1ויען איוב ויאמר׃
1Then Job answered, and said:
2מה עזרת ללא כח הושעת זרוע לא עז׃
2Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3מה יעצת ללא חכמה ותושיה לרב הודעת׃
3To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4את מי הגדת מלין ונשמת מי יצאה ממך׃
4Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5הרפאים יחוללו מתחת מים ושכניהם׃
5Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
6ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון׃
6Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
7נטה צפון על תהו תלה ארץ על בלי מה׃
7He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8צרר מים בעביו ולא נבקע ענן תחתם׃
8He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9מאחז פני כסה פרשז עליו עננו׃
9He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10חק חג על פני מים עד תכלית אור עם חשך׃
10He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו׃
11The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12בכחו רגע הים ובתובנתו מחץ רהב׃
12By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש בריח׃
13His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14הן אלה קצות דרכו ומה שמץ דבר נשמע בו ורעם גבורתו מי יתבונן׃
14Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
