< איוב 26 >

ויען איוב ויאמר 1
But Job answered and said,
מה-עזרת ללא-כח הושעת זרוע לא-עז 2
How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
מה-יעצת ללא חכמה ותשיה לרב הודעת 3
How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
את-מי הגדת מלין ונשמת-מי יצאה ממך 4
To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
הרפאים יחוללו-- מתחת מים ושכניהם 5
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון (Sheol h7585) 6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
נטה צפון על-תהו תלה ארץ על-בלימה 7
He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
צרר-מים בעביו ולא-נבקע ענן תחתם 8
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
מאחז פני-כסה פרשז עליו עננו 9
He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
חק-חג על-פני-מים-- עד-תכלית אור עם-חשך 10
He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו 11
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
בכחו רגע הים ובתובנתו (ובתבונתו) מחץ רהב 12
He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש ברח 13
By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
הן-אלה קצות דרכו-- ומה-שמץ דבר נשמע-בו ורעם גבורתו מי יתבונן 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?
