Job 27
1 Moreouer Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
| וַיֹּ֣סֶף אִ֭יּוֹב שְׂאֵ֥ת מְשָׁל֗וֹ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 The liuing God hath taken away my iudgement: for the Almightie hath put my soule in bitternesse.
| חַי־אֵ֭ל הֵסִ֣יר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י הֵמַ֥ר נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
3 Yet so long as my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God in my nostrels,
| כִּֽי־כָל־ע֣וֹד נִשְׁמָתִ֣י בִ֑י וְר֖וּחַ אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּאַפִּֽי׃ |
4 My lips surely shall speake no wickednesse, and my tongue shall vtter no deceite.
| אִם־תְּדַבֵּ֣רְנָה שְׂפָתַ֣י עַוְלָ֑ה וּ֝לְשׁוֹנִ֗י אִם־יֶהְגֶּ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃ |
5 God forbid, that I should iustifie you: vntill I dye, I will neuer take away mine innocencie from my selfe.
| חָלִ֣ילָה לִּי֮ אִם־אַצְדִּ֪יק אֶ֫תְכֶ֥ם עַד־אֶגְוָ֑ע לֹא־אָסִ֖יר תֻּמָּתִ֣י מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
6 I will keepe my righteousnesse, and wil not forsake it: mine heart shall not reprooue me of my dayes.
| בְּצִדְקָתִ֣י הֶ֭חֱזַקְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֑הָ לֹֽא־יֶחֱרַ֥ף לְ֝בָבִ֗י מִיָּמָֽי׃ |
7 Mine enemie shall be as the wicked, and he that riseth against me, as the vnrighteous.
| יְהִ֣י כְ֭רָשָׁע אֹ֣יְבִ֑י וּמִתְקוֹמְמִ֥י כְעַוָּֽל׃ |
8 For what hope hath the hypocrite when he hath heaped vp riches, if God take away his soule?
| כִּ֤י מַה־תִּקְוַ֣ת חָ֭נֵף כִּ֣י יִבְצָ֑ע כִּ֤י יֵ֖שֶׁל אֱל֣וֹהַּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
9 Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?
| הַֽ֭צַעֲקָתוֹ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל כִּֽי־תָב֖וֹא עָלָ֣יו צָרָֽה׃ |
10 Will he set his delight on the Almightie? will he call vpon God at all times?
| אִם־עַל־שַׁדַּ֥י יִתְעַנָּ֑ג יִקְרָ֖א אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּכָל־עֵֽת׃ |
11 I will teache you what is in the hande of God, and I wil not conceale that which is with the Almightie.
| אוֹרֶ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֣ם בְּיַד־אֵ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר עִם־שַׁ֝דַּ֗י לֹ֣א אֲכַחֵֽד׃ |
12 Beholde, all ye your selues haue seene it: why then doe you thus vanish in vanitie?
| הֵן־אַתֶּ֣ם כֻּלְּכֶ֣ם חֲזִיתֶ֑ם וְלָמָּה־זֶּ֝֗ה הֶ֣בֶל תֶּהְבָּֽלוּ׃ |
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of tyrants, which they shall receiue of the Almightie.
| זֶ֤ה ׀ חֵֽלֶק־אָדָ֖ם רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ עִם־אֵ֑ל וְֽנַחֲלַ֥ת עָ֝רִיצִ֗ים מִשַּׁדַּ֥י יִקָּֽחוּ׃ |
14 If his children be in great nomber, the sworde shall destroy them, and his posteritie shall not be satisfied with bread.
| אִם־יִרְבּ֣וּ בָנָ֣יו לְמוֹ־חָ֑רֶב וְ֝צֶאֱצָאָ֗יו לֹ֣א יִשְׂבְּעוּ־לָֽחֶם׃ |
15 His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.
| שרידו בַּמָּ֣וֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ וְ֝אַלְמְנֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִבְכֶּֽינָה׃ |
16 Though he shoulde heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay,
| אִם־יִצְבֹּ֣ר כֶּעָפָ֣ר כָּ֑סֶף וְ֝כַחֹ֗מֶר יָכִ֥ין מַלְבּֽוּשׁ׃ |
17 He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall deuide the siluer.
| יָ֭כִין וְצַדִּ֣יק יִלְבָּ֑שׁ וְ֝כֶ֗סֶף נָקִ֥י יַחֲלֹֽק׃ |
18 He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.
| בָּנָ֣ה כָעָ֣שׁ בֵּית֑וֹ וּ֝כְסֻכָּ֗ה עָשָׂ֥ה נֹצֵֽר׃ |
19 When the rich man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.
| עָשִׁ֣יר יִ֭שְׁכַּב וְלֹ֣א יֵאָסֵ֑ף עֵינָ֖יו פָּקַ֣ח וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃ |
20 Terrours shall take him as waters, and a tempest shall cary him away by night.
| תַּשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ כַ֭מַּיִם בַּלָּה֑וֹת לַ֝֗יְלָה גְּנָבַ֥תּוּ סוּפָֽה׃ |
21 The East winde shall take him away, and he shall depart: and it shall hurle him out of his place.
| יִשָּׂאֵ֣הוּ קָדִ֣ים וְיֵלַ֑ךְ וִֽ֝ישָׂעֲרֵ֗הוּ מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃ |
22 And God shall cast vpon him and not spare, though he would faine flee out of his hand.
| וְיַשְׁלֵ֣ךְ עָ֭לָיו וְלֹ֣א יַחְמֹ֑ל מִ֝יָּד֗וֹ בָּר֥וֹחַ יִבְרָֽח׃ |
23 Euery man shall clap their hands at him, and hisse at him out of their place.
| יִשְׂפֹּ֣ק עָלֵ֣ימוֹ כַפֵּ֑ימוֹ וְיִשְׁרֹ֥ק עָ֝לָ֗יו מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃ |
