Young's Literal Translation · 1862
2Hear my words, ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
2Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
3For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.
3For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good!
4Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what <FI>is<Fi> good.
5For Job hath said, I am righteous, andGod hath taken away my judgment:
5For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
6Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable without transgression.
6Against my right do I lie? Mortal <FI>is<Fi> mine arrow--without transgression.'
7What man is like Job? he drinketh up scorning like water,
7Who <FI>is<Fi> a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
8And goeth in company with workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
8And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
9For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself inGod.
9For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
10Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be wickedness fromGod, and wrong from the Almighty!
10Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And <FI>from<Fi> the Mighty to do perverseness:
11For a man's work will he render to him, and cause every one to find according to [his] way.
11For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
12Yea, surely,God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.
12Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
13Who hath entrusted to him the earth? and who hath disposed the whole world?
13Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
14If he only thought of himself, [and] gathered unto him his spirit and his breath,
14If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
15All flesh would expire together, and man would return to the dust.
15Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
16If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words!
16And if <FI>there is<Fi> understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
17Should he that hateth right indeed govern? and wilt thou condemn the All-just?
17Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
18Shall one say to a king, Belial? to nobles, Wicked?
18Who hath said to a king--`Worthless,' Unto princes--`Wicked?'
19[How then to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich man more than the poor? for they are all the work of his hands.
19That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands <FI>are<Fi> all of them.
20In a moment they die, even at midnight the people are convulsed and pass away; and the strong are taken away without hand.
20<FI> In<Fi> a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his steps.
21For His eyes <FI>are<Fi> on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
22There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
23For he doth not long consider a man, to bring him beforeGod in judgment.
23For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,
24He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquiry, and setteth others in their stead;
24He breaketh the mighty--no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead.
25Since he knoweth their actions; and he overthroweth [them] in the night, and they are crushed.
25Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
26He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others,
26As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
27Because they have turned back from him, and would consider none of his ways;
27Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,
28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
28To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.
29When he giveth quietness, who then will disturb? and when he hideth [his] face, who shall behold him? and this towards a nation, or towards a man alike;
29And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, <FI>It is<Fi> the same.
30That the ungodly man reign not, that the people be not ensnared.
30From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;
31For hath he said untoGod, I bear [chastisement], I will not offend;
31For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly,
32What I see not, teach thou me; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more?
32Besides <FI>that which<Fi> I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done--I do not add?'
33Shall he recompense according to thy mind? for thou hast refused [his judgment]; for thou so choosest, and not I; speak then what thou knowest.
33By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused--That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak.
34Men of understanding will say to me, and a wise man who heareth me:
34Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.
35Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were not with intelligence.
35Job--not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words <FI>are<Fi> not with wisdom.
