|||
| 2 אָ֭מְנָם [3] Dechi יָדַ֣עְתִּי כִי־כֵ֑ן [2] Etnachta עִם־אֵֽל׃ [1] Silluq |
2 “Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God? [3] |
|||
| 3 אִם־יַ֭חְפֹּץ [3] Dechi לָרִ֣יב עִמּ֑וֹ [2] Etnachta אַחַ֥ת מִנִּי־אָֽלֶף׃ [1] Silluq |

|||
| 4 חֲכַ֣ם לֵ֭בָב [3] Dechi וְאַמִּ֣יץ כֹּ֑חַ [2] Etnachta וַיִּשְׁלָֽם׃ [1] Silluq |
4 God is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him and prospered? [3] |
|||
| 5 הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק הָ֭רִים [3] Dechi וְלֹ֣א יָדָ֑עוּ [2] Etnachta בְּאַפּֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
5 He removes the mountains, and they don’t know it, when he overturns them in his anger. [3] |
|||
| 6 הַמַּרְגִּ֣יז אֶ֭רֶץ [3] Dechi מִמְּקוֹמָ֑הּ [2] Etnachta יִתְפַלָּצֽוּן׃ [1] Silluq |

|||
| 7 הָאֹמֵ֣ר לַ֭חֶרֶס [3] Dechi וְלֹ֣א יִזְרָ֑ח [2] Etnachta יַחְתֹּֽם׃ [1] Silluq |

10 He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number. [3] |
|||
| 11 הֵ֤ן יַעֲבֹ֣ר עָ֭לַי [3] Dechi וְלֹ֣א אֶרְאֶ֑ה [2] Etnachta וְֽלֹא־אָבִ֥ין לֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
11 Behold, he goes by me, and I don’t see him. He passes on also, but I don’t perceive him. [3] |
|||
| 12 הֵ֣ן יַ֭חְתֹּף [3] Dechi מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ [2] Etnachta מַֽה־תַּעֲשֶֽׂה׃ [1] Silluq |
12 Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, ‘What are you doing?’ [3] |
|||
| 13 אֱ֭לוֹהַּ [3] Dechi לֹא־יָשִׁ֣יב אַפּ֑וֹ [2] Etnachta עֹ֣זְרֵי רָֽהַב׃ [1] Silluq |
13 “God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him. [3] |
|||
| 14 אַ֭ף [3] Dechi כִּֽי־אָנֹכִ֣י אֶֽעֱנֶ֑נּוּ [2] Etnachta עִמּֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
14 How much less will I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him? [3] |
|||
| 15 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִם־צָ֭דַקְתִּי [3] Dechi לֹ֣א אֶעֱנֶ֑ה [2] Etnachta אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃ [1] Silluq |
15 Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him. I would make supplication to my judge. [3] |
|||
| 16 אִם־קָרָ֥אתִי וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑נִי [2] Etnachta כִּֽי־יַאֲזִ֥ין קוֹלִֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
16 If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice. [2] |

| 17 אֲשֶׁר־בִּשְׂעָרָ֥ה יְשׁוּפֵ֑נִי [2] Etnachta חִנָּֽם׃ [1] Silluq |
17 For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause. [2] |

18 He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness. [3] |
|||
| 19 אִם־לְכֹ֣חַ אַמִּ֣יץ [3] VDechi הִנֵּ֑ה [2] Etnachta מִ֣י יוֹעִידֵֽנִי׃ [1] Silluq |
19 If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’ [3] |
|||
| 20 אִם־אֶ֭צְדָּק [3] Dechi פִּ֣י יַרְשִׁיעֵ֑נִי [2] Etnachta וַֽיַּעְקְשֵֽׁנִי׃ [1] Silluq |
20 Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse. [3] |
|||
| 21 תָּֽם־אָ֭נִי [3] Dechi לֹֽא־אֵדַ֥ע נַפְשִׁ֗י [3/2] Revi'i אֶמְאַ֥ס חַיָּֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
21 I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life. [3] |
|||
| 22 אַחַ֗ת [3] Revi'i הִ֥יא עַל־כֵּ֥ן אָמַ֑רְתִּי [2] Etnachta ה֣וּא מְכַלֶּֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
22 “It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked. [3] |
|||

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it? [4] |
|||
| 25 וְיָמַ֣י קַ֭לּוּ [3] Dechi מִנִּי־רָ֑ץ [2] Etnachta לֹא־רָא֥וּ טוֹבָֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
25 “Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good. [3] |
|||
| 26 חָ֭לְפוּ [3] Dechi עִם־אֳנִיּ֣וֹת אֵבֶ֑ה [2] Etnachta יָט֥וּשׂ עֲלֵי־אֹֽכֶל׃ [1] Silluq |
26 They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey. [3] |
|||

27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up,’ [3] |
|||
| 28 יָגֹ֥רְתִּי כָל־עַצְּבֹתָ֑י [2] Etnachta כִּי־לֹ֥א תְנַקֵּֽנִי׃ [1] Silluq |
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent. [2] |
|||
| 29 אָנֹכִ֥י אֶרְשָׁ֑ע [2] Etnachta הֶ֣בֶל אִיגָֽע׃ [1] Silluq |
29 I will be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain? [2] |
|||
| 30 אִם־הִתְרָחַ֥צְתִּי *במו־**בְמֵי־שָׁ֑לֶג [2] Etnachta בְּבֹ֣ר כַּפָּֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
30 If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye, [2] |
|||
| 31 אָ֭ז [3] Dechi בַּשַּׁ֣חַת תִּטְבְּלֵ֑נִי [2] Etnachta שַׂלְמוֹתָֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
31 yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes will abhor me. [3] |
|||
| 32 כִּי־לֹא־אִ֣ישׁ כָּמֹ֣נִי [3] VDechi אֶֽעֱנֶ֑נּוּ [2] Etnachta בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ [1] Silluq |
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment. [3] |
|||
| 33 לֹ֣א יֵשׁ־בֵּינֵ֣ינוּ [3] VDechi מוֹכִ֑יחַ [2] Etnachta עַל־שְׁנֵֽינוּ׃ [1] Silluq |
33 There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both. [3] |
|||
| 34 יָסֵ֣ר מֵעָלַ֣י [3] VDechi שִׁבְט֑וֹ [2] Etnachta אַֽל־תְּבַעֲתַֽנִּי׃ [1] Silluq |
34 Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid, [3] |
|||
| 35 אַֽ֭דַבְּרָה [3] Dechi וְלֹ֣א אִירָאֶ֑נּוּ [2] Etnachta עִמָּדִֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
35 then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself. ¶ [3] |
