Job 23
1 And he answered Job and he said.
| ויען איוב ויאמר׃ |
2 Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
| גם היום מרי שחי ידי כבדה על אנחתי׃ |
3 Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
| מי יתן ידעתי ואמצאהו אבוא עד תכונתו׃ |
4 Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
| אערכה לפניו משפט ופי אמלא תוכחות׃ |
5 I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.
| אדעה מלים יענני ואבינה מה יאמר לי׃ |
6 ¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
| הברב כח יריב עמדי לא אך הוא ישם בי׃ |
7 There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
| שם ישר נוכח עמו ואפלטה לנצח משפטי׃ |
8 Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
| הן קדם אהלך ואיננו ואחור ולא אבין לו׃ |
9 [the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
| שמאול בעשתו ולא אחז יעטף ימין ולא אראה׃ |
10 That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
| כי ידע דרך עמדי בחנני כזהב אצא׃ |
11 On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
| באשרו אחזה רגלי דרכו שמרתי ולא אט׃ |
12 [the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
| מצות שפתיו ולא אמיש מחקי צפנתי אמרי פיו׃ |
13 And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
| והוא באחד ומי ישיבנו ונפשו אותה ויעש׃ |
14 For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
| כי ישלים חקי וכהנה רבות עמו׃ |
15 There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
| על כן מפניו אבהל אתבונן ואפחד ממנו׃ |
16 And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
| ואל הרך לבי ושדי הבהילני׃ |
17 For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
| כי לא נצמתי מפני חשך ומפני כסה אפל׃ |
