Job 37
1 "Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
| אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ |
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
| שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלוֹ וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵֽא׃ |
3 He sends it forth under the whole sky, and his lightning to the farthest parts of the earth.
| תַּֽחַת־כׇּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאוֹרוֹ עַל־כַּנְפוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
4 After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.
| אַחֲרָיו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קוֹל יַרְעֵם בְּקוֹל גְּאוֹנוֹ וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּֽי־יִשָּׁמַע קוֹלֽוֹ׃ |
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.
| יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקוֹלוֹ נִפְלָאוֹת עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת וְלֹא נֵדָֽע׃ |
6 For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
| כִּי לַשֶּׁלֶג ׀ יֹאמַר הֱוֵא ־ אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרוֹת עֻזּֽוֹ׃ |
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
| בְּיַד־כׇּל־אָדָם יַחְתּוֹם לָדַעַת כׇּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ |
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
| וַתָּבוֹא חַיָּה בְמוֹ־אָרֶב וּבִמְעוֹנֹתֶיהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃ |
9 Out of its chamber comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
| מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבוֹא סוּפָה וּֽמִמְּזָרִים קָרָֽה׃ |
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.
| מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃ |
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
| אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אוֹרֽוֹ׃ |
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
| וְהוּא מְסִבּוֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָו לְפׇעֳלָם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָֽרְצָה׃ |
13 Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
| אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצוֹ אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃ |
14 "Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
| הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיּוֹב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבּוֹנֵן ׀ נִפְלְאוֹת אֵֽל׃ |
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
| הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלוֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהֹפִיעַ אוֹר עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ |
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
| הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאוֹת תְּמִים דֵּעִֽים׃ |
17 You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
| אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֽוֹם׃ |
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
| תַּרְקִיעַ עִמּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָֽק׃ |
19 Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
| הוֹדִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לוֹ לֹֽא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
| הַֽיְסֻפַּר־לוֹ כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִֽם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּֽע׃ |
21 Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
| וְעַתָּה ׀ לֹא רָאוּ אוֹר בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃ |
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
| מִצָּפוֹן זָהָב יֶאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלוֹהַּ נוֹרָא הֽוֹד׃ |
23 We can't reach Shaddai. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
| שַׁדַּי לֹא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּֽה׃ |
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
| לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה כׇּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
