Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
| ויען איוב ויאמר |
2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
| מה-עזרת ללא-כח הושעת זרוע לא-עז |
3 How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
| מה-יעצת ללא חכמה ותשיה לרב הודעת |
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
| את-מי הגדת מלין ונשמת-מי יצאה ממך |
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
| הרפאים יחוללו-- מתחת מים ושכניהם |
| ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון (Sheol h7585) |
7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
| נטה צפון על-תהו תלה ארץ על-בלימה |
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
| צרר-מים בעביו ולא-נבקע ענן תחתם |
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
| מאחז פני-כסה פרשז עליו עננו |
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
| חק-חג על-פני-מים-- עד-תכלית אור עם-חשך |
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
| עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו |
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
| בכחו רגע הים ובתובנתו (ובתבונתו) מחץ רהב |
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
| ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש ברח |
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?
| הן-אלה קצות דרכו-- ומה-שמץ דבר נשמע-בו ורעם גבורתו מי יתבונן |
