Job 11
1 Forsothe Sophar Naamathites answeride, and seide,
| וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַֽנַּעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 Whether he, that spekith many thingis, schal not also here? ether whethir a man ful of wordis schal be maad iust?
| הֲרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֵעָנֶה וְאִם־אִישׁ שְׂפָתַיִם יִצְדָּֽק׃ |
3 Schulen men be stille to thee aloone? whanne thou hast scorned othere men, schalt thou not be ouercomun of ony man?
| בַּדֶּיךָ מְתִים יַחֲרִישׁו וַתִּלְעַג וְאֵין מַכְלִֽם׃ |
4 For thou seidist, My word is cleene, and Y am cleene in thi siyt.
| וַתֹּאמֶר זַךְ לִקְחִי וּבַר הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃ |
5 And `Y wolde, that God spak with thee, and openyde hise lippis to thee;
| וְֽאוּלָם מִֽי־יִתֵּן אֱלוֹהַּ דַּבֵּר וְיִפְתַּח שְׂפָתָיו עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
6 to schewe to thee the priuetees of wisdom, and that his lawe is manyfold, and thou schuldist vndurstonde, that thou art requirid of hym to paie myche lesse thingis, than thi wickidnesse disserueth.
| וְיַגֶּד־לְךָ ׀ תַּֽעֲלֻמוֹת חָכְמָה כִּֽי־כִפְלַיִם לְֽתוּשִׁיָּה וְדַע כִּֽי־יַשֶּׁה לְךָ אֱלוֹהַ מֵעֲוֺנֶֽךָ׃ |
7 In hap thou schalt comprehende the steppis of God, and thou schalt fynde Almyyti God `til to perfeccioun.
| הַחֵקֶר אֱלוֹהַ תִּמְצָא אִם עַד־תַּכְלִית שַׁדַּי תִּמְצָֽא׃ |
8 He is hiyere than heuene, and what schalt thou do? he is deppere than helle, and wherof schalt thou knowe? (Sheol h7585)
| גָּבְהֵי שָׁמַיִם מַה־תִּפְעָל עֲמֻקָּה מִשְּׁאוֹל מַה־תֵּדָֽע׃ (Sheol h7585) |
9 His mesure is lengere than erthe, and brodere than the see.
| אֲרֻכָּה מֵאֶרֶץ מִדָּהּ וּרְחָבָה מִנִּי־יָֽם׃ |
10 If he distrieth alle thingis, ethir dryueth streitli `in to oon, who schal ayenseie hym? Ethir who may seie to hym, Whi doest thou so?
| אִם־יַחֲלֹף וְיַסְגִּיר וְיַקְהִיל וּמִי יְשִׁיבֶֽנּוּ׃ |
11 For he knowith the vanyte of men; and whether he seynge byholdith not wickidnesse?
| כִּי־הוּא יָדַע מְתֵי־שָׁוְא וַיַּרְא־אָוֶן וְלֹא יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ |
12 A veyn man is reisid in to pride; and gessith hym silf borun fre, as the colt of a wilde asse.
| וְאִישׁ נָבוּב יִלָּבֵב וְעַיִר פֶּרֶא אָדָם יִוָּלֵֽד׃ |
13 But thou hast maad stidefast thin herte, and hast spred abrood thin hondis to hym.
| אִם־אַתָּה הֲכִינוֹתָ לִבֶּךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ אֵלָיו כַּפֶּֽךָ׃ |
14 If thou doest awei `fro thee the wickidnesse, which is in thin hond, and vnriytfulnesse dwellith not in thi tabernacle,
| אִם־אָוֶן בְּיָדְךָ הַרְחִיקֵהוּ וְאַל־תַּשְׁכֵּן בְּאֹהָלֶיךָ עַוְלָֽה׃ |
15 thanne thou schalt mowe reise thi face with out wem, and thou schalt be stidefast, and thou schalt not drede.
| כִּי־אָז ׀ תִּשָּׂא פָנֶיךָ מִמּוּם וְהָיִיתָ מֻצָק וְלֹא תִירָֽא׃ |
16 And thou schalt foryete wretchidnesse, and thou schalt not thenke of it, as of watris that han passid.
| כִּי־אַתָּה עָמָל תִּשְׁכָּח כְּמַיִם עָבְרוּ תִזְכֹּֽר׃ |
17 And as myddai schynynge it schal reise to thee at euentid; and whanne thou gessist thee wastid, thou schalt rise vp as the dai sterre.
| וּֽמִצָּהֳרַיִם יָקוּם חָלֶד תָּעֻפָה כַּבֹּקֶר תִּהְיֶֽה׃ |
18 And thou schalt haue trist, while hope schal be set forth to thee; and thou biried schalt slepe sikurli.
| וּֽבָטַחְתָּ כִּי־יֵשׁ תִּקְוָה וְחָפַרְתָּ לָבֶטַח תִּשְׁכָּֽב׃ |
19 Thou schalt reste, and `noon schal be that schal make thee aferd; and ful many men schulen biseche thi face.
| וְֽרָבַצְתָּ וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד וְחִלּוּ פָנֶיךָ רַבִּֽים׃ |
20 But the iyen of wickid men schulen faile; and socour schal perische fro hem, and the hope of hem schal be abhominacyioun of soule.
| וְעֵינֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּכְלֶינָה וּמָנוֹס אָבַד מִנְהֶם וְתִקְוָתָם מַֽפַּח־נָֽפֶשׁ׃ |
