34

1 וַיַּ֥עַן אֱלִיה֗וּא וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ Moreover Elihu answered and said:

2 שִׁמְע֣וּ חֲכָמִ֣ים מִלָּ֑י וְ֝יֹדְעִ֗ים הַאֲזִ֥ינוּ לִֽי׃ Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

3 כִּי־אֹ֭זֶן מִלִּ֣ין תִּבְחָ֑ן וְ֝חֵ֗ךְ יִטְעַ֥ם לֶאֱכֹֽל׃ For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.

4 מִשְׁפָּ֥ט נִבְחֲרָה־לָּ֑נוּ נֵדְעָ֖ה בֵינֵ֣ינוּ מַה־טּֽוֹב׃ Let us choose for us that which is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good.

5 כִּֽי־אָמַ֣ר אִיּ֣וֹב צָדַ֑קְתִּי וְ֝אֵ֗ל הֵסִ֥יר מִשְׁפָּטִֽי׃ For Job hath said: ‘I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right;

6 עַל־מִשְׁפָּטִ֥י אֲכַזֵּ֑ב אָנ֖וּשׁ חִצִּ֣י בְלִי־פָֽשַׁע׃ Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 מִי־גֶ֥בֶר כְּאִיּ֑וֹב יִֽשְׁתֶּה־לַּ֥עַג כַּמָּֽיִם׃ What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scorning like water?

8 וְאָרַ֣ח לְ֭חֶבְרָה עִם־פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן וְ֝לָלֶ֗כֶת עִם־אַנְשֵׁי־רֶֽשַׁע׃ Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men.

9 כִּֽי־אָ֭מַר לֹ֣א יִסְכׇּן־גָּ֑בֶר בִּ֝רְצֹת֗וֹ עִם־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ For he hath said: ‘It profiteth a man nothing That he should be in accord with God.’

10 לָכֵ֤ן ׀ אַ֥נְשֵׁ֥י לֵבָ֗ב שִׁמְע֫וּ־לִ֥י חָלִ֖לָה לָאֵ֥ל מֵרֶ֗שַׁע וְשַׁדַּ֥י מֵעָֽוֶל׃ Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that He should do wickedness; And from the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity.

11 כִּ֤י פֹ֣עַל אָ֭דָם יְשַׁלֶּם־ל֑וֹ וּֽכְאֹ֥רַח אִ֝֗ישׁ יַמְצִאֶֽנּוּ׃ For the work of a man will He requite unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.

12 אַף־אׇמְנָ֗ם אֵ֥ל לֹֽא־יַרְשִׁ֑יעַ וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹא־יְעַוֵּ֥ת מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

13 מִֽי־פָקַ֣ד עָלָ֣יו אָ֑רְצָה וּמִ֥י שָׂ֝֗ם תֵּבֵ֥ל כֻּלָּֽהּ׃ Who gave Him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?

14 אִם־יָשִׂ֣ים אֵלָ֣יו לִבּ֑וֹ רוּח֥וֹ וְ֝נִשְׁמָת֗וֹ אֵלָ֥יו יֶאֱסֹֽף׃ If He set His heart upon man, If He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath;

15 יִגְוַ֣ע כׇּל־בָּשָׂ֣ר יָ֑חַד וְ֝אָדָ֗ם עַל־עָפָ֥ר יָשֽׁוּב׃ All flesh shall perish together, And man shall return unto dust.

16 וְאִם־בִּ֥ינָה שִׁמְעָה־זֹּ֑את הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינָה לְק֣וֹל מִלָּֽי׃ If now thou hast understanding, hear this; Hearken to the voice of my words.

17 הַאַ֬ף שׂוֹנֵ֣א מִשְׁפָּ֣ט יַחֲב֑וֹשׁ וְאִם־צַדִּ֖יק כַּבִּ֣יר תַּרְשִֽׁיעַ׃ Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty—

18 הַאֲמֹ֣ר לְמֶ֣לֶךְ בְּלִיָּ֑עַל רָ֝שָׁ֗ע אֶל־נְדִיבִֽים׃ Is it fit to say to a king: ‘Thou art base’? Or to nobles: ‘Ye are wicked’?—

19 אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־נָשָׂ֨א ׀ פְּנֵ֥י שָׂרִ֗ים וְלֹ֣א נִכַּר־שׁ֭וֹעַ לִפְנֵי־דָ֑ל כִּֽי־מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדָ֣יו כֻּלָּֽם׃ That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they all are the work of His hands.

20 רֶ֤גַע ׀ יָמֻתוּ֮ וַחֲצ֢וֹת לָ֥֫יְלָה יְגֹעֲשׁ֣וּ עָ֣ם וְיַעֲבֹ֑רוּ וְיָסִ֥ירוּ אַ֝בִּ֗יר לֹ֣א בְיָֽד׃ In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand. .

21 כִּֽי־עֵ֭ינָיו עַל־דַּרְכֵי־אִ֑ישׁ וְֽכׇל־צְעָדָ֥יו יִרְאֶֽה׃ For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He seeth all his goings.

22 אֵֽין־חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וְאֵ֣ין צַלְמָ֑וֶת לְהִסָּ֥תֶר שָׁ֝֗ם פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א עַל־אִ֭ישׁ יָשִׂ֣ים ע֑וֹד לַהֲלֹ֥ךְ אֶל־אֵ֝֗ל בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ For He doth not appoint a time unto any man, When he should go before God in judgment.

24 יָרֹ֣עַ כַּבִּירִ֣ים לֹא־חֵ֑קֶר וַיַּעֲמֵ֖ד אֲחֵרִ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם׃ He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, And setteth others in their stead.

25 לָכֵ֗ן יַ֭כִּיר מַעְבָּדֵיהֶ֑ם וְהָ֥פַךְ לַ֝֗יְלָה וְיִדַּכָּֽאוּ׃ Therefore He taketh knowledge of their works; And He overturneth them in the night, so that they are crushed.

26 תַּֽחַת־רְשָׁעִ֥ים סְפָקָ֗ם בִּמְק֥וֹם רֹאִֽים׃ He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;

27 אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־כֵּ֭ן סָ֣רוּ מֵאַחֲרָ֑יו וְכׇל־דְּ֝רָכָ֗יו לֹ֣א הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ Because they turned aside from following Him, And would not have regard to any of His ways;

28 לְהָבִ֣יא עָ֭לָיו צַעֲקַת־דָּ֑ל וְצַעֲקַ֖ת עֲנִיִּ֣ים יִשְׁמָֽע׃ So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto Him, And He heareth the cry of the afflicted.

29 וְה֤וּא יַשְׁקִ֨ט ׀ וּמִ֥י יַרְשִׁ֗עַ וְיַסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נִים וּמִ֣י יְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ וְעַל־גּ֖וֹי וְעַל־אָדָ֣ם יָֽחַד׃ When He giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him? Whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike;

30 מִ֭מְּלֹךְ אָדָ֥ם חָנֵ֗ף מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי עָֽם׃ That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.

31 כִּֽי־אֶל־אֵ֭ל הֶאָמַ֥ר נָשָׂ֗אתִי לֹ֣א אֶחְבֹּֽל׃ For hath any said unto God: ‘I have borne chastisement, though I offend not;

32 בִּלְעֲדֵ֣י אֶ֭חֱזֶה אַתָּ֣ה הֹרֵ֑נִי אִֽם־עָ֥וֶל פָּ֝עַ֗לְתִּי לֹ֣א אֹסִֽיף׃ That which I see not teach Thou me; If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

33 הֲֽמֵעִמְּךָ֬ יְשַׁלְּמֶ֨נָּה ׀ כִּֽי־מָאַ֗סְתָּ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה תִבְחַ֣ר וְלֹא־אָ֑נִי וּֽמַה־יָּדַ֥עְתָּ דַבֵּֽר׃ Shall His recompense be as thou wilt? For thou loathest it, So that thou must choose, and not I; Therefore speak what thou knowest.

34 אַנְשֵׁ֣י לֵ֭בָב יֹ֣אמְרוּ לִ֑י וְגֶ֥בֶר חָ֝כָ֗ם שֹׁמֵ֥עַֽ לִֽי׃ Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:

35 אִ֭יּוֹב לֹא־בְדַ֣עַת יְדַבֵּ֑ר וּ֝דְבָרָ֗יו לֹ֣א בְהַשְׂכֵּֽיל׃ ’Job speaketh without knowledge, And his words are without discernment.’

36 אָבִ֗י יִבָּחֵ֣ן אִיּ֣וֹב עַד־נֶ֑צַח עַל־תְּ֝שֻׁבֹ֗ת בְּאַנְשֵׁי־אָֽוֶן׃ Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.

37 כִּ֥י־יֹ֘סִ֤יף עַֽל־חַטָּאת֣וֹ פֶ֭שַׁע בֵּינֵ֣ינוּ יִשְׂפּ֑וֹק וְיֶ֖רֶב אֲמָרָ֣יו לָאֵֽל׃ {פ}
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God.

Rashi

English

When He quiets He gives the poor [some peace and] quiet from those who oppress [them]. Now who will deal wickedly anymore? And as long as He hid His face, who will see Him?

whether [it be done] to a nation or to a man, alike As for individuals, [or] as for a multitude it is the same to Him to quiet [them] and to hide His face.

Ibn Ezra

עברית

והוא ישקיט ומי ירשיע - יניע כעניין נצוח וכמוהו: ובכל אשר יפנה ירשיע, והעניין הפך ישקיט כי בשעת הנצוח יתנועעו בני אדם, הלא תראה יאמר והרשעים כים נגרש כי השקט לא יוכל.

ויסתר פנים - הפך ישקיט אז יתעוררו כל המלחמות.

על גוי - על אומה גם על אדם לבדו, ולא ימליך אדם חנף אלא ממוקשי עם, כדי להנקם מהם.
