אִיּוֹב 26
| וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ | 1 |
BUT Job answered and said,
| מֶה־עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז׃ | 2 |
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
| מַה־יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְלֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝תוּשִׁיָּ֗ה לָרֹ֥ב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃ | 3 |
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
| אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ | 4 |
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
| הָרְפָאִ֥ים יְחוֹלָ֑לוּ מִתַּ֥חַת מַ֝֗יִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃ | 5 |
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
| עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃ (Sheol h7585) | 6 |
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
| נֹטֶ֣ה צָפ֣וֹן עַל־תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָֽה׃ | 7 |
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
| צֹרֵֽר־מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם׃ | 8 |
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
| מְאַחֵ֥ז פְּנֵי־כִסֵּ֑ה פַּרְשֵׁ֖ז עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ | 9 |
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
| חֹֽק־חָ֭ג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָ֑יִם עַד־תַּכְלִ֖ית א֣וֹר עִם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ | 10 |
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
| עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
| בְּ֭כֹחוֹ רָגַ֣ע הַיָּ֑ם וּ֝בִתְבוּנָת֗וֹ מָ֣חַץ רָֽהַב׃ | 12 |
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
| בְּ֭רוּחוֹ שָׁמַ֣יִם שִׁפְרָ֑ה חֹֽלֲלָ֥ה יָ֝ד֗וֹ נָחָ֥שׁ בָּרִֽיחַ׃ | 13 |
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
| הֶן־אֵ֤לֶּה ׀ קְצ֬וֹת דְּרָכָ֗יו וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בּ֑וֹ וְרַ֥עַם גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יו מִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ ס | 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?
