Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
| וַיַּ֥עַן אִיֹּ֗וב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
| מֶה־עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹ֑חַ הֹ֝ושַׁ֗עְתָּ זְרֹ֣ועַ לֹא־עֹֽז׃ |
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou abundantly declared the thing as it is?
| מַה־יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְלֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝תוּשִׁיָּ֗ה לָרֹ֥ב הֹודָֽעְתָּ׃ |
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
| אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ |
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and its inhabitants.
| הָרְפָאִ֥ים יְחֹולָ֑לוּ מִתַּ֥חַת מַ֝֗יִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃ |
| עָרֹ֣ום שְׁאֹ֣ול נֶגְדֹּ֑ו וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽאֲבַדֹּֽון׃ (Sheol h7585) |
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
| נֹטֶ֣ה צָפֹ֣ון עַל־תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָֽה׃ |
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not torn under them.
| צֹרֵֽר־מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם׃ |
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
| מְאַחֵ֥ז פְּנֵי־כִסֵּ֑ה פַּרְשֵׁ֖ז עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנֹֽו׃ |
10 He hath surrounded the waters with a border, until the day and night come to an end.
| חֹֽק־חָ֭ג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָ֑יִם עַד־תַּכְלִ֖ית אֹ֣ור עִם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
| עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרֹופָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֹֽו׃ |
12 He divideth the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
| בְּ֭כֹחֹו רָגַ֣ע הַיָּ֑ם וּבִתוּבְנָתֹו (וּ֝בִתְבוּנָתֹ֗ו) מָ֣חַץ רָֽהַב׃ |
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
| בְּ֭רוּחֹו שָׁמַ֣יִם שִׁפְרָ֑ה חֹֽלֲלָ֥ה יָ֝דֹ֗ו נָחָ֥שׁ בָּרִֽיחַ׃ |
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־אֵ֤לֶּה ׀ קְצֹ֬ות דַּרְכֹּו (דְּרָכָ֗יו) וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בֹּ֑ו וְרַ֥עַם גְּבוּרָתֹו (גְּ֝בוּרֹותָ֗יו) מִ֣י יִתְבֹּונָֽן׃ ס |
