Job 5:1-16

“Cry out, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?

Resentment destroys a fool, and jealousy kills the simple-minded

I have seen a fool firmly rooted, then suddenly his house is cursed

His children are at risk, destroyed at the gate without defense

The hungry help themselves to his harvest Taking it even from between the thorns And the thirsty drink up his belongings

For hardship does not jump out from the soil Trouble does not grow from the ground

Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward

But if I were you, I would appeal to El I would lay my cause before the Elohiym

He does great things beyond understanding, miracles that cannot be counted

He provides rain for the 'erets and water for the outer roads

He sets the lowly on high and lifts the mourning to safety

He thwarts the efforts of the crafty so that they touch no success

He catches the wise in their own schemes and their plans sweep them away

Their daytime becomes darkness and at noon they stumble as if it were night

But he saves the needy from the sword, and from the mouth, and from the hand of the powerful

So the poor have hope and injustice shuts its mouth.”

Job 5:17-27

Behold Blessed is the man whom Eloah corrects Therefore the rebuke of Shaddai Do not despise

For he bruises, But he also bandages; He wounds, But his hands make whole

In six troubles he will deliver you And even in seven No ra’ will touch you

In ra’ab he will redeem you from death And in war from the reach of the sword

From the lash of the tongue you will be hidden And you shall not be afraid when disaster comes

Whether disaster or famine You shall laugh And shall not be afraid Of the beasts of the ‘erets

For with the stones of the field You will have agreement And the beasts of the field Will be at peace with you

And you shall know That your tent is shalom And when you visit your dwelling You will find nothing amiss

And you shall know That your seed will be many And your offspring like the grass of the ‘erets

You will come to the grave after a full life As a sheaf of grain ripens in time

Behold We have searched this thing out Hear it and you shall know for yourself

Job 4:1-11

Eliphaz the Temanite spoke, saying,

“If someone attempted a word with you, would you be angry? But who could stop themself from speaking?

Truly you have instructed many And strengthened hands that were weak

Those who were struggling have been upheld by your words And knees that were shaking you have strengthened

But now you are the one facing trouble and you are weary It has touched you and you are troubled

Shouldn’t your piety be your confidence and your honest ways be your hope?

Remember who of the innocent has perished and where has the upright been cut off?

As I see it those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same

By the nishmat of Eloah they perish and by the ruah of His anger they are consumed

The roar of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion and the teeth of the young lions are broken

The old lion dies when there is no food and the cubs of the lioness are separated.”

Job 2:1-10

On another day the sons of the ‘Elohiym came to present themselves before Y---, and the enemy came with them to present himself before Y---.

Y--- said to the satan, “Where do you come from?”

And he answered Y---, “From traveling back and forth through the ‘erets.”

Y--- said to the satan, “Have you set your mind on my servant Îyôb? There is no one on earth like him. He is a tam and upright man who fears the ‘Elohiym and shuns ra’. And he has held his integrity even though you incited me to ruin him without cause.”

“Skin for skin!” the enemy replied. “Men will give all they have to save their own skin. But reach out your hand and strike his bones and he will curse you to your face.”

Y--- said to the satan, “Very well, then. He is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”

Then the enemy went out from the presence of Y---. He afflicted Îyôb with ra’ sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. With a piece of broken pottery he scraped himself, for he had lost everything else he owned; and he sat among the ashes.

Then said his wife to him, “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse the ‘Elohiym and die.”

He replied, “You talk like a depraved woman talks. Shall we accept tov from the ‘Elohiym and not ra’?”

And Îyôb did not khata’ in what he said.

Job 1:13-22

[from back when I was just learning about Hebrew. I didn’t like how some of it looked so I made some edits]

And there was a day when Îyôb’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the house of their oldest brother. And a mal’ak came to Îyôb and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing beside them, and enemies from Sheba attacked and carried them off. All the servants were slain with the sword. I am the only one who has escaped to tell you.”

While he was speaking, another came and said, “Fire of the ‘Elohiym fell from the heavens and burned up the seven thousand sheep, one thousand for each son. The servants were burned in the fire and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you.”

While he was speaking, another came and said, “The Kasdim formed three companies and swept down on your three thousand camels, one thousand for each daughter. The camels were carried off and the servants were slain with the sword. I am the only one who has escaped to tell you.”

And while he was speaking, another came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were feasting and drinking wine at their oldest brother’s house. There came a great ruah from the midbar which struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them, so young, and killed them, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you.”

Then Îyôb got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. He fell to the ground and bowed in reverence and said:

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb And naked I will return. Y--- gave and Y--- has taken away May the name of Y--- be blessed.”

In all this Îyôb did not khata’ and did not charge tiphlah on the 'Elohiym.

Job 1:6-12

One day the sons of the 'Elohiym came to present themselves before Y---, and the enemy came with them.

Y--- said to the enemy, “Where have you come from?”

And he answered Y---, “From traveling back and forth through the earth.”

Then Y--- said to the enemy, “Have you set your mind on my servant Îyôb? There is no one on earth like him. He is tam and righteous. He fears the 'Elohiym and shuns ra’.”

“Does Îyôb fear the 'Elohiym for nothing? You have bought his fear with gifts,” the satan replied to Y---. “Have you not put a hedge of blessings around him and his household? But reach out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will curse you to your face.”

Y--- said to the satan, “Very well, then. Everything he has is in your power; but do not lay a finger on the man himself.”

Then the enemy went out from the presence of Y---.

Job 1:1-5

In the ‘erets of Uutz, which means “wooded” or “to take advice”, there lived a man whose name was Îyôb, which means “hated” or “persecuted”.

He was a tam and righteous man who feared the ‘Elohiym and shunned ra’. Born to him were seven sons and three daughters, the perfect amount. He owned seven thousand sheep, one thousand for each son, and three thousand camels, one thousand for each daughter. He also owned five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had many servants who worked for him.

He was the greatest man among all the sons of the East.

His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

When the days of feasting were over, Îyôb would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would offer burnt offerings, one for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have khata’ and cursed the 'Elohiym in their hearts.” This was the regular custom of Îyôb.
