Job 27 אִיּוֹב

Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917

¹וַיֹּ֣סֶף אִ֭יּוֹב שְׂאֵ֥ת מְשָׁל֗וֹ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

vayyosef iyyov se'et meshalo vayyomar

And Job again took up his parable, and said:

²חַי־אֵ֭ל הֵסִ֣יר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י הֵמַ֥ר נַפְשִֽׁי׃

chay-el hesir mishpati veshadday hemar nafshi

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; And the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;

³כִּֽי־כָל־ע֣וֹד נִשְׁמָתִ֣י בִ֑י וְר֖וּחַ אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּאַפִּֽי׃

ki-khal-od nishmati vi veruach eloah be'appi

All the while my breath is in me And the spirit of God is in my nostrils,

⁴אִם־תְּדַבֵּ֣רְנָה שְׂפָתַ֣י עַוְלָ֑ה וּ֝לְשׁוֹנִ֗י אִם־יֶהְגֶּ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃

im-tedabberna sefatay avla uleshoni im-yehge remiyya

Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit;

⁵חָלִ֣ילָה לִּי֮ אִם־אַצְדִּ֪יק אֶ֫תְכֶ֥ם עַד־אֶגְוָ֑ע לֹא־אָסִ֖יר תֻּמָּתִ֣י מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

chalila li im-atzdik etkhem ad-egva' lo-asir tummati mimmenni

Far be it from me that I should justify you; Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.

⁶בְּצִדְקָתִ֣י הֶ֭חֱזַקְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֑הָ לֹֽא־יֶחֱרַ֥ף לְ֝בָבִ֗י מִיָּמָֽי׃

betzidkati hechezakti velo arpeha lo-yecheraf levavi miyyamay

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

⁷יְהִ֣י כְ֭רָשָׁע אֹ֣יְבִ֑י וּמִתְקוֹמְמִ֥י כְעַוָּֽל׃

yehi kherasha' oyvi umitkommi khe'avval

Let mine enemy be as the wicked, And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.

⁸כִּ֤י מַה־תִּקְוַ֣ת חָ֭נֵף כִּ֣י יִבְצָ֑ע כִּ֤י יֵ֖שֶׁל אֱל֣וֹהַּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃

ki ma-tikvat chanef ki yivtza' ki yeshel eloah nafsho

For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, When God taketh away his soul?

⁹הַֽ֭צַעֲקָתוֹ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל כִּֽי־תָב֖וֹא עָלָ֣יו צָרָֽה׃

hatza'akato yishma' el ki-tavo alav tzara

Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?

¹⁰אִם־עַל־שַׁדַּ֥י יִתְעַנָּ֑ג יִקְרָ֖א אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּכָל־עֵֽת׃

im-al-shadday yit'annag yikra eloah bekhal-et

Will he have his delight in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?

¹¹אוֹרֶ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֣ם בְּיַד־אֵ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר עִם־שַׁ֝דַּ֗י לֹ֣א אֲכַחֵֽד׃

ore etkhem beyad-el asher im-shadday lo akhached

I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

¹²הֵן־אַתֶּ֣ם כֻּלְּכֶ֣ם חֲזִיתֶ֑ם וְלָמָּה־זֶּ֝֗ה הֶ֣בֶל תֶּהְבָּֽלוּ׃

hen-attem kullekhem chazitem velamma-ze hevel tehbalu

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?

¹³זֶ֤ה ׀ חֵֽלֶק־אָדָ֖ם רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ עִם־אֵ֑ל וְֽנַחֲלַ֥ת עָ֝רִיצִ֗ים מִשַּׁדַּ֥י יִקָּֽחוּ׃

ze chelek-adam rasha' im-el venachalat aritzim mishadday yikkachu

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

¹⁴אִם־יִרְבּ֣וּ בָנָ֣יו לְמוֹ־חָ֑רֶב וְ֝צֶאֱצָאָ֗יו לֹ֣א יִשְׂבְּעוּ־לָֽחֶם׃

im-yirbu vanav lemo-charev vetze'etza'av lo yisbe'u-lachem

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not have bread enough.

¹⁵שרידו [שְׂ֭רִידָיו] בַּמָּ֣וֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ וְ֝אַלְמְנֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִבְכֶּֽינָה׃

seridav bammavet yikkaveru ve'almenotav lo tivkena

Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, And his widows shall make no lamentation.

¹⁶אִם־יִצְבֹּ֣ר כֶּעָפָ֣ר כָּ֑סֶף וְ֝כַחֹ֗מֶר יָכִ֥ין מַלְבּֽוּשׁ׃

im-yitzbor ke'afar kasef vekhachomer yakhin malbush

Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;

¹⁷יָ֭כִין וְצַדִּ֣יק יִלְבָּ֑שׁ וְ֝כֶ֗סֶף נָקִ֥י יַחֲלֹֽק׃

yakhin vetzaddik yilbash vekhesef naki yachalok

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

¹⁸בָּנָ֣ה כָעָ֣שׁ בֵּית֑וֹ וּ֝כְסֻכָּ֗ה עָשָׂ֥ה נֹצֵֽר׃

bana kha'ash beto ukhesukka asa notzer

He buildeth his house as a moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh.

¹⁹עָשִׁ֣יר יִ֭שְׁכַּב וְלֹ֣א יֵאָסֵ֑ף עֵינָ֖יו פָּקַ֣ח וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃

ashir yishkav velo ye'asef enav pakach ve'enennu

He lieth down rich, but there shall be nought to gather; He openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.

²⁰תַּשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ כַ֭מַּיִם בַּלָּה֑וֹת לַ֝֗יְלָה גְּנָבַ֥תּוּ סוּפָֽה׃

tassigehu khammayim ballahot layla genavattu sufa

Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest stealeth him away in the night.

²¹יִשָּׂאֵ֣הוּ קָדִ֣ים וְיֵלַ֑ךְ וִֽ֝ישָׂעֲרֵ֗הוּ מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃

yissa'ehu kadim veyelakh visa'arehu mimmekomo

The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; And it sweepeth him out of his place.

²²וְיַשְׁלֵ֣ךְ עָ֭לָיו וְלֹ֣א יַחְמֹ֑ל מִ֝יָּד֗וֹ בָּר֥וֹחַ יִבְרָֽח׃

veyashlekh alav velo yachmol miyyado baroach yivrach

Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; He would fain flee from its power.

²³יִשְׂפֹּ֣ק עָלֵ֣ימוֹ כַפֵּ֑ימוֹ וְיִשְׁרֹ֥ק עָ֝לָ֗יו מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃

yispok alemo khappemo veyishrok alav mimmekomo

Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.

World Messianic Bible (English numbering)

¹Job again took up his parable, and said,

²“As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter

³(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

⁴surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.

⁵Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

⁶I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.

⁷“Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

⁸For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

⁹Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

¹⁰Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?

¹¹I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.

¹²Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?

¹³“This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

¹⁴If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

¹⁵Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.

¹⁶Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;

¹⁷he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

¹⁸He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.

¹⁹He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

²⁰Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.

²¹The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.

²²For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.

²³Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
