1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid?
|
��������, ����� �������� ��������; �� ��������� �������, �����������.
|
2 For what would be the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
|
��������-���� ��������; �� �������, ��������� �����.
|
3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
|
��������-����, ������� �������; �� �����-������� ���������.
|
4 Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps?
|
������-���������� ���-������; �� ��������� ���-������� �������.
|
5 If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit--
|
��������������� ����������-�����; �� ������� ��������, ���������.
|
6 Let me be weighed in a just balance, that God may know mine integrity--
|
������ ������� ���������, �� ������ ���������: ������� ������, ������ ������; �� ����������, ������ �����.
|
7 If my step hath turned out of the way, {N} and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any spot hath cleaved to my hands;
|
������������, ������� ������; �� ����������� �����������.
|
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
|
������-�������� ������, ���-�������; �� �����-������ ����� ����������.
|
9 If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbour's door;
|
����������� ������� ���������; �� ���������, ���������� ��������.
|
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
|
��������-��� (����) ������; �� ���� (������), ����� ����������.
|
11 For that were a heinous crime; yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
|
�������� ���� ����, ���-��������� �������; �� �������-����������� ���������.
|
12 For it is a fire that consumeth unto destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
|
�������-�������--��������� ��������, ���������: �� ��������, ��������.
|
13 If I did despise the cause of my man-servant, or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me--
|
��������� ��������, ����-������ ���; �� �����-�������, ��� ������������.
|
14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when He remembereth, what shall I answer Him?
|
���������-��������, �������� ��������; �� ������������, �������� �����.
|
15 Did not He that made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?
|
�������-�������, ������� ��������; �� �������� ��������� ��������.
|
16 If I have withheld aught that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
|
����������� ������� ��������; �� �����-����� ������ ���������.
|
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof--
|
�������� �����������, ���������� �����; �� ���������� ������ ����������.
|
18 Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide from my mother's womb.
|
�������-������� ������, �������� �������; �� ������ �������, ����������.
|
19 If I have seen any wanderer in want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
|
������-��� ���������� �������; �� �������� ���������, ����������.
|
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
|
�������-����������� ���-������ �����: �� ����-������� ���������, ���������.
|
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;
|
������������, ����������� �������; �� �����������, �������� ���������.
|
22 Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
|
�������� ����� �����, ���� ���; �� �������������, ��� ������.
|
23 For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of His majesty I could do nothing.
|
�������-��������� ����� ��������; �� ����������, ���������� ���������.
|
24 If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold: 'Thou art my confidence';
|
�������-��������, ����-��� ������; �� �����-�������, ������� �����.
|
25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
|
�������-������� ����, ���� �����; �� ��������, ����� ������.
|
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
|
�������������� ��������� ������; �� ���������� ����� �����.
|
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, and my mouth hath kissed my hand;
|
��������-����, ����� ���������: �� ����-����������� ����� ��������.
|
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have lied to God that is above.
|
�������-��������, ������� ����������; �� ����������������, ����-������� ���.
|
29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or exulted when evil found him--
|
��������-�������� ������� ������-- �� �������� �������� ��������.
|
30 Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse.
|
�������-��� �������, ����� �������; �� ���-������ �����������, ��� ���������.
|
31 If the men of my tent said not: 'Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat?'
|
�����������, ���-������ ����; �� ��������, ������� ��������.
|
32 The stranger did not lodge in the street; my doors I opened to the roadside.
|
�������-���������� ������� ���������-- �� �������� ��������� �������.
|
33 If after the manner of men I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom--
|
�������� ��������, ������ ������-- �� ������-������������ ����������; ��������, �� ���-����� �����.
|
34 Because I feared the great multitude, and the most contemptible among families terrified me, {N} so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door.
|
������� ������-���, ������� ���-- �� ���-������, ������� ���������; ������� ������, �� ����� ������.
|
35 Oh that I had one to hear me!--Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me-- {N} and that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
|
�������-��� ���-��������, ������������; �� ������������ �������� ���.
|
36 Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown.
|
������������ �������, ������������; �� ������-������, ������������.
|
37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
|
�������-�����, ��������� �������; �� �������, ���������� �����������.
|
38 If my land cry out against me, and the furrows thereof weep together;
|
�������-�������, ���������� �����-�����; �� �������� ���������� �����������.
|
39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the tillers thereof to be disappointed--
|
��������� ������, ����� �����--�������-�������� ��������: �� �������, �������� �������.
|
40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and noisome weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. {P}
