Modern Hebrew Bible
1But now the younger in time scorn me, whose fathers I would not have set with the dogs of my flock:
1ועתה שחקו עלי צעירים ממני לימים אשר מאסתי אבותם לשית עם כלבי צאני׃
2The strength of whose hands was to me as nothing, and they were thought unworthy of life itself.
2גם כח ידיהם למה לי עלימו אבד כלח׃
3Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery.
3בחסר ובכפן גלמוד הערקים ציה אמש שואה ומשאה׃
4And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
4הקטפים מלוח עלי שיח ושרש רתמים לחמם׃
5Who snatched up these things out of the valleys, and when they had found any of them, they ran to them with a cry.
5מן גו יגרשו יריעו עלימו כגנב׃
6They dwelt in the desert places of torrents, and in caves of earth, or upon the gravel.
6בערוץ נחלים לשכן חרי עפר וכפים׃
7They pleased themselves among these kind of things, and counted it delightful to be under the briers.
7בין שיחים ינהקו תחת חרול יספחו׃
8The children of foolish and base men, and not appearing at all upon the earth.
8בני נבל גם בני בלי שם נכאו מן הארץ׃
9Now I am turned into their song, and am become their byword.
9ועתה נגינתם הייתי ואהי להם למלה׃
10They abhor me, and flee far from me, and are not afraid to spit in my face.
10תעבוני רחקו מני ומפני לא חשכו רק׃
11For he hath opened his quiver, and hath afflicted me, and hath put a bridle into my mouth.
11כי יתרו פתח ויענני ורסן מפני שלחו׃
12At the right hand of my rising, my calamities forthwith arose: they have overthrown my feet, and have overwhelmed me with their paths as with waves.
12על ימין פרחח יקומו רגלי שלחו ויסלו עלי ארחות אידם׃
13They have destroyed my ways, they have lain in wait against me, and they have prevailed, and there was none to help.
13נתסו נתיבתי להותי יעילו לא עזר למו׃
14They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
14כפרץ רחב יאתיו תחת שאה התגלגלו׃
15I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.
15ההפך עלי בלהות תרדף כרוח נדבתי וכעב עברה ישעתי׃
16And now my soul fadeth within myself, and the days of affliction possess me.
16ועתה עלי תשתפך נפשי יאחזוני ימי עני׃
17In the night my bone is pierced with sorrows: and they that feed upon me, do not sleep.
17לילה עצמי נקר מעלי וערקי לא ישכבון׃
18With the multitude of them my garment is consumed, and they have girded me about, as with the collar of my coat.
18ברב כח יתחפש לבושי כפי כתנתי יאזרני׃
19I am compared to dirt, and am likened to embers and ashes.
19הרני לחמר ואתמשל כעפר ואפר׃
20I cry to thee, and thou hearest me not: I stand up, and thou dost not regard me.
20אשוע אליך ולא תענני עמדתי ותתבנן בי׃
21Thou art changed to be cruel toward me, and in the hardness of thy hand thou art against me.
21תהפך לאכזר לי בעצם ידך תשטמני׃
22Thou hast lifted me up, and set me as it were upon the wind, and thou hast mightily dashed me.
22תשאני אל רוח תרכיבני ותמגגני תשוה׃
23I know that thou wilt deliver me to death, where a house is appointed for every one that liveth.
23כי ידעתי מות תשיבני ובית מועד לכל חי׃
24But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save.
24אך לא בעי ישלח יד אם בפידו להן שוע׃
25I wept heretofore for him that was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
25אם לא בכיתי לקשה יום עגמה נפשי לאביון׃
26I expected good things, and evils are come upon me: I waited for light, and darkness broke out.
26כי טוב קויתי ויבא רע ואיחלה לאור ויבא אפל׃
27My inner parts have boiled without any rest, the days of affliction have prevented me.
27מעי רתחו ולא דמו קדמני ימי עני׃
28I went mourning without indignation; I rose up, and cried in the crowd.
28קדר הלכתי בלא חמה קמתי בקהל אשוע׃
29I was the brother of dragons, and companion of ostriches.
29אח הייתי לתנים ורע לבנות יענה׃
30My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up with heat.
30עורי שחר מעלי ועצמי חרה מני חרב׃
31My harp is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of those that weep.
31ויהי לאבל כנרי ועגבי לקול בכים׃
