איוב 5
| קְֽרָא־נָא הֲיֵשׁ עוֹנֶךָּ וְאֶל־מִי מִקְּדֹשִׁים תִּפְנֶֽה׃ | 1 |
Call now, if there is any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
| כִּֽי־לֶאֱוִיל יַהֲרׇג־כָּעַשׂ וּפֹתֶה תָּמִית קִנְאָֽה׃ | 2 |
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
| אֲֽנִי־רָאִיתִי אֱוִיל מַשְׁרִישׁ וָאֶקּוֹב נָוֵהוּ פִתְאֹֽם׃ | 3 |
I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
| יִרְחֲקוּ בָנָיו מִיֶּשַׁע וְיִֽדַּכְּאוּ בַשַּׁעַר וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ | 4 |
His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither [is there] any to deliver [them].
| אֲשֶׁר קְצִירוֹ ׀ רָעֵב יֹאכֵל וְאֶֽל־מִצִּנִּים יִקָּחֵהוּ וְשָׁאַף צַמִּים חֵילָֽם׃ | 5 |
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
| כִּי ׀ לֹא־יֵצֵא מֵעָפָר אָוֶן וּמֵאֲדָמָה לֹא־יִצְמַח עָמָֽל׃ | 6 |
Although affliction cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
| כִּֽי־אָדָם לְעָמָל יוּלָּד וּבְנֵי־רֶשֶׁף יַגְבִּיהוּ עֽוּף׃ | 7 |
Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
| אוּלָם אֲנִי אֶדְרֹשׁ אֶל־אֵל וְאֶל־אֱלֹהִים אָשִׂים דִּבְרָתִֽי׃ | 8 |
I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:
| עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת וְאֵין חֵקֶר נִפְלָאוֹת עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃ | 9 |
Who doeth great things and unsearchable; wonderful things without number:
| הַנֹּתֵן מָטָר עַל־פְּנֵי־אָרֶץ וְשֹׁלֵֽחַ מַיִם עַל־פְּנֵי חוּצֽוֹת׃ | 10 |
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
| לָשׂוּם שְׁפָלִים לְמָרוֹם וְקֹדְרִים שָׂגְבוּ יֶֽשַׁע׃ | 11 |
To set on high those that are low: that those who mourn may be exalted to safety.
| מֵפֵר מַחְשְׁבוֹת עֲרוּמִים וְֽלֹא־תַעֲשֶׂנָה יְדֵיהֶם תֻּֽשִׁיָּֽה׃ | 12 |
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform [their] enterprise.
| לֹכֵד חֲכָמִים בְּעׇרְמָם וַעֲצַת נִפְתָּלִים נִמְהָֽרָה׃ | 13 |
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
| יוֹמָם יְפַגְּשׁוּ־חֹשֶׁךְ וְכַלַּיְלָה יְֽמַשְׁשׁוּ בַֽצׇּהֳרָֽיִם׃ | 14 |
They meet with darkness in the day-time, and grope in the noon-day as in the night.
| וַיֹּשַׁע מֵחֶרֶב מִפִּיהֶם וּמִיַּד חָזָק אֶבְיֽוֹן׃ | 15 |
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
| וַתְּהִי לַדַּל תִּקְוָה וְעֹלָתָה קָפְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ | 16 |
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
| הִנֵּה אַשְׁרֵי אֱנוֹשׁ יוֹכִחֶנּוּ אֱלוֹהַּ וּמוּסַר שַׁדַּי אַל־תִּמְאָֽס׃ | 17 |
Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
| כִּי הוּא יַכְאִיב וְיֶחְבָּשׁ יִמְחַץ וְיָדָו תִּרְפֶּֽינָה׃ | 18 |
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
| בְּשֵׁשׁ צָרוֹת יַצִּילֶךָּ וּבְשֶׁבַע ׀ לֹֽא־יִגַּע בְּךָ רָֽע׃ | 19 |
He will deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
| בְּֽרָעָב פָּדְךָ מִמָּוֶת וּבְמִלְחָמָה מִידֵי חָֽרֶב׃ | 20 |
In famine he will redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
| בְּשׁוֹט לָשׁוֹן תֵּחָבֵא וְֽלֹא־תִירָא מִשֹּׁד כִּי יָבֽוֹא׃ | 21 |
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
| לְשֹׁד וּלְכָפָן תִּשְׂחָק וּֽמֵחַיַּת הָאָרֶץ אַל־תִּירָֽא׃ | 22 |
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
| כִּי עִם־אַבְנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה בְרִיתֶךָ וְחַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה הׇשְׁלְמָה־לָּֽךְ׃ | 23 |
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
| וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־שָׁלוֹם אׇהֳלֶךָ וּֽפָקַדְתָּ נָוְךָ וְלֹא תֶחֱטָֽא׃ | 24 |
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle [will be] in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
| וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־רַב זַרְעֶךָ וְצֶאֱצָאֶיךָ כְּעֵשֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 25 |
Thou shalt know also that thy seed [will be] great, and thy offspring as the grass of the earth.
| תָּבוֹא בְכֶלַח אֱלֵי־קָבֶר כַּעֲלוֹת גָּדִישׁ בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ | 26 |
Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, as a shock of corn cometh in in its season.
| הִנֵּה־זֹאת חֲקַרְנוּהָ כֶּֽן־הִיא שְׁמָעֶנָּה וְאַתָּה דַֽע־לָֽךְ׃ | 27 |
Lo this, we have searched it, so it [is]; hear it, and know thou [it] for thy good.
