1The LORD said to Job:1וַיַּ֖עַן יְהוָ֥ה אֶת־ אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"2הֲ֭רֹב עִם־ שַׁדַּ֣י יִסּ֑וֹר מוֹכִ֖יחַ אֱל֣וֹהַּ יַעֲנֶֽנָּה׃ פ
3Then Job answered the LORD:3וַיַּ֖עַן אִיּ֥וֹב אֶת־ יְהוָ֗ה וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
4"I am unworthy--how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.4הֵ֣ן קַ֭לֹּתִי מָ֣ה אֲשִׁיבֶ֑ךָּ יָ֝דִ֗י שַׂ֣מְתִּי לְמוֹ־ פִֽי׃
5I spoke once, but I have no answer-- twice, but I will say no more."5אַחַ֣ת דִּ֭בַּרְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֶֽעֱנֶ֑ה וּ֝שְׁתַּ֗יִם וְלֹ֣א אוֹסִֽיף׃ פ
6Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:6וַיַּֽעַן־ יְהוָ֣ה אֶת־ אִ֭יּוֹב [מנ‪‬] [סערה] (מִ֥ן ׀) (סְעָרָ֗ה) וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
7"Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.7אֱזָר־ נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר חֲלָצֶ֑יךָ אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃
8"Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?8הַ֭אַף תָּפֵ֣ר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י תַּ֝רְשִׁיעֵ֗נִי לְמַ֣עַן תִּצְדָּֽק׃
9Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his?9וְאִם־ זְר֖וֹעַ כָּאֵ֥ל ׀ לָ֑ךְ וּ֝בְק֗וֹל כָּמֹ֥הוּ תַרְעֵֽם׃
10Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.10עֲדֵ֥ה נָ֣א גָֽא֣וֹן‪‬ וָגֹ֑בַהּ וְה֖וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר תִּלְבָּֽשׁ׃
11Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at all who are proud and bring them low,11הָ֭פֵץ עֶבְר֣וֹת אַפֶּ֑ךָ וּרְאֵ֥ה כָל־ גֵּ֝אֶ֗ה וְהַשְׁפִּילֵֽהוּ׃
12look at all who are proud and humble them, crush the wicked where they stand.12רְאֵ֣ה כָל־ גֵּ֭אֶה הַכְנִיעֵ֑הוּ וַהֲדֹ֖ךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם׃
13Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.13טָמְנֵ֣ם בֶּעָפָ֣ר יָ֑חַד פְּ֝נֵיהֶ֗ם חֲבֹ֣שׁ בַּטָּמֽוּן׃
14Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.14וְגַם־ אֲנִ֥י אוֹדֶ֑ךָּ כִּֽי־ תוֹשִׁ֖עַ לְךָ֣ יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
15"Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.15הִנֵּה־ נָ֣א בְ֭הֵמוֹת אֲשֶׁר־ עָשִׂ֣יתִי עִמָּ֑ךְ חָ֝צִ֗יר כַּבָּקָ֥ר יֹאכֵֽל׃
16What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!16הִנֵּה־ נָ֣א כֹח֣וֹ בְמָתְנָ֑יו וְ֝אֹנ֗וֹ בִּשְׁרִירֵ֥י בִטְנֽוֹ׃
17Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.17יַחְפֹּ֣ץ זְנָב֣וֹ כְמוֹ־ אָ֑רֶז גִּידֵ֖י [פחדו] (פַחֲדָ֣יו) יְשֹׂרָֽגוּ׃
18Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron.18עֲ֭צָמָיו אֲפִיקֵ֣י נְחוּשָׁ֑ה גְּ֝רָמָ֗יו כִּמְטִ֥יל בַּרְזֶֽל׃
19It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.19ה֭וּא רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֵי־ אֵ֑ל הָ֝עֹשׂוֹ יַגֵּ֥שׁ חַרְבּֽוֹ׃
20The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.20כִּֽי־ ב֭וּל הָרִ֣ים יִשְׂאוּ־ ל֑וֹ וְֽכָל־ חַיַּ֥ת הַ֝שָּׂדֶ֗ה יְשַֽׂחֲקוּ־ שָֽׁם׃
21Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.21תַּֽחַת־ צֶאֱלִ֥ים יִשְׁכָּ֑ב בְּסֵ֖תֶר קָנֶ֣ה וּבִצָּֽה׃
22The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it.22יְסֻכֻּ֣הוּ צֶאֱלִ֣ים צִֽלֲל֑וֹ יְ֝סֻבּ֗וּהוּ עַרְבֵי־ נָֽחַל׃
23A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.23הֵ֤ן יַעֲשֹׁ֣ק נָ֭הָר לֹ֣א יַחְפּ֑וֹז יִבְטַ֓ח ׀ כִּֽי־ יָגִ֖יחַ יַרְדֵּ֣ן אֶל־ פִּֽיהוּ׃
24Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?24בְּעֵינָ֥יו יִקָּחֶ֑נּוּ בְּ֝מֽוֹקְשִׁ֗ים יִנְקָב־ אָֽף׃
