־ נַ֝עֲרֹ֗ךְ מִפְּנֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
20Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up? 20הַֽיְסֻפַּר־ ל֭וֹ כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אִֽם־ אָ֥מַר אִ֝֗ישׁ כִּ֣י יְבֻלָּֽע׃
21Now no one can gaze at the sun [when] it [is] bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean. 21וְעַתָּ֤ה ׀ לֹ֘א רָ֤אוּ א֗וֹר בָּהִ֣יר ה֭וּא בַּשְּׁחָקִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ עָ֝בְרָ֗ה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃
22Out of the north He comes in golden [splendor]; awesome majesty surrounds Him. 22מִ֭צָּפוֹן זָהָ֣ב יֶֽאֱתֶ֑ה עַל־ אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַּ נ֣וֹרָא הֽוֹד׃
23The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness, He does not oppress. 23שַׁדַּ֣י לֹֽא־ מְ֭צָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־ כֹ֑חַ וּמִשְׁפָּ֥ט וְרֹב־ צְ֝דָקָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽה׃
24Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.” 24לָ֭כֵן יְרֵא֣וּהוּ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים לֹֽא־ יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה כָּל־ חַכְמֵי־ לֵֽב׃ פ
