< איוב 27 >
וַיֹּסֶף אִיּוֹב שְׂאֵת מְשָׁלוֹ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ | 1 |
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
חַי־אֵל הֵסִיר מִשְׁפָּטִי וְשַׁדַּי הֵמַר נַפְשִֽׁי׃ | 2 |
[As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;
כִּי־כׇל־עוֹד נִשְׁמָתִי בִי וְרוּחַ אֱלוֹהַּ בְּאַפִּֽי׃ | 3 |
All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
אִם־תְּדַבֵּרְנָה שְׂפָתַי עַוְלָה וּלְשׁוֹנִי אִם־יֶהְגֶּה רְמִיָּֽה׃ | 4 |
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
חָלִילָה לִּי אִם־אַצְדִּיק אֶתְכֶם עַד־אֶגְוָע לֹֽא־אָסִיר תֻּמָּתִי מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 5 |
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
בְּצִדְקָתִי הֶחֱזַקְתִּי וְלֹא אַרְפֶּהָ לֹא־יֶחֱרַף לְבָבִי מִיָּמָֽי׃ | 6 |
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
יְהִי כְרָשָׁע אֹיְבִי וּמִתְקוֹמְמִי כְעַוָּֽל׃ | 7 |
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
כִּי מַה־תִּקְוַת חָנֵף כִּי יִבְצָע כִּי יֵשֶׁל אֱלוֹהַּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ | 8 |
For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
הֲֽצַעֲקָתוֹ יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֵל כִּֽי־תָבוֹא עָלָיו צָרָֽה׃ | 9 |
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
אִם־עַל־שַׁדַּי יִתְעַנָּג יִקְרָא אֱלוֹהַּ בְּכׇל־עֵֽת׃ | 10 |
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
אוֹרֶה אֶתְכֶם בְּיַד־אֵל אֲשֶׁר עִם־שַׁדַּי לֹא אֲכַחֵֽד׃ | 11 |
I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
הֵן־אַתֶּם כֻּלְּכֶם חֲזִיתֶם וְלָמָּה־זֶּה הֶבֶל תֶּהְבָּֽלוּ׃ | 12 |
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it; ] why then are ye thus altogether vain?
זֶה ׀ חֵלֶק־אָדָם רָשָׁע ׀ עִם־אֵל וְֽנַחֲלַת עָרִיצִים מִשַּׁדַּי יִקָּֽחוּ׃ | 13 |
This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
אִם־יִרְבּוּ בָנָיו לְמוֹ־חָרֶב וְצֶאֱצָאָיו לֹא יִשְׂבְּעוּ־לָֽחֶם׃ | 14 |
If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
שְׂרִידָו בַּמָּוֶת יִקָּבֵרוּ וְאַלְמְנֹתָיו לֹא תִבְכֶּֽינָה׃ | 15 |
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
אִם־יִצְבֹּר כֶּעָפָר כָּסֶף וְכַחֹמֶר יָכִין מַלְבּֽוּשׁ׃ | 16 |
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
יָכִין וְצַדִּיק יִלְבָּשׁ וְכֶסֶף נָקִי יַחֲלֹֽק׃ | 17 |
He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
בָּנָה כָעָשׁ בֵּיתוֹ וּכְסֻכָּה עָשָׂה נֹצֵֽר׃ | 18 |
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
עָשִׁיר יִשְׁכַּב וְלֹא יֵאָסֵף עֵינָיו פָּקַח וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃ | 19 |
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
תַּשִּׂיגֵהוּ כַמַּיִם בַּלָּהוֹת לַיְלָה גְּנָבַתּוּ סוּפָֽה׃ | 20 |
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
יִשָּׂאֵהוּ קָדִים וְיֵלַךְ וִישָׂעֲרֵהוּ מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃ | 21 |
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
וְיַשְׁלֵךְ עָלָיו וְלֹא יַחְמֹל מִיָּדוֹ בָּרוֹחַ יִבְרָֽח׃ | 22 |
For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
יִשְׂפֹּק עָלֵימוֹ כַפֵּימוֹ וְיִשְׁרֹק עָלָיו מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃ | 23 |
[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
