Job 26

vayya'an iyyov vayyomar

Then Job said in reply:

meh-azarta lelo-khoakh hoshata zeroa lo-oz

You would help without having the strength; You would deliver with arms that have no power.

mah-yya'atsta lelo khokhmah vetushiyyah larov hoda'eta

Without having the wisdom, you offer advice And freely give your counsel.

et-mi higgadta millin venishmat-mi yatse'ah mimmekka

To whom have you addressed words? Whose breath issued from you?

harefa'im yekholalu mittakhat mayim veshokhenehem

The shades tremble Beneath the waters and their denizens.

arom she'ol negdo ve'en kesut la'avaddon

Sheol stands naked; Abaddon has no cover.

noteh tsafon al-tohu toleh erets al-beli-mah

[God] is the One who stretched out Zaphon over chaos, Who suspended earth over emptiness.

tsorer-mayim be'avayw velo-nivqa anan takhtam

The waters were wrapped up in God’s clouds; Yet no cloud burst under their weight.

me'akhez pene-khisseh parshez alayw anano

[God] shuts off the view of the heavenly throne, Spreading a cloud over it,

khoq-khag al-pene-mayim ad-takhlit or im-khoshekh

Drawing a boundary on the surface of the waters, At the extreme where light and darkness meet.

ammude shamayim yerofafu veyitmehu migga'arato

The pillars of heaven tremble, Astounded at God’s blasts.

bekhokho raga hayyam (vvtvvntv) [uvitvunato] makhats rahav

With power [God] stilled the sea; With skill [God] struck down Rahab.

berukho shamayim shifrah kholelah yado nakhash bariakh

With a wind [God] calmed the heavens; God’s hand pierced the Elusive Serpent.

hen-elleh qetsot derakhav umah-shemets davar nishma-bo vera'am gevurotav mi yitbonan

These are but glimpses of God’s rule, The mere whisper we are able to perceive; Who can absorb the thunder of God’s mighty deeds?
