Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
| וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
| מֶה־עָזַרְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹחַ הוֹשַׁעְתָּ זְרוֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז׃ |
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
| מַה־יָּעַצְתָּ לְלֹא חׇכְמָה וְתֻשִׁיָּה לָרֹב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃ |
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
| אֶת־מִי הִגַּדְתָּ מִלִּין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִי יָצְאָה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ |
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
| הָרְפָאִים יְחוֹלָלוּ מִתַּחַת מַיִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃ |
| עָרוֹם שְׁאוֹל נֶגְדּוֹ וְאֵין כְּסוּת לָאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃ (Sheol h7585) |
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
| נֹטֶה צָפוֹן עַל־תֹּהוּ תֹּלֶה אֶרֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָֽה׃ |
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
| צֹרֵֽר־מַיִם בְּעָבָיו וְלֹֽא־נִבְקַע עָנָן תַּחְתָּֽם׃ |
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
| מְאַחֵז פְּנֵֽי־כִסֵּה פַּרְשֵׁז עָלָיו עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ |
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
| חֹֽק־חָג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָיִם עַד־תַּכְלִית אוֹר עִם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
| עַמּוּדֵי שָׁמַיִם יְרוֹפָפוּ וְיִתְמְהוּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ׃ |
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
| בְּכֹחוֹ רָגַע הַיָּם (ובתובנתו) [וּבִתְבוּנָתוֹ] מָחַץ רָֽהַב׃ |
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
| בְּרוּחוֹ שָׁמַיִם שִׁפְרָה חֹלְלָה יָדוֹ נָחָשׁ בָּרִֽחַ׃ |
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
| הֶן־אֵלֶּה ׀ קְצוֹת דְּרָכָו וּמַה־שֵּׁמֶץ דָּבָר נִשְׁמַע־בּוֹ וְרַעַם גְּבוּרֹתָו מִי יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ |
