1The LORD continued his response to Job by saying:

1וַיַּ֖עַן יְהוָ֥ה אֶת־ אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

2"Should the one who is fighting the Almighty find fault with him? Let God's accuser answer."

2הֲ֭רֹב עִם־ שַׁדַּ֣י יִסּ֑וֹר מוֹכִ֖יחַ אֱל֣וֹהַּ יַעֲנֶֽנָּה׃ פ

3Then Job replied to the LORD. He said:

3וַיַּ֖עַן אִיּ֥וֹב אֶת־ יְהוָ֗ה וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

4"I must look insignificant to you! How can I answer you? I'm speechless.

4הֵ֣ן קַ֭לֹּתִי מָ֣ה אֲשִׁיבֶ֑ךָּ יָ֝דִ֗י שַׂ֣מְתִּי לְמוֹ־ פִֽי׃

5I spoke once, but I can't answer; I tried a second time, but I won't do so anymore."

5אַחַ֣ת דִּ֭בַּרְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֶֽעֱנֶ֑ה וּ֝שְׁתַּ֗יִם וְלֹ֣א אוֹסִֽיף׃ פ

6The LORD answered Job from the wind storm and told him:

6וַיַּֽעַן־ יְהוָ֣ה אֶת־ אִ֭יּוֹב [מנ‪‬] [סערה] (מִ֥ן ׀) (סְעָרָ֗ה) וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

7"Stand up like a man! I'll ask you some questions, and you give me some answers!

7אֱזָר־ נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר חֲלָצֶ֑יךָ אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃

8Indeed would you annul my justice and condemn me, just so you can claim that you're righteous?

8הַ֭אַף תָּפֵ֣ר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י תַּ֝רְשִׁיעֵ֗נִי לְמַ֣עַן תִּצְדָּֽק׃

9Do you have strength like God? Can you create thunder with a sound like he can?"

9וְאִם־ זְר֖וֹעַ כָּאֵ֥ל ׀ לָ֑ךְ וּ֝בְק֗וֹל כָּמֹ֥הוּ תַרְעֵֽם׃

10"When you have adorned yourself with exalted majesty, clothed yourself with splendor and dignity,

10עֲדֵ֥ה נָ֣א גָֽא֣וֹן‪‬ וָגֹ֑בַהּ וְה֖וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר תִּלְבָּֽשׁ׃

11dispensed the fury of your anger, made sure that you have humbled every proud person,

11הָ֭פֵץ עֶבְר֣וֹת אַפֶּ֑ךָ וּרְאֵ֥ה כָל־ גֵּ֝אֶ֗ה וְהַשְׁפִּילֵֽהוּ׃

12stared down and subdued every proud person, trampled the wicked right where they are,

12רְאֵ֣ה כָל־ גֵּ֭אֶה הַכְנִיעֵ֑הוּ וַהֲדֹ֖ךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם׃

13buried them in the dust together, and sent them bound to that secret place,

13טָמְנֵ֣ם בֶּעָפָ֣ר יָ֑חַד פְּ֝נֵיהֶ֗ם חֲבֹ֣שׁ בַּטָּמֽוּן׃

14then I will applaud you myself! I'll admit that you can deliver yourself by your own efforts!"

14וְגַם־ אֲנִ֥י אוֹדֶ֑ךָּ כִּֽי־ תוֹשִׁ֖עַ לְךָ֣ יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

15"Please observe Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like an ox.

15הִנֵּה־ נָ֣א בְ֭הֵמוֹת אֲשֶׁר־ עָשִׂ֣יתִי עִמָּ֑ךְ חָ֝צִ֗יר כַּבָּקָ֥ר יֹאכֵֽל׃

16Now take a look at the strength that he has in his loins, and in the muscles of his abdomen.

16הִנֵּה־ נָ֣א כֹח֣וֹ בְמָתְנָ֑יו וְ֝אֹנ֗וֹ בִּשְׁרִירֵ֥י בִטְנֽוֹ׃

17His tail protrudes stiffly, like cedar; the sinews of his thigh interlink for strength.

17יַחְפֹּ֣ץ זְנָב֣וֹ כְמוֹ־ אָ֑רֶז גִּידֵ֖י [פחדו] (פַחֲדָ֣יו) יְשֹׂרָֽגוּ׃

18His bones are conduits of bronze; his strong bones are like bars of iron.

18עֲ֭צָמָיו אֲפִיקֵ֣י נְחוּשָׁ֑ה גְּ֝רָמָ֗יו כִּמְטִ֥יל בַּרְזֶֽל׃

19He is the grandest of God's undertakings, yet his creator is approaching him with his sword.

19ה֭וּא רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֵי־ אֵ֑ל הָ֝עֹשׂוֹ יַגֵּ֥שׁ חַרְבּֽוֹ׃

20Mountains produce food for him, where all the wild animals frolic.

20כִּֽי־ ב֭וּל הָרִ֣ים יִשְׂאוּ־ ל֑וֹ וְֽכָל־ חַיַּ֥ת הַ֝שָּׂדֶ֗ה יְשַֽׂחֲקוּ־ שָֽׁם׃

21He lies under the lotus trees, hiding under reeds and marshes.

21תַּֽחַת־ צֶאֱלִ֥ים יִשְׁכָּ֑ב בְּסֵ֖תֶר קָנֶ֣ה וּבִצָּֽה׃

22The lotus trees cover him with their shade, and willows that line the wadis surround him.

22יְסֻכֻּ֣הוּ צֶאֱלִ֣ים צִֽלֲל֑וֹ יְ֝סֻבּ֗וּהוּ עַרְבֵי־ נָֽחַל׃

23What you see as a raging river doesn't alarm him; he is confident when the Jordan overflows.

23הֵ֤ן יַעֲשֹׁ֣ק נָ֭הָר לֹ֣א יַחְפּ֑וֹז יִבְטַ֓ח ׀ כִּֽי־ יָגִ֖יחַ יַרְדֵּ֣ן אֶל־ פִּֽיהוּ׃

24Are your eyes looking to capture him, or to pierce his snout with a bridle?"

24בְּעֵינָ֥יו יִקָּחֶ֑נּוּ בְּ֝מֽוֹקְשִׁ֗ים יִנְקָב־ אָֽף׃
