| [1]וַיַּ֥עַן אֱלִיה֗וּ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
[1]Elihu spake moreover, and said, |
| [2]הֲ֭זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ צִדְקִ֥י מֵאֵֽל׃ |
[2]Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous than God? |
| [3]כִּֽי־תֹ֭אמַר מַה־יִּסְכָּן־לָ֑ךְ מָֽה־אֹ֝עִ֗יל מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃ |
[3]For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what availeth it me, to purge me from my sin? |
| [4]אֲ֭נִי אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ מִלִּ֑ין וְֽאֶת־רֵעֶ֥יךָ עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
[4]Therefore will I answer thee, and thy companions with thee. |
| [5]הַבֵּ֣ט שָׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וְשׁ֥וּר חָקִ֗ים גָּבְה֥וּ מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ |
[5]Look unto the heaven, and see and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. |
| [6]אִם־חָ֭טָאתָ מַה־תִּפְעָל־בֹּ֑ו וְרַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗יךָ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה־לֹּֽו׃ |
[6]If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sins be many, what doest thou unto him? |
| [7]אִם־צָ֭דַקְתָּ מַה־תִּתֶּן־לֹ֑ו אֹ֥ו מַה־מִיָּדְךָ֥ יִקָּֽח׃ |
[7]If thou be righteous, what givest thou unto him? Or what receiveth he at thine hand? |
| [8]לְאִישׁ־כָּמֹ֥וךָ רִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ וּלְבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ |
[8]Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. |
| [9]מֵ֭רֹב עֲשׁוּקִ֣ים יַזְעִ֑יקוּ יְשַׁוְּע֖וּ מִזְּרֹ֣ועַ רַבִּֽים׃ |
[9]They cause many that are oppressed, to cry, which cry out for the violence of the mighty. |
| [10]וְֽלֹא־אָמַ֗ר אַ֭יֵּה אֱלֹ֣והַּ עֹשָׂ֑י נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִרֹ֣ות בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃ |
[10]But none saith, Where is God that made me, which giveth songs in the night? |
| [11]מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמֹ֣ות אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵעֹ֖וף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃ |
[11]Which teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and giveth us more wisdom than the fowls of the heaven. |
| [12]שָׁ֣ם יִ֭צְעֲקוּ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י גְּאֹ֣ון רָעִֽים׃ |
[12]Then they cry because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not. |
| [13]אַךשְָׁ֭־וְא לֹא־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃ |
[13]Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. |
| [14]אַ֣ף כִּֽי־תֹ֖אמַר לֹ֣א תְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ דִּ֥ין לְ֝פָנָ֗יו וּתְחֹ֥ולֵֽל לֹֽו׃ |
[14]Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet judgment is before him: trust thou in him. |
| [15]וְעַתָּ֗ה כִּי־אַ֭יִן פָּקַ֣ד אַפֹּ֑ו וְלֹֽא־יָדַ֖ע בַּפַּ֣שׁ מְאֹֽד׃ |
[15]But now because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the evil with great extremity, |
| [16]וְ֭אִיֹּוב הֶ֣בֶל יִפְצֶה־פִּ֑יהוּ בִּבְלִי־דַ֝֗עַת מִלִּ֥ין יַכְבִּֽר׃ |
[16]Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge. |
