Job 23 | Ch- | Bk- | Save as | Bk+ | Ch+ | איוב |
וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר׃ | Job 23:1 Then Job answered and said, |
גַּם־הַיֹּום מְרִי שִׂחִי יָדִי כָּבְדָה עַל־אַנְחָתִי׃ | Job 23:2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. |
מִי־יִתֵּן יָדַעְתִּי וְאֶמְצָאֵהוּ אָבֹוא עַד־תְּכוּנָתֹו׃ | Job 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! |
אֶעֶרְכָה לְפָנָיו מִשְׁפָּט וּפִי אֲמַלֵּא תֹוכָחֹות׃ | Job 23:4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. |
אֵדְעָה מִלִּים יַעֲנֵנִי וְאָבִינָה מַה־יֹּאמַר לִי׃ | Job 23:5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. |
הַבְּרָב־כֹּחַ יָרִיב עִמָּדִי לֹא אַךְ־הוּא יָשִׂם בִּי׃ | Job 23:6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me. |
שָׁם יָשָׁר נֹוכָח עִמֹּו וַאֲפַלְּטָה לָנֶצַח מִשֹּׁפְטִי׃ | Job 23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. |
הֵן קֶדֶם אֶהֱלֹךְ וְאֵינֶנּוּ וְאָחֹור וְלֹא־אָבִין לֹו׃ | Job 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: |
שְׂמֹאול בַּעֲשֹׂתֹו וְלֹא־אָחַז יַעְטֹף יָמִין וְלֹא אֶרְאֶה׃ | 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: |
כִּי־יָדַע דֶּרֶךְ עִמָּדִי בְּחָנַנִי כַּזָּהָב אֵצֵא׃ | Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. |
בַּאֲשֻׁרֹו אָחֲזָה רַגְלִי דַּרְכֹּו שָׁמַרְתִּי וְלֹא־אָט׃ | Job 23:11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. |
מִצְוַת שְׂפָתָיו וְלֹא אָמִישׁ מֵחֻקִּי צָפַנְתִּי אִמְרֵי־פִיו׃ | 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. |
וְהוּא בְאֶחָד וּמִי יְשִׁיבֶנּוּ וְנַפְשֹׁו אִוְּתָה וַיָּעַשׂ׃ | Job 23:13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. |
כִּי יַשְׁלִים חֻקִּי וְכָהֵנָּה רַבֹּות עִמֹּו׃ | Job 23:14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. |
עַל־כֵּן מִפָּנָיו אֶבָּהֵל אֶתְבֹּונֵן וְאֶפְחַד מִמֶּנּוּ׃ | Job 23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. |
וְאֵל הֵרַךְ לִבִּי וְשַׁדַּי הִבְהִילָנִי׃ | Job 23:16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: |
כִּי־לֹא נִצְמַתִּי מִפְּנֵי־חֹשֶׁךְ וּמִפָּנַי כִּסָּה־אֹפֶל׃ | Job 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. |
