2.
הֲרֹב דְּבָרִים, לֹא יֵעָנֶה; וְאִם-אִישׁ שְׂפָתַיִם יִצְדָּק.
harov devarim, lo ye'aneh; ve'im-ish sefatayim yitzdak.
Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be accounted right?
3.
בַּדֶּיךָ, מְתִים יַחֲרִישׁוּ; וַתִּלְעַג, וְאֵין מַכְלִם.
badeykha, metim yakharishu; vatil'ag, ve'ein makhlim.
Thy boastings have made men hold their peace, and thou hast mocked, with none to make thee ashamed;

וְאוּלָם--מִי-יִתֵּן אֱלוֹהַּ דַּבֵּר; וְיִפְתַּח שְׂפָתָיו עִמָּךְ.
ve'ulam--mi-yiten eloah daber; veyiftakh sefatav imakh.
But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against thee;
6.
וְיַגֶּד-לְךָ, תַּעֲלֻמוֹת חָכְמָה-- כִּי-כִפְלַיִם לְתוּשִׁיָּה:וְדַע-- כִּי-יַשֶּׁה לְךָ אֱלוֹהַּ, מֵעֲוֺנֶךָ.
veyaged-lekha, ta'alumot khakhmah-- ki-khiflayim letushiyah:veda-- ki-yasheh lekha eloah, me'avonekha.
And that He would tell thee the secrets of wisdom, that sound wisdom is manifold! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

הַחֵקֶר אֱלוֹהַּ תִּמְצָא; אִם עַד-תַּכְלִית שַׁדַּי תִּמְצָא.
haheker Eloha timtza im ad-takhlit Shaddai timtza
Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purpose of the Almighty?

אִם-יַחֲלֹף וְיַסְגִּיר; וְיַקְהִיל, וּמִי יְשִׁיבֶנּוּ.
im-yakhalof veyasgir veyaqhil umi yeshivennu
If He pass by, and shut up, or gather in, then who can hinder Him?
11.
כִּי-הוּא, יָדַע מְתֵי-שָׁוְא; וַיַּרְא-אָוֶן, וְלֹא יִתְבּוֹנָן.
ki-hu, yada mete-shav; vayyar-aven, velo yitbonan.
For He knoweth base men; and when He seeth iniquity, will He not then consider it?
12.
וְאִישׁ נָבוּב, יִלָּבֵב; וְעַיִר פֶּרֶא, אָדָם יִוָּלֵד.
ve'ish navub, yillavev; ve'ayir pere, adam yivvaled.
But an empty man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.
13.
אִם-אַתָּה, הֲכִינוֹתָ לִבֶּךָ; וּפָרַשְׂתָּ אֵלָיו כַּפֶּיךָ.
im-attah, hakhinota libbeka; ufarasta elayv kappeikha.
If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward Him--
14.
אִם-אָוֶן בְּיָדְךָ, הַרְחִיקֵהוּ; וְאַל-תַּשְׁכֵּן בְּאֹהָלֶיךָ עַוְלָה.
im-aven beyadkha, harkikhehu; ve'al-tashken be'ohalekha avlah.
If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents--
15.
כִּי-אָז, תִּשָּׂא פָנֶיךָ מִמּוּם; וְהָיִיתָ מֻצָק, וְלֹא תִירָא.
ki-az tissa fanekha mimum vehayita mutzak velo tira
Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear;
16.
כִּי-אַתָּה, עָמָל תִּשְׁכָּח; כְּמַיִם עָבְרוּ תִזְכֹּר.
ki-ata amal tishkach kemayim avru tizkor
For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away;
17.
וּמִצָּהֳרַיִם, יָקוּם חָלֶד; תָּעֻפָה, כַּבֹּקֶר תִּהְיֶה.
umitzohorayim yakum khaled ta'ufa kaboker tihyeh
And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

veravatzta, ve'ein makharid; vekhillu faneikha rabbim.
Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

וְעֵינֵי רְשָׁעִים, תִּכְלֶינָה: וּמָנוֹס, אָבַד מִנְהֶם; וְתִקְוָתָם, מַפַּח-נָפֶשׁ.
ve'einei resha'im, tikhleinah: umanos, avad minhem; vetikvatam, mappach-nafesh.
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the drooping of the soul.
