Job 37
1 At this also my heart is troubled, and moved out of its place.
| אף-לזאת יחרד לבי ויתר ממקומו |
2 Hear thou a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath, and a discourse shall come out of his mouth.
| שמעו שמוע ברגז קלו והגה מפיו יצא |
3 His dominion is under the whole heaven, and his light is at the extremities of the earth.
| תחת-כל-השמים ישרהו ואורו על-כנפות הארץ |
4 After him shall be a cry with a [loud] voice; he shall thunder with the voice of his excellency, yet he shall not cause men to pass away, for one shall hear his voice.
| אחריו ישאג-קול-- ירעם בקול גאונו ולא יעקבם כי-ישמע קולו |
5 The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with his voice: for he has done great things which we knew not;
| ירעם אל בקולו נפלאות עשה גדלות ולא נדע |
6 commanding the snow, Be thou upon the earth, and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of his might.
| כי לשלג יאמר-- הוא-ארץ וגשם מטר וגשם מטרות עזו |
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that every man may know his own weakness.
| ביד-כל-אדם יחתום-- לדעת כל-אנשי מעשהו |
8 And the wild beasts come in under the covert, and rest in [their] lair.
| ותבוא חיה במו-ארב ובמעונתיה תשכן |
9 Troubles come on out of the secret chambers, and cold from the mountain-tops.
| מן-החדר תבוא סופה וממזרים קרה |
10 And from the breath of the Mighty One he will send frost; and he guides the water in whatever way he pleases.
| מנשמת-אל יתן-קרח ורחב מים במוצק |
11 And [if] a cloud obscures [what is] precious [to him], his light will disperse the cloud.
| אף-ברי יטריח עב יפיץ ענן אורו |
12 And he will carry round the encircling [clouds] by his governance, to [perform] their works: whatsoever he shall command them,
| והוא מסבות מתהפך בתחבולתו לפעלם כל אשר יצום על-פני תבל ארצה |
13 this has been appointed by him on the earth, whether for correction, [or] for his land, or if he shall find him [an object] for mercy.
| אם-לשבט אם-לארצו-- אם-לחסד ימצאהו |
14 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord.
| האזינה זאת איוב עמד והתבונן נפלאות אל |
15 We know that god has disposed his works, having made light out of darkness.
| התדע בשום-אלוה עליהם והפיע אור עננו |
16 And he knows the divisions of the clouds, and the signal overthrows of the ungodly.
| התדע על-מפלשי-עב מפלאות תמים דעים |
17 But thy robe is warm, and there is quiet upon the land.
| אשר-בגדיך חמים-- בהשקט ארץ מדרום |
18 Wilt thou establish with him [foundations] for the ancient [heavens? they are] strong as a molten mirror.
| תרקיע עמו לשחקים חזקים כראי מוצק |
19 Wherefore teach me, what shall we say to him? and let us cease from saying much.
| הודיענו מה-נאמר לו לא-נערך מפני-חשך |
20 Have I a book or a scribe my me, that I may stand and put man to silence?
| היספר-לו כי אדבר אם-אמר איש כי יבלע |
21 But the light is not visible to all: it shines afar off in the heavens, as that which is from him in the clouds.
| ועתה לא ראו אור-- בהיר הוא בשחקים ורוח עברה ותטהרם |
22 From the [north] come the clouds shining like gold: in these great are the glory and honour of the Almighty;
| מצפון זהב יאתה על-אלוה נורא הוד |
23 and we do not find another his equal in strength: [as for] him that judges justly, dost thou not think that he listens?
| שדי לא-מצאנהו שגיא-כח ומשפט ורב-צדקה לא יענה |
24 Wherefore men shall fear him; and the wise also in heart shall fear him.
| לכן יראוהו אנשים לא-יראה כל-חכמי-לב |
