איוב 26
| ויען איוב ויאמר | 1 |
And Job answers and says:
| מה-עזרת ללא-כח הושעת זרוע לא-עז | 2 |
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
| מה-יעצת ללא חכמה ותשיה לרב הודעת | 3 |
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
| את-מי הגדת מלין ונשמת-מי יצאה ממך | 4 |
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
| הרפאים יחוללו-- מתחת מים ושכניהם | 5 |
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
| ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון (Sheol h7585) | 6 |
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
| נטה צפון על-תהו תלה ארץ על-בלימה | 7 |
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
| צרר-מים בעביו ולא-נבקע ענן תחתם | 8 |
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
| מאחז פני-כסה פרשז עליו עננו | 9 |
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
| חק-חג על-פני-מים-- עד-תכלית אור עם-חשך | 10 |
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
| עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו | 11 |
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
| בכחו רגע הים ובתובנתו (ובתבונתו) מחץ רהב | 12 |
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
| ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש ברח | 13 |
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
| הן-אלה קצות דרכו-- ומה-שמץ דבר נשמע-בו ורעם גבורתו מי יתבונן | 14 |
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
