Job 5
1 Call nowe, if any will answere thee, and to which of the Saintes wilt thou turne?
| קְֽרָא־נָא הֲיֵשׁ עוֹנֶךָּ וְאֶל־מִי מִקְּדֹשִׁים תִּפְנֶֽה׃ |
2 Doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish, and enuie slayeth the idiote.
| כִּֽי־לֶֽאֱוִיל יַהֲרָג־כָּעַשׂ וּפֹתֶה תָּמִית קִנְאָֽה׃ |
3 I haue seene the foolish well rooted, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, saying,
| אֲֽנִי־רָאִיתִי אֱוִיל מַשְׁרִישׁ וָאֶקּוֹב נָוֵהוּ פִתְאֹֽם׃ |
4 His children shalbe farre from saluation, and they shall be destroyed in the gate, and none shall deliuer them.
| יִרְחֲקוּ בָנָיו מִיֶּשַׁע וְיִֽדַּכְּאוּ בַשַּׁעַר וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ |
5 The hungrie shall eate vp his haruest: yea, they shall take it from among the thornes, and the thirstie shall drinke vp their substance.
| אֲשֶׁר קְצִירוֹ ׀ רָעֵב יֹאכֵל וְאֶֽל־מִצִּנִּים יִקָּחֵהוּ וְשָׁאַף צַמִּים חֵילָֽם׃ |
6 For miserie commeth not foorth of the dust, neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.
| כִּי ׀ לֹא־יֵצֵא מֵעָפָר אָוֶן וּמֵאֲדָמָה לֹא־יִצְמַח עָמָֽל׃ |
7 But man is borne vnto trauaile, as the sparkes flie vpwarde.
| כִּֽי־אָדָם לְעָמָל יוּלָּד וּבְנֵי־רֶשֶׁף יַגְבִּיהוּ עֽוּף׃ |
8 But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:
| אוּלָם אֲנִי אֶדְרֹשׁ אֶל־אֵל וְאֶל־אֱלֹהִים אָשִׂים דִּבְרָתִֽי׃ |
9 Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.
| עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת וְאֵין חֵקֶר נִפְלָאוֹת עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃ |
10 He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,
| הַנֹּתֵן מָטָר עַל־פְּנֵי־אָרֶץ וְשֹׁלֵֽחַ מַיִם עַל־פְּנֵי חוּצֽוֹת׃ |
11 And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.
| לָשׂוּם שְׁפָלִים לְמָרוֹם וְקֹדְרִים שָׂגְבוּ יֶֽשַׁע׃ |
12 He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.
| מֵפֵר מַחְשְׁבוֹת עֲרוּמִים וְֽלֹא־תַעֲשֶׂינָה יְדֵיהֶם תּוּשִׁיָּֽה׃ |
13 He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.
| לֹכֵד חֲכָמִים בְּעָרְמָם וַעֲצַת נִפְתָּלִים נִמְהָֽרָה׃ |
14 They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.
| יוֹמָם יְפַגְּשׁוּ־חֹשֶׁךְ וְכַלַּיְלָה יְֽמַשְׁשׁוּ בַֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃ |
15 But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,
| וַיֹּשַׁע מֵחֶרֶב מִפִּיהֶם וּמִיַּד חָזָק אֶבְיֽוֹן׃ |
16 So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
| וַתְּהִי לַדַּל תִּקְוָה וְעֹלָתָה קָפְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ |
17 Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.
| הִנֵּה אַשְׁרֵי אֱנוֹשׁ יוֹכִחֶנּֽוּ אֱלוֹהַּ וּמוּסַר שַׁדַּי אַל־תִּמְאָֽס׃ |
18 For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it vp: he smiteth, and his handes make whole.
| כִּי הוּא יַכְאִיב וְיֶחְבָּשׁ יִמְחַץ וידו וְיָדָיו תִּרְפֶּֽינָה׃ |
19 He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, and in the seuenth the euill shall not touch thee.
| בְּשֵׁשׁ צָרוֹת יַצִּילֶךָּ וּבְשֶׁבַע ׀ לֹא־יִגַּע בְּךָ רָֽע׃ |
20 In famine he shall deliuer thee from death: and in battel from the power of the sworde.
| בְּרָעָב פָּֽדְךָ מִמָּוֶת וּבְמִלְחָמָה מִידֵי חָֽרֶב׃ |
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth.
| בְּשׁוֹט לָשׁוֹן תֵּחָבֵא וְֽלֹא־תִירָא מִשֹּׁד כִּי יָבֽוֹא׃ |
22 But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.
| לְשֹׁד וּלְכָפָן תִּשְׂחָק וּֽמֵחַיַּת הָאָרֶץ אַל־תִּירָֽא׃ |
23 For the stones of the fielde shall be in league with thee, and the beastes of the field shall be at peace with thee.
| כִּי עִם־אַבְנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה בְרִיתֶךָ וְחַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה הָשְׁלְמָה־לָֽךְ׃ |
24 And thou shalt knowe, that peace shall be in thy tabernacle, and thou shalt visite thine habitation, and shalt not sinne.
| וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּי־שָׁלוֹם אָהֳלֶךָ וּֽפָקַדְתָּ נָוְךָ וְלֹא תֶחֱטָֽא׃ |
25 Thou shalt perceiue also, that thy seede shalbe great, and thy posteritie as the grasse of the earth.
| וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּי־רַב זַרְעֶךָ וְצֶאֱצָאֶיךָ כְּעֵשֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
26 Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.
| תָּבוֹא בְכֶלַח אֱלֵי־קָבֶר כַּעֲלוֹת גָּדִישׁ בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ |
27 Lo, thus haue we inquired of it, and so it is: heare this and knowe it for thy selfe.
| הִנֵּה־זֹאת חֲקַרְנוּהָ כֶּֽן־הִיא שְׁמָעֶנָּה וְאַתָּה דַֽע־לָֽךְ׃ |
