1 Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:

1 אַף־לְ֭זֹאת יֶחֱרַ֣ד לִבִּ֑י וְ֝יִתַּ֗ר מִמְּקֹומֹֽו׃

2 Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.

2 שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמֹ֣ועַ בְּרֹ֣גֶז קֹלֹ֑ו וְ֝הֶ֗גֶה מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃

3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

3 תַּֽחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אֹורֹ֗ו עַל־כַּנְפֹ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃

4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.

4 אַחֲרָ֤יו׀ יִשְׁאַג־קֹ֗ול יַ֭רְעֵם בְּקֹ֣ול גְּאֹונֹ֑ו וְלֹ֥א יְ֝עַקְּבֵ֗ם כִּֽי־יִשָּׁמַ֥ע קֹולֹֽו׃

5 ùGod thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.

5 יַרְעֵ֤ם אֵ֣ל בְּ֭קֹולֹו נִפְלָאֹ֑ות עֹשֶׂ֥ה גְ֝דֹלֹ֗ות וְלֹ֣א נֵדָֽע׃

6 For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.

6 כִּ֤י לַשֶּׁ֨לַג¹׀ יֹאמַ֗ר הֱוֵ֫א אָ֥רֶץ וְגֶ֥שֶׁם מָטָ֑ר וְ֝גֶ֗שֶׁם מִטְרֹ֥ות עֻזֹּֽו׃

7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

7 בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָ֥ם יַחְתֹּ֑ום לָ֝דַ֗עַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃

8 And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.

8 וַתָּבֹ֣א חַיָּ֣ה בְמֹו־אָ֑רֶב וּבִמְעֹ֖ונֹתֶ֣יהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃

9 From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.

9 מִן־הַ֭חֶדֶר תָּבֹ֣וא סוּפָ֑ה וּֽמִמְּזָרִ֥ים קָרָֽה׃

10 By the breath of ùGod ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

10 מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵ֥ל יִתֶּן־קָ֑רַח וְרֹ֖חַב מַ֣יִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃

11 Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;

11 אַף־בְּ֭רִי יַטְרִ֣יחַ עָ֑ב יָ֝פִ֗יץ עֲנַ֣ן אֹורֹֽו׃

12 And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,

12 וְה֤וּא מְסִבֹּ֨ות׀ מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלָתֹו בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣יו לְפָעֳלָ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצַוֵּ֓ם׀ עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֵבֵ֣ל אָֽרְצָה׃

13 Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.

13 אִם־לְשֵׁ֥בֶט אִם־לְאַרְצֹ֑ו אִם־לְ֝חֶ֗סֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃

14 Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of ùGod.

14 הַאֲזִ֣ינָה זֹּ֣את אִיֹּ֑וב עֲ֝מֹ֗ד וְהִתְבֹּונֵ֤ן׀ נִפְלְאֹ֬ות אֵֽל׃

15 Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?

15 הֲ֭תֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלֹ֣והַּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝הֹופִ֗יעַ אֹ֣ור עֲנָנֹֽו׃

16 Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?

16 הֲ֭תֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָ֑ב מִ֝פְלְאֹ֗ות תְּמִ֣ים דֵּעִֽים׃

17 How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

17 אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶ֥יךָ חַמִּ֑ים בְּהַשְׁקִ֥ט אֶ֝֗רֶץ מִדָּרֹֽום׃

18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?

18 תַּרְקִ֣יעַ עִ֭מֹּו לִשְׁחָקִ֑ים חֲ֝זָקִ֗ים כִּרְאִ֥י מוּצָֽק׃

19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.

19 הֹ֖ודִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּ֣אמַר לֹ֑ו לֹ֥א־נַ֝עֲרֹ֗ךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃

20 Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.

20 הַֽיְסֻפַּר־לֹ֖ו כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אִֽם־אָ֥מַר אִ֝֗ישׁ כִּ֣י יְבֻלָּֽע׃

21 And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.

21 וְעַתָּ֤ה׀ לֹ֘א רָ֤אוּ אֹ֗ור בָּהִ֣יר ה֭וּא³ בַּשְּׁחָקִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ עָ֝בְרָ֗ה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃

22 From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty.

22 מִ֭צָּפֹון זָהָ֣ב יֶֽאֱתֶ֑ה עַל־אֱ֝לֹ֗והַּ נֹ֣ורָא הֹֽוד׃

23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.

23 שַׁדַּ֣י לֹֽא־מְ֭צָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹ֑חַ וּמִשְׁפָּ֥ט וְרֹב־צְ֝דָקָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽה׃

24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

24 לָ֭כֵן יְרֵא֣וּהוּ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים לֹֽא־יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃
