וַיַּ֥עַן SDBH replied אִיּ֗וֹב SDBH Then Job וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ SDBH . . .

But Iyov answered and said,

2

ל֗וּ If only שָׁק֣וֹל SDBH could be weighed יִשָּׁקֵ֣ל SDBH . . . כַּעְשִׂ֑י SDBH my grief וְהַיָּתִי SDBH my calamity בְּֽמֹאזְנַ֥יִם SDBH on the scales יִשְׂאוּ־ SDBH and placed יָֽחַד׃ SDBH with

Oh that my ka'as (vexation) were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the scales together!

3

For now it would be heavier than the chol of the seas; therefore my words are impetuous.

4

כִּ֤י For חִצֵּ֪י SDBH the arrows שַׁדַּ֡י SDBH of the Almighty עִמָּדִ֗י have pierced me אֲשֶׁ֣ר SDBH - חֲ֭מָתָם SDBH their poison שֹׁתָ֣ה SDBH drinks in רוּחִ֑י SDBH my spirit בִּעוּתֵ֖י SDBH the terrors אֱל֣וֹהַּ SDBH of G-d יַֽעַרְכֽוּנִי׃ SDBH are arrayed against me

For the khitzim (arrows) of Shaddai are in me, the poison whereof drinketh my ruach; the terrors of Eloah do set themselves in array against me.

5

Doth the pereh (wild donkey) bray when he hath desheh? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?

Can that which is tasteless be eaten without melach? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

The things that my nefesh refused to touch are like my loathsome lechem.

8

מִֽי־ SDBH If only יִ֭תֵּן . . . תָּב֣וֹא SDBH were granted שֶֽׁאֱלָתִ֑י SDBH my request וְ֝תִקְוָתִ֗י SDBH my hope יִתֵּ֥ן would fulfill אֱלֽוֹהַּ׃ SDBH and G-d

Who will grant that I might have my she'elah (request); oh that Eloah would grant me my tikveh!

9

וְיֹאֵ֣ל SDBH would be willing אֱ֭לוֹהַּ SDBH that G-d וִֽידַכְּאֵ֑נִי SDBH to crush me יַתֵּ֥ר SDBH to unleash יָ֝ד֗וֹ SDBH His hand וִֽיבַצְּעֵֽנִי׃ SDBH and cut me off

Even that it would please Eloah to crush me; that He would let loose His yad, and cut me off!

Then should I yet have nechamah (consolation); yea, I would exult in chilah (pain); let him not spare; for I have not concealed the imrei Kadosh (words of the Holy One).

11

מַה־ SDBH What כֹּחִ֥י SDBH strength do I have כִֽי־ that אֲיַחֵ֑ל SDBH I should still hope וּמַה־ SDBH What קִּ֝צִּ֗י SDBH is my future כִּֽי־ that אַאֲרִ֥יךְ SDBH should be patient נַפְשִֽׁי׃ SDBH I
