Job 23 | Ch- | Bk- | Save as | Bk+ | Ch+ | איוב |
ויען איוב ויאמר׃ | Job 23:1 Then Job answered and said, |
גם־היום מרי שחי ידי כבדה על־אנחתי׃ | Job 23:2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. |
מי־יתן ידעתי ואמצאהו אבוא עד־תכונתו׃ | Job 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! |
אערכה לפניו משפט ופי אמלא תוכחות׃ | Job 23:4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. |
אדעה מלים יענני ואבינה מה־יאמר לי׃ | Job 23:5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. |
הברב־כח יריב עמדי לא אך־הוא ישם בי׃ | Job 23:6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me. |
שם ישר נוכח עמו ואפלטה לנצח משפטי׃ | Job 23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. |
הן קדם אהלך ואיננו ואחור ולא־אבין לו׃ | Job 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: |
שמאול בעשתו ולא־אחז יעטף ימין ולא אראה׃ | Job 23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: |
כי־ידע דרך עמדי בחנני כזהב אצא׃ | Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. |
באשרו אחזה רגלי דרכו שמרתי ולא־אט׃ | Job 23:11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. |
מצות שפתיו ולא אמיש מחקי צפנתי אמרי־פיו׃ | Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. |
והוא באחד ומי ישיבנו ונפשו אותה ויעש׃ | Job 23:13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. |
כי ישלים חקי וכהנה רבות עמו׃ | Job 23:14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. |
על־כן מפניו אבהל אתבונן ואפחד ממנו׃ | Job 23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. |
ואל הרך לבי ושדי הבהילני׃ | Job 23:16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: |
כי־לא נצמתי מפני־חשך ומפני כסה־אפל׃ | Job 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. |
