Job 37
1 At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
| אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ |
2 Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
| שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלוֹ וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵֽא׃ |
3 He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
| תַּֽחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאוֹרוֹ עַל־כַּנְפוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
4 After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
| אַחֲרָיו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קוֹל יַרְעֵם בְּקוֹל גְּאוֹנוֹ וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּֽי־יִשָּׁמַע קוֹלֽוֹ׃ |
5 God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
| יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקוֹלוֹ נִפְלָאוֹת עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת וְלֹא נֵדָֽע׃ |
6 For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
| כִּי לַשֶּׁלַג ׀ יֹאמַר הֱוֵא אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרוֹת עֻזּֽוֹ׃ |
7 With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
| בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָם יַחְתּוֹם לָדַעַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ |
8 Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
| וַתָּבֹא חַיָּה בְמוֹ־אָרֶב וּבִמְעוֹנֹתֶיהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃ |
9 The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
| מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבוֹא סוּפָה וּֽמִמְּזָרִים קָרָֽה׃ |
10 At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
| מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃ |
11 He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
| אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אוֹרֽוֹ׃ |
12 And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
| וְהוּא מְסִבּוֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּךְ בתחבולתו בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָיו לְפָעֳלָם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָֽרְצָה׃ |
13 Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
| אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצוֹ אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃ |
14 Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
| הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיּוֹב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבּוֹנֵן ׀ נִפְלְאוֹת אֵֽל׃ |
15 Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
| הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלוֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהוֹפִיעַ אוֹר עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ |
16 Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
| הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאוֹת תְּמִים דֵּעִֽים׃ |
17 Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
| אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֽוֹם׃ |
18 Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
| תַּרְקִיעַ עִמּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָֽק׃ |
19 Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
| הוֹדִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לוֹ לֹא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
20 Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
| הֽ͏ַיְסֻפַּר־לוֹ כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִֽם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּֽע׃ |
21 And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
| וְעַתָּה ׀ לֹא רָאוּ אוֹר בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃ |
22 The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
| מִצָּפוֹן זָהָב יֶֽאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלוֹהַּ נוֹרָא הֽוֹד׃ |
23 It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
| שַׁדַּי לֹֽא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּֽה׃ |
24 Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
| לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
