36

1 וַיֹּ֥סֶף אֱלִיה֗וּא וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ Elihu also proceeded, and said:

2 כַּתַּר־לִ֣י זְ֭עֵיר וַאֲחַוֶּ֑ךָּ כִּ֤י ע֖וֹד לֶאֱל֣וֹהַּ מִלִּֽים׃ Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; For there are yet words on God’s behalf.

3 אֶשָּׂ֣א דֵ֭עִי לְמֵרָח֑וֹק וּ֝לְפֹעֲלִ֗י אֶֽתֵּֽן־צֶֽדֶק׃ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

4 כִּֽי־אׇ֭מְנָם לֹא־שֶׁ֣קֶר מִלָּ֑י תְּמִ֖ים דֵּע֣וֹת עִמָּֽךְ׃ For truly my words are not false; One that is upright in mind is with thee.

5 הֶן־אֵ֣ל כַּ֭בִּיר וְלֹ֣א יִמְאָ֑ס כַּ֝בִּ֗יר כֹּ֣חַֽ לֵֽב׃ Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

6 לֹא־יְחַיֶּ֥ה רָשָׁ֑ע וּמִשְׁפַּ֖ט עֲנִיִּ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃ He preserveth not the life of the wicked; But giveth to the poor their right.

7 לֹֽא־יִגְרַ֥ע מִצַּדִּ֗יק עֵ֫ינָ֥יו וְאֶת־מְלָכִ֥ים לַכִּסֵּ֑א וַיֹּשִׁיבֵ֥ם לָ֝נֶ֗צַח וַיִּגְבָּֽהוּ׃ He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; But with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

8 וְאִם־אֲסוּרִ֥ים בַּזִּקִּ֑ים יִ֝לָּכְד֗וּן בְּחַבְלֵי־עֹֽנִי׃ And if they be bound in fetters, And be holden in cords of affliction;

9 וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לָהֶ֣ם פׇּעֳלָ֑ם וּ֝פִשְׁעֵיהֶ֗ם כִּ֣י יִתְגַּבָּֽרוּ׃ Then He declareth unto them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

10 וַיִּ֣גֶל אׇ֭זְנָם לַמּוּסָ֑ר וַ֝יֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־יְשׁוּב֥וּן מֵאָֽוֶן׃ He openeth also their ear to discipline, And commandeth that they return from iniquity.

11 אִֽם־יִשְׁמְע֗וּ וְֽיַ֫עֲבֹ֥דוּ יְכַלּ֣וּ יְמֵיהֶ֣ם בַּטּ֑וֹב וּ֝שְׁנֵיהֶ֗ם בַּנְּעִימִֽים׃ If they hearken and serve Him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

12 וְאִם־לֹ֣א יִ֭שְׁמְעוּ בְּשֶׁ֣לַח יַעֲבֹ֑רוּ וְ֝יִגְוְע֗וּ בִּבְלִי־דָֽעַת׃ But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.

13 וְֽחַנְפֵי־לֵ֭ב יָשִׂ֣ימוּ אָ֑ף לֹ֥א יְ֝שַׁוְּע֗וּ כִּ֣י אֲסָרָֽם׃ But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; They cry not for help when He bindeth them.

14 תָּמֹ֣ת בַּנֹּ֣עַר נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם בַּקְּדֵשִֽׁים׃ Their soul perisheth in youth, And their life as that of the depraved.

15 יְחַלֵּ֣ץ עָנִ֣י בְעׇנְי֑וֹ וְיִ֖גֶל בַּלַּ֣חַץ אׇזְנָֽם׃ He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, And openeth their ear by tribulation.

16 וְאַ֤ף הֲסִֽיתְךָ֨ ׀ מִפִּי־צָ֗ר רַ֭חַב לֹא־מוּצָ֣ק תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ וְנַ֥חַת שֻׁ֝לְחָנְךָ֗ מָ֣לֵא דָֽשֶׁן׃ Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;

17 וְדִין־רָשָׁ֥ע מָלֵ֑אתָ דִּ֖ין וּמִשְׁפָּ֣ט יִתְמֹֽכוּ׃ And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold on them.

18 כִּֽי־חֵ֭מָה פֶּן־יְסִֽיתְךָ֣ בְסָ֑פֶק וְרׇב־כֹּ֝֗פֶר אַל־יַטֶּֽךָּ׃ For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

19 הֲיַעֲרֹ֣ךְ שׁ֭וּעֲךָ לֹ֣א בְצָ֑ר וְ֝כֹ֗ל מַאֲמַצֵּי־כֹֽחַ׃ Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, Or all the forces of thy strength?

20 אַל־תִּשְׁאַ֥ף הַלָּ֑יְלָה לַעֲל֖וֹת עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם׃ Desire not the night, When peoples are cut off in their place.

21 הִ֭שָּׁמֶר אַל־תֵּ֣פֶן אֶל־אָ֑וֶן כִּֽי־עַל־זֶ֝֗ה בָּחַ֥רְתָּ מֵעֹֽנִי׃ Take heed, regard not iniquity; For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

22 הֶן־אֵ֭ל יַשְׂגִּ֣יב בְּכֹח֑וֹ מִ֖י כָמֹ֣הוּ מוֹרֶֽה׃ Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; Who is a teacher like Him?

23 מִֽי־פָקַ֣ד עָלָ֣יו דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּמִי־אָ֝מַ֗ר פָּעַ֥לְתָּ עַוְלָֽה׃ Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: ‘Thou hast wrought unrighteousness’?

24 זְ֭כֹר כִּֽי־תַשְׂגִּ֣יא פׇעֳל֑וֹ אֲשֶׁ֖ר שֹׁרְר֣וּ אֲנָשִֽׁים׃ Remember that thou magnify His work, Whereof men have sung.

25 כׇּל־אָדָ֥ם חָזוּ־ב֑וֹ אֱ֝נ֗וֹשׁ יַבִּ֥יט מֵרָחֽוֹק׃ All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off.

26 הֶן־אֵ֣ל שַׂ֭גִּיא וְלֹ֣א נֵדָ֑ע מִסְפַּ֖ר שָׁנָ֣יו וְלֹא־חֵֽקֶר׃ Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; The number of His years is unsearchable.

27 כִּ֭י יְגָרַ֣ע נִטְפֵי־מָ֑יִם יָזֹ֖קּוּ מָטָ֣ר לְאֵדֽוֹ׃ For He draweth away the drops of water, Which distil rain from His vapour;

28 אֲשֶֽׁר־יִזְּל֥וּ שְׁחָקִ֑ים יִ֝רְעֲפ֗וּ עֲלֵ֤י ׀ אָדָ֬ם רָֽב׃ Which the skies pour down And drop upon the multitudes of men.

29 אַ֣ף אִם־יָ֭בִין מִפְרְשֵׂי־עָ֑ב תְּ֝שֻׁא֗וֹת סֻכָּתֽוֹ׃ Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, The crashings of His pavilion?

30 הֵן־פָּרַ֣שׂ עָלָ֣יו אוֹר֑וֹ וְשׇׁרְשֵׁ֖י הַיָּ֣ם כִּסָּֽה׃ Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; And He covereth the depths of the sea.

31 כִּֽי־בָ֭ם יָדִ֣ין עַמִּ֑ים יִֽתֶּן־אֹ֥כֶל לְמַכְבִּֽיר׃ For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.

32 עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם כִּסָּה־א֑וֹר וַיְצַ֖ו עָלֶ֣יהָ בְמַפְגִּֽיעַ׃ He covereth His hands with the lightning, And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

33 יַגִּ֣יד עָלָ֣יו רֵע֑וֹ מִ֝קְנֶ֗ה אַ֣ף עַל־עוֹלֶֽה׃ The noise thereof telleth concerning it, The cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
