The Book of Job, Chapter 11איוב 11

וַ֭יַּעַן צֹפַ֥ר הַֽנַּעֲמָתִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

הֲרֹ֣ב דְּ֭בָרִים לֹ֣א יֵעָנֶ֑ה וְאִם אִ֖ישׁ שְׂפָתַ֣יִם יִצְדָּֽק

Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?

בַּ֭דֶּיךָ מְתִ֣ים יַחֲרִ֑ישׁו וַ֝תִּלְעַ֗ג וְאֵ֣ין מַכְלִֽם

Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mockest, shall no man make you ashamed?

וַ֭תֹּאמֶר זַ֣ךְ לִקְחִ֑י וּ֝בַ֗ר הָיִ֥יתִי בְעֵינֶֽיךָ

For you have said, My doctrine pure, and I am clean in your eyes.

וְֽאוּלָ֗ם מִֽי יִתֵּ֣ן אֱל֣וֹהַּ דַּבֵּ֑ר וְיִפְתַּ֖ח שְׂפָתָ֣יו עִמָּֽךְ

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you;

וְיַגֶּד לְךָ֨ תַּֽעֲלֻמ֣וֹת חָכְמָה֮ כִּֽי כִפְלַ֪יִם לְֽת֫וּשִׁיָּ֥ה וְדַ֡ע כִּֽי יַשֶּׁ֥ה לְךָ֥ אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵעֲוֺנֶֽךָ

And that he would shew you the secrets of wisdom, that double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of you than your iniquity .

הַחֵ֣קֶר אֱל֣וֹהַ תִּמְצָ֑א אִ֤ם עַד תַּכְלִ֖ית שַׁדַּ֣י תִּמְצָֽא

Canst you by searching find out God? canst you find out the Almighty to perfection?

גָּבְהֵ֣י שָׁ֭מַיִם מַה תִּפְעָ֑ל עֲמֻקָּ֥ה מִ֝שְּׁא֗וֹל מַה תֵּדָֽע

as high as heaven; what canst you do? deeper than hell; what canst you know?

אֲרֻכָּ֣ה מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִדָּ֑הּ וּ֝רְחָבָ֗ה מִנִּי יָֽם

The measure thereof longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

אִם יַחֲלֹ֥ף וְיַסְגִּ֑יר וְ֝יַקְהִ֗יל וּמִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶֽנּוּ

If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

כִּי ה֭וּא יָדַ֣ע מְתֵי שָׁ֑וְא וַיַּרְא אָ֝֗וֶן וְלֹ֣א יִתְבּוֹנָֽן

For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider ?

וְאִ֣ישׁ נָ֭בוּב יִלָּבֵ֑ב וְעַ֥יִר פֶּ֝֗רֶא אָדָ֥ם יִוָּלֵֽד

For vain man would be wise, though man be born a wild ass's colt.

אִם אַ֭תָּ֗ה הֲכִינ֣וֹתָ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ֖ אֵלָ֣יו כַּפֶּֽךָ

If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him;

אִם אָ֣וֶן בְּ֭יָדְךָ הַרְחִיקֵ֑הוּ וְאַל תַּשְׁכֵּ֖ן בְּאֹהָלֶ֣יךָ עַוְלָֽה

If iniquity in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.

כִּי אָ֤ז תִּשָּׂ֣א פָנֶ֣יךָ מִמּ֑וּם וְהָיִ֥יתָ מֻ֝צָ֗ק וְלֹ֣א תִירָֽא

For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yea, you shall be stedfast, and shall not fear:

כִּי אַ֭תָּה עָמָ֣ל תִּשְׁכָּ֑ח כְּמַ֖יִם עָבְר֣וּ תִזְכֹּֽר

Because you shall forget misery, remember as waters pass away:

וּֽ֭מִצָּהֳרַיִם יָק֣וּם חָ֑לֶד תָּ֝עֻ֗פָה כַּבֹּ֥קֶר תִּהְיֶֽה

And age shall be clearer than the noonday; you shall shine forth, you shall be as the morning.

וּֽ֭בָטַחְתָּ כִּי יֵ֣שׁ תִּקְוָ֑ה וְ֝חָפַרְתָּ֗ לָבֶ֥טַח תִּשְׁכָּֽב

And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yea, you shall dig you shall take your rest in safety.

וְֽ֭רָבַצְתָּ וְאֵ֣ין מַחֲרִ֑יד וְחִלּ֖וּ פָנֶ֣יךָ רַבִּֽים

Also you shall lie down, and none shall make afraid; yea, many shall make suit to you.

וְעֵינֵ֥י רְשָׁעִ֗ים תִּ֫כְלֶ֥ינָה וּ֭מָנוֹס אָבַ֣ד מִנְהֶ֑ם וְ֝תִקְוָתָ֗ם מַֽפַּח נָֽפֶשׁ

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope the giving up of the ghost.
