אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ 1
Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלוֹ וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵֽא׃ 2
Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
תַּֽחַת־כׇּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאוֹרוֹ עַל־כַּנְפוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 3
Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
אַחֲרָיו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קוֹל יַרְעֵם בְּקוֹל גְּאוֹנוֹ וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּֽי־יִשָּׁמַע קוֹלֽוֹ׃ 4
After it roar doth a voice — He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקוֹלוֹ נִפְלָאוֹת עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת וְלֹא נֵדָֽע׃ 5
God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
כִּי לַשֶּׁלֶג ׀ יֹאמַר הֱוֵא ־ אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרוֹת עֻזּֽוֹ׃ 6
For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
בְּיַד־כׇּל־אָדָם יַחְתּוֹם לָדַעַת כׇּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ 7
Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
וַתָּבוֹא חַיָּה בְמוֹ־אָרֶב וּבִמְעוֹנֹתֶיהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃ 8
And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבוֹא סוּפָה וּֽמִמְּזָרִים קָרָֽה׃ 9
From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃ 10
From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אוֹרֽוֹ׃ 11
Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
וְהוּא מְסִבּוֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָו לְפׇעֳלָם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָֽרְצָה׃ 12
And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצוֹ אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃ 13
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיּוֹב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבּוֹנֵן ׀ נִפְלְאוֹת אֵֽל׃ 14
Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלוֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהֹפִיעַ אוֹר עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ 15
Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאוֹת תְּמִים דֵּעִֽים׃ 16
Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֽוֹם׃ 17
How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
תַּרְקִיעַ עִמּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָֽק׃ 18
Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
הוֹדִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לוֹ לֹֽא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ 19
Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
הַֽיְסֻפַּר־לוֹ כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִֽם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּֽע׃ 20
Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
וְעַתָּה ׀ לֹא רָאוּ אוֹר בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃ 21
And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
מִצָּפוֹן זָהָב יֶאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלוֹהַּ נוֹרָא הֽוֹד׃ 22
From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
שַׁדַּי לֹא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּֽה׃ 23
The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה כׇּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃ 24
Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
