< איוב 26 >
וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ | 1 |
And Job answers and says:
מֶה־עָזַרְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹחַ הוֹשַׁעְתָּ זְרוֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז׃ | 2 |
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
מַה־יָּעַצְתָּ לְלֹא חָכְמָה וְתוּשִׁיָּה לָרֹב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃ | 3 |
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
אֶת־מִי הִגַּדְתָּ מִלִּין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִי יָצְאָה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ | 4 |
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
הָרְפָאִים יְחוֹלָלוּ מִתַּחַת מַיִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃ | 5 |
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
עָרוֹם שְׁאוֹל נֶגְדּוֹ וְאֵין כְּסוּת לָֽאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃ (Sheol ) | 6 |
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
נֹטֶה צָפוֹן עַל־תֹּהוּ תֹּלֶה אֶרֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָֽה׃ | 7 |
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
צֹרֵֽר־מַיִם בְּעָבָיו וְלֹא־נִבְקַע עָנָן תַּחְתָּֽם׃ | 8 |
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
מְאַחֵז פְּנֵי־כִסֵּה פַּרְשֵׁז עָלָיו עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ | 9 |
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
חֹֽק־חָג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָיִם עַד־תַּכְלִית אוֹר עִם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ | 10 |
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
עַמּוּדֵי שָׁמַיִם יְרוֹפָפוּ וְיִתְמְהוּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
בְּכֹחוֹ רָגַע הַיָּם ובתובנתו וּבִתְבוּנָתוֹ מָחַץ רָֽהַב׃ | 12 |
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
בְּרוּחוֹ שָׁמַיִם שִׁפְרָה חֹֽלֲלָה יָדוֹ נָחָשׁ בָּרִֽיחַ׃ | 13 |
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
הֶן־אֵלֶּה ׀ קְצוֹת דרכו דְּרָכָיו וּמַה־שֵּׁמֶץ דָּבָר נִשְׁמַע־בּוֹ וְרַעַם גבורתו גְּבוּרוֹתָיו מִי יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ | 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?”
