1ויען יהוה את איוב ויאמר׃
1And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:
2הרב עם שדי יסור מוכיח אלוה יעננה׃
2Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
3ויען איוב את יהוה ויאמר׃
3Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?
4הן קלתי מה אשיבך ידי שמתי למו פי׃
4And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
5אחת דברתי ולא אענה ושתים ולא אוסיף׃
5Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.
6ויען יהוה את איוב מן סערה ויאמר׃
6Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.
7אזר נא כגבר חלציך אשאלך והודיעני׃
7Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.
8האף תפר משפטי תרשיעני למען תצדק׃
8Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.
9ואם זרוע כאל לך ובקול כמהו תרעם׃
9Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.
10עדה נא גאון וגבה והוד והדר תלבש׃
10Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.
11הפץ עברות אפך וראה כל גאה והשפילהו׃
11His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.
12ראה כל גאה הכניעהו והדך רשעים תחתם׃
12He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.
13טמנם בעפר יחד פניהם חבש בטמון׃
13His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.
14וגם אני אודך כי תושע לך ימינך׃
14He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.
15הנה נא בהמות אשר עשיתי עמך חציר כבקר יאכל׃
15To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.
16הנה נא כחו במתניו ואנו בשרירי בטנו׃
16He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.
17יחפץ זנבו כמו ארז גידי פחדו ישרגו׃
17The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.
18עצמיו אפיקי נחושה גרמיו כמטיל ברזל׃
18Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.
19הוא ראשית דרכי אל העשו יגש חרבו׃
19In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.
20כי בול הרים ישאו לו וכל חית השדה ישחקו שם׃
20Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?
21תחת צאלים ישכב בסתר קנה ובצה׃
21Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?
22יסכהו צאלים צללו יסבוהו ערבי נחל׃
22Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?
23הן יעשק נהר לא יחפוז יבטח כי יגיח ירדן אל פיהו׃
23Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?
24בעיניו יקחנו במוקשים ינקב אף׃
24Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?
