Job - Chapter: 21


21:1	But Job answered and said,
21:2	Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
21:3	Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
21:4	As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
21:5	Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
21:6	Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
21:7	Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
21:8	Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
21:9	Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
21:10	Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
21:11	They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
21:12	They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
21:13	They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
21:14	Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
21:15	What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
21:16	Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
21:17	How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
21:18	They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
21:19	God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
21:20	His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21:21	For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
21:22	Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
21:23	One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
21:24	His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
21:25	And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
21:26	They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
21:27	Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
21:28	For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
21:29	Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
21:30	That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
21:31	Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
21:32	Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
21:33	The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
21:34	How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?


21:1	ויען איוב ויאמר׃
21:2	שׁמעו שׁמוע מלתי ותהי זאת תנחומתיכם׃
21:3	שׂאוני ואנכי אדבר ואחר דברי תלעיג׃
21:4	האנכי לאדם שׂיחי ואם מדוע לא תקצר רוחי׃
21:5	פנו אלי והשׁמו ושׂימו יד על פה׃
21:6	ואם זכרתי ונבהלתי ואחז בשׂרי פלצות׃
21:7	מדוע רשׁעים יחיו עתקו גם גברו חיל׃
21:8	זרעם נכון לפניהם עמם וצאצאיהם לעיניהם׃
21:9	בתיהם שׁלום מפחד ולא שׁבט אלוה עליהם׃
21:10	שׁורו עבר ולא יגעל תפלט פרתו ולא תשׁכל׃
21:11	ישׁלחו כצאן עויליהם וילדיהם ירקדון׃
21:12	ישׂאו כתף וכנור וישׂמחו לקול עוגב׃
21:13	יבלו בטוב ימיהם וברגע שׁאול יחתו׃
21:14	ויאמרו לאל סור ממנו ודעת דרכיך לא חפצנו׃
21:15	מה שׁדי כי נעבדנו ומה נועיל כי נפגע׃
21:16	הן לא בידם טובם עצת רשׁעים רחקה מני׃
21:17	כמה נר רשׁעים ידעך ויבא עלימו אידם חבלים יחלק באפו׃
21:18	יהיו כתבן לפני רוח וכמץ גנבתו סופה׃
21:19	אלוה יצפן לבניו אונו ישׁלם אליו וידע׃
21:20	יראו עינו כידו ומחמת שׁדי ישׁתה׃
21:21	כי מה חפצו בביתו אחריו ומספר חדשׁיו חצצו׃
21:22	הלאל ילמד דעת והוא רמים ישׁפוט׃
21:23	זה ימות בעצם תמו כלו שׁלאנן ושׁליו׃
21:24	עטיניו מלאו חלב ומח עצמותיו ישׁקה׃
21:25	וזה ימות בנפשׁ מרה ולא אכל בטובה׃
21:26	יחד על עפר ישׁכבו ורמה תכסה עליהם׃
21:27	הן ידעתי מחשׁבותיכם ומזמות עלי תחמסו׃
21:28	כי תאמרו איה בית נדיב ואיה אהל משׁכנות רשׁעים׃
21:29	הלא שׁאלתם עוברי דרך ואתתם לא תנכרו׃
21:30	כי ליום איד יחשׂך רע ליום עברות יובלו׃
21:31	מי יגיד על פניו דרכו והוא עשׂה מי ישׁלם׃
21:32	והוא לקברות יובל ועל גדישׁ ישׁקוד׃
21:33	מתקו לו רגבי נחל ואחריו כל אדם ימשׁוך ולפניו אין מספר׃
21:34	ואיך תנחמוני הבל ותשׁובתיכם נשׁאר מעל׃


21:1	And Job answereth and saith: --
21:2	Hear ye diligently my word, And this is your consolation.
21:3	Bear with me, and I speak, And after my speaking -- ye may deride.
21:4	I -- to man `is' my complaint? and if `so', wherefore May not my temper become short?
21:5	Turn unto me, and be astonished, And put hand to mouth.
21:6	Yea, if I have remembered, then I have been troubled. And my flesh hath taken fright.
21:7	Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth.
21:8	Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes.
21:9	Their houses `are' peace without fear, Nor `is' a rod of God upon them.
21:10	His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry.
21:11	They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their children skip,
21:12	They lift `themselves' up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of an organ.
21:13	They wear out in good their days, And in a moment `to' Sheol go down.
21:14	And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.
21:15	What `is' the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'
21:16	Lo, not in their hand `is' their good, (The counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
21:17	How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.
21:18	They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane hath stolen away,
21:19	God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him -- and he knoweth.
21:20	His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the Mighty he drinketh.
21:21	For what `is' his delight in his house after him, And the number of his months cut off?
21:22	To God doth `one' teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge?
21:23	This `one' dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease and quiet.
21:24	His breasts have been full of milk, And marrow his bones doth moisten.
21:25	And this `one' dieth with a bitter soul, And have not eaten with gladness.
21:26	Together -- on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth cover them over.
21:27	Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me ye do wrongfully.
21:28	For ye say, `Where `is' the house of the noble? And where the tent -- The tabernacles of the wicked?'
21:29	Have ye not asked those passing by the way? And their signs do ye not know?
21:30	That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.
21:31	Who doth declare to his face his way? And `for' that which he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him?
21:32	And he -- to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept.
21:33	Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering.
21:34	And how do ye comfort me `with' vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?
