1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, | 1 וַ֭יַּעַן צֹפַ֥ר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ | |
2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste. | 2 לָ֭כֵן שְׂעִפַּ֣י יְשִׁיב֑וּנִי וּ֝בַעֲב֗וּר ח֣וּשִׁי בִֽי׃ | |
3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. | 3 מוּסַ֣ר כְּלִמָּתִ֣י אֶשְׁמָ֑ע וְ֝ר֗וּחַ מִֽבִּינָתִ֥י יַעֲנֵֽנִי׃ | |
4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, | 4 הֲזֹ֣את יָ֭דַעְתָּ מִנִּי־עַ֑ד מִנִּ֤י שִׂ֖ים אָדָ֣ם עֲלֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ | |
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? | 5 כִּ֤י רִנְנַ֣ת רְ֭שָׁעִים מִקָּרֹ֑וב וְשִׂמְחַ֖ת חָנֵ֣ף עֲדֵי־רָֽגַע׃ | |
6 Though his excellence shall mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds; | 6 אִם־יַעֲלֶ֣ה לַשָּׁמַ֣יִם שִׂיאֹ֑ו וְ֝רֹאשֹׁ֗ו לָעָ֥ב יַגִּֽיעַ׃ | |
7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they who have seen him shall say, Where is he? | 7 כְּֽ֭גֶלֲלֹו לָנֶ֣צַח יֹאבֵ֑ד רֹ֝אָ֗יו יֹאמְר֥וּ אַיֹּֽו׃ | |
8 He shall fly away as a dream, and will not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. | 8 כַּחֲלֹ֣ום יָ֭עוּף וְלֹ֣א יִמְצָא֑וּהוּ וְ֝יֻדַּ֗ד כְּחֶזְיֹ֥ון לָֽיְלָה׃ | |
9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. | 9 עַ֣יִן זָפַתּוּ וְלֹ֣א תֹוסִ֑יף וְלֹא־עֹ֝֗וד תְּשׁוּרֶ֥נּוּ מְקֹומֹֽו׃ | |
10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. | 10 בָּ֭נָיו יְרַצּ֣וּ דַלִּ֑ים וְ֝יָדָ֗יו תָּשֵׁ֥בְנָה אֹונֹֽו׃ | |
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. | 11 עַ֭צְמֹותָיו מָלְא֣וּ עֲלוּמֹו עֲלוּמָ֑יו וְ֝עִמֹּ֗ו עַל־עָפָ֥ר תִּשְׁכָּֽב׃ | |
12 Though wickedness may be sweet in his mouth, though he may hide it under his tongue; | 12 אִם־תַּמְתִּ֣יק בְּפִ֣יו רָעָ֑ה יַ֝כְחִידֶ֗נָּה תַּ֣חַת לְשֹׁונֹֽו׃ | |
13 Though he may spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: | 13 יַחְמֹ֣ל עָ֭לֶיהָ וְלֹ֣א יַֽעַזְבֶ֑נָּה וְ֝יִמְנָעֶ֗נָּה בְּתֹ֣וךְ חִכֹּֽו׃ | |
14 Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. | 14 לַ֭חְמֹו בְּמֵעָ֣יו נֶהְפָּ֑ךְ מְרֹורַ֖ת פְּתָנִ֣ים בְּקִרְבֹּֽו׃ | |
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. | 15 חַ֣יִל בָּ֭לַע וַיְקִאֶ֑נּוּ מִ֝בִּטְנֹ֗ו יֹֽורִשֶׁ֥נּוּ3 אֵֽל׃ | |
16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. | 16 רֹאשׁ־פְּתָנִ֥ים יִינָ֑ק תַּֽ֝הַרְגֵ֗הוּ לְשֹׁ֣ון אֶפְעֶֽה׃ | |
17 He shall not see the river, the floods, the brooks of honey and buttermilk. | 17 אַל־יֵ֥רֶא בִפְלַגֹּ֑ות נַהֲרֵ֥י נַ֝חֲלֵ֗י דְּבַ֣שׁ וְחֶמְאָֽה׃ | |
18 That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice in it. | 18 מֵשִׁ֣יב יָ֭גָע וְלֹ֣א יִבְלָ֑ע כְּחֵ֥יל תְּ֝מוּרָתֹ֗ו וְלֹ֣א יַעֲלֹֽס׃ | |
19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build. | 19 כִּֽי־רִ֭צַּץ עָזַ֣ב דַּלִּ֑ים בַּ֥יִת גָּ֝זַ֗ל וְלֹ֣א יִבֶנֵֽהוּ׃ | |
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. | 20 כִּ֤י׀ לֹא־יָדַ֣ע שָׁלֵ֣ו בְּבִטְנֹ֑ו בַּ֝חֲמוּדֹ֗ו לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט׃ | |
21 There shall none of his food be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. | 21 אֵין־שָׂרִ֥יד לְאָכְלֹ֑ו עַל־כֵּ֝֗ן לֹא־יָחִ֥יל טוּבֹֽו׃ | |
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. | 22 בִּמְלֹ֣אות פְקֹו יֵ֣צֶר לֹ֑ו כָּל־יַ֖ד עָמֵ֣ל תְּבֹואֶֽנּוּ׃ | |
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating. | 23 יְהִ֤י׀ לְמַלֵּ֬א בִטְנֹ֗ו יְֽשַׁלַּח־בֹּ֖ו חֲרֹ֣ון אַפֹּ֑ו וְיַמְטֵ֥ר עָ֝לֵ֗ימֹו בִּלְחוּמֹֽו׃ | |
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through. | 24 יִ֭בְרַח מִנֵּ֣שֶׁק בַּרְזֶ֑ל תַּ֝חְלְפֵ֗הוּ קֶ֣שֶׁת נְחוּשָֽׁה׃ | |
25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yes, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. | 25 שָׁלַף֮ וַיֵּצֵ֪א מִגֵּ֫וָ֥ה וּ֭בָרָק מִֽמְּרֹרָתֹ֥ו יַהֲלֹ֗ךְ עָלָ֥יו אֵמִֽים׃ | |
26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle. | 26 כָּל־חֹשֶׁךְ֮ טָמ֪וּן לִצְפּ֫וּנָ֥יו3 תְּ֭אָכְלֵהוּ אֵ֣שׁ לֹֽא־נֻפָּ֑ח יֵ֖רַע שָׂרִ֣יד בְּאָהֳלֹֽו׃ | |
27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. | 27 יְגַלּ֣וּ שָׁמַ֣יִם עֲוֹנֹ֑ו וְ֝אֶ֗רֶץ מִתְקֹומָ֘מָ֥ה לֹֽו׃ | |
28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. | 28 יִ֭גֶל יְב֣וּל בֵּיתֹ֑ו נִ֝גָּרֹ֗ות בְּיֹ֣ום אַפֹּֽו׃ | |
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God. | 29 זֶ֤ה׀ חֵֽלֶק־אָדָ֣ם רָ֭שָׁע מֵאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְנַחֲלַ֖ת אִמְרֹ֣ו מֵאֵֽל׃ | |
