1Then Job spoke again:

1וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

2“You people really know everything, don’t you? And when you die, wisdom will die with you!

2אָ֭מְנָם כִּ֣י אַתֶּם־ עָ֑ם וְ֝עִמָּכֶ֗ם תָּמ֥וּת חָכְמָֽה׃

3Well, I know a few things myself— and you’re no better than I am. Who doesn’t know these things you’ve been saying?

3גַּם־ לִ֤י לֵבָ֨ב ׀ כְּֽמוֹכֶ֗ם לֹא־ נֹפֵ֣ל אָנֹכִ֣י מִכֶּ֑ם וְאֶת־ מִי־ אֵ֥ין כְּמוֹ־ אֵֽלֶּה׃

4Yet my friends laugh at me, for I call on God and expect an answer. I am a just and blameless man, yet they laugh at me.

4שְׂחֹ֤ק לְרֵעֵ֨הוּ ׀ אֶֽהְיֶ֗ה קֹרֵ֣א לֶ֭אֱלוֹהַּ וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑הוּ שְׂ֝ח֗וֹק צַדִּ֥יק תָּמִֽים׃

5People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling.

5לַפִּ֣יד בּ֭וּז לְעַשְׁתּ֣וּת שַׁאֲנָ֑ן נָ֝כ֗וֹן לְמ֣וֹעֲדֵי רָֽגֶל׃

6But robbers are left in peace, and those who provoke God live in safety— though God keeps them in his power.

6יִשְׁלָ֤יוּ אֹֽהָלִ֨ים ׀ לְשֹׁ֥דְדִ֗ים וּֽ֭בַטֻּחוֹת לְמַרְגִּ֣יזֵי אֵ֑ל לַאֲשֶׁ֤ר הֵבִ֖יא אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃

7“Just ask the animals, and they will teach you. Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.

7וְֽאוּלָ֗ם שְׁאַל־ נָ֣א בְהֵמ֣וֹת וְתֹרֶ֑ךָּ וְע֥וֹף הַ֝שָּׁמַ֗יִם וְיַגֶּד־ לָֽךְ׃

8Speak to the earth, and it will instruct you. Let the fish in the sea speak to you.

8א֤וֹ שִׂ֣יחַ לָאָ֣רֶץ וְתֹרֶ֑ךָּ וִֽיסַפְּר֥וּ לְ֝ךָ֗ דְּגֵ֣י הַיָּֽם׃

9For they all know that my disaster has come from the hand of the LORD.

9מִ֭י לֹא־ יָדַ֣ע בְּכָל־ אֵ֑לֶּה כִּ֥י יַד־ יְ֝הוָה עָ֣שְׂתָה זֹּֽאת׃

10For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.

10אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּ֭יָדוֹ נֶ֣פֶשׁ כָּל־ חָ֑י וְ֝ר֗וּחַ כָּל־ בְּשַׂר־ אִֽישׁ׃

11The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.

11הֲלֹא־ אֹ֭זֶן מִלִּ֣ין תִּבְחָ֑ן וְ֝חֵ֗ךְ אֹ֣כֶל יִטְעַם־ לֽוֹ׃

12Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old.

12בִּֽישִׁישִׁ֥ים חָכְמָ֑ה וְאֹ֖רֶךְ יָמִ֣ים תְּבוּנָֽה׃

13“But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are his.

13עִ֭מּוֹ חָכְמָ֣ה וּגְבוּרָ֑ה ל֝֗וֹ עֵצָ֥ה וּתְבוּנָֽה׃

14What he destroys cannot be rebuilt. When he puts someone in prison, there is no escape.

14הֵ֣ן יַ֭הֲרוֹס וְלֹ֣א יִבָּנֶ֑ה יִסְגֹּ֥ר עַל־ אִ֝֗ישׁ וְלֹ֣א יִפָּתֵֽחַ׃

15If he holds back the rain, the earth becomes a desert. If he releases the waters, they flood the earth.

15הֵ֤ן יַעְצֹ֣ר בַּמַּ֣יִם וְיִבָ֑שׁוּ וִֽ֝ישַׁלְּחֵ֗ם וְיַ֖הַפְכוּ אָֽרֶץ׃

16Yes, strength and wisdom are his; deceivers and deceived are both in his power.

16עִ֭מּוֹ עֹ֣ז וְתֽוּשִׁיָּ֑ה‪‬ ל֝֗וֹ שֹׁגֵ֥ג וּמַשְׁגֶּֽה׃

17He leads counselors away, stripped of good judgment; wise judges become fools.

17מוֹלִ֣יךְ יוֹעֲצִ֣ים שׁוֹלָ֑ל וְֽשֹׁפְטִ֥ים יְהוֹלֵֽל׃

18He removes the royal robe of kings. They are led away with ropes around their waist.

18מוּסַ֣ר מְלָכִ֣ים פִּתֵּ֑חַ וַיֶּאְסֹ֥ר אֵ֝ז֗וֹר בְּמָתְנֵיהֶֽם׃

19He leads priests away, stripped of status; he overthrows those with long years in power.

19מוֹלִ֣יךְ כֹּהֲנִ֣ים שׁוֹלָ֑ל וְאֵֽתָנִ֣ים יְסַלֵּֽף׃

20He silences the trusted adviser and removes the insight of the elders.

20מֵסִ֣יר שָׂ֭פָה לְנֶאֱמָנִ֑ים וְטַ֖עַם זְקֵנִ֣ים יִקָּֽח׃

21He pours disgrace upon princes and disarms the strong.

21שׁוֹפֵ֣ךְ בּ֭וּז עַל־ נְדִיבִ֑ים וּמְזִ֖יחַ אֲפִיקִ֣ים רִפָּֽה׃

22“He uncovers mysteries hidden in darkness; he brings light to the deepest gloom.

22מְגַלֶּ֣ה עֲ֭מֻקוֹת מִנִּי־ חֹ֑שֶׁךְ וַיֹּצֵ֖א לָא֣וֹר צַלְמָֽוֶת׃

23He builds up nations, and he destroys them. He expands nations, and he abandons them.

23מַשְׂגִּ֣יא לַ֭גּוֹיִם וַֽיְאַבְּדֵ֑ם שֹׁטֵ֥חַ לַ֝גּוֹיִ֗ם וַיַּנְחֵֽם׃

24He strips kings of understanding and leaves them wandering in a pathless wasteland.

24מֵסִ֗יר לֵ֭ב רָאשֵׁ֣י עַם־ הָאָ֑רֶץ וַ֝יַּתְעֵ֗ם בְּתֹ֣הוּ לֹא־ דָֽרֶךְ׃

25They grope in the darkness without a light. He makes them stagger like drunkards.

25יְמַֽשְׁשׁוּ־ חֹ֥שֶׁךְ וְלֹא־ א֑וֹר וַ֝יַּתְעֵ֗ם כַּשִּׁכּֽוֹר׃
