13

1 הֶן־כֹּ֭ל רָאֲתָ֣ה עֵינִ֑י שָֽׁמְעָ֥ה אׇ֝זְנִ֗י וַתָּ֥בֶן לָֽהּ׃ Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, Mine ear hath heard and understood it.

2 כְּֽ֭דַעְתְּכֶם יָדַ֣עְתִּי גַם־אָ֑נִי לֹֽא־נֹפֵ֖ל אָנֹכִ֣י מִכֶּֽם׃ What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.

3 אוּלָ֗ם אֲ֭נִי אֶל־שַׁדַּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר וְהוֹכֵ֖חַ אֶל־אֵ֣ל אֶחְפָּֽץ׃ Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.

4 וְֽאוּלָ֗ם אַתֶּ֥ם טֹפְלֵי־שָׁ֑קֶר רֹפְאֵ֖י אֱלִ֣ל כֻּלְּכֶֽם׃ But ye are plasterers of lies, Ye are all physicians of no value.

5 מִי־יִ֭תֵּן הַחֲרֵ֣שׁ תַּחֲרִישׁ֑וּן וּתְהִ֖י לָכֶ֣ם לְחׇכְמָֽה׃ Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.

6 שִׁמְעוּ־נָ֥א תוֹכַחְתִּ֑י וְרִב֖וֹת שְׂפָתַ֣י הַקְשִֽׁיבוּ׃ Hear now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

7 הַ֭לְאֵל תְּדַבְּר֣וּ עַוְלָ֑ה וְ֝ל֗וֹ תְּֽדַבְּר֥וּ רְמִיָּֽה׃ Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for Him?

8 הֲפָנָ֥יו תִּשָּׂא֑וּן אִם־לָאֵ֥ל תְּרִיבֽוּן׃ Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend for God?

9 הֲ֭טוֹב כִּֽי־יַחְקֹ֣ר אֶתְכֶ֑ם אִם־כְּהָתֵ֥ל בֶּ֝אֱנ֗וֹשׁ תְּהָתֵ֥לּוּ בֽוֹ׃ Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him?

10 הוֹכֵ֣חַ יוֹכִ֣יחַ אֶתְכֶ֑ם אִם־בַּ֝סֵּ֗תֶר פָּנִ֥ים תִּשָּׂאֽוּן׃ He will surely reprove you, If ye do secretly show favour.

11 הֲלֹ֣א שְׂ֭אֵתוֹ תְּבַעֵ֣ת אֶתְכֶ֑ם וּ֝פַחְדּ֗וֹ יִפֹּ֥ל עֲלֵיכֶֽם׃ Shall not His majesty terrify you, And His dread fall upon you?

12 זִֽ֭כְרֹנֵיכֶם מִשְׁלֵי־אֵ֑פֶר לְגַבֵּי־חֹ֝֗מֶר גַּבֵּיכֶֽם׃ Your memorials shall be like unto ashes, Your eminences to eminences of clay.

13 הַחֲרִ֣ישׁוּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי וַאֲדַבְּרָה־אָ֑נִי וְיַעֲבֹ֖ר עָלַ֣י מָֽה׃ Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, And let come on me what will.

14 עַל־מָ֤ה ׀ אֶשָּׂ֣א בְשָׂרִ֣י בְשִׁנָּ֑י וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י אָשִׂ֥ים בְּכַפִּֽי׃ Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand.

15 הֵ֣ן יִ֭קְטְלֵנִי (לא) [ל֣וֹ] אֲיַחֵ֑ל אַךְ־דְּ֝רָכַ֗י אֶל־פָּנָ֥יו אוֹכִֽיחַ׃ Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; But I will argue my ways before Him.

16 גַּם־הוּא־לִ֥י לִישׁוּעָ֑ה כִּי־לֹ֥א לְ֝פָנָ֗יו חָנֵ֥ף יָבֽוֹא׃ This also shall be my salvation, That a hypocrite cannot come before Him.

17 שִׁמְע֣וּ שָׁ֭מוֹעַ מִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝אַחֲוָתִ֗י בְּאׇזְנֵיכֶֽם׃ Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.

18 הִנֵּה־נָ֭א עָרַ֣כְתִּי מִשְׁפָּ֑ט יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי כִּי־אֲנִ֥י אֶצְדָּֽק׃ Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

19 מִי־ה֭וּא יָרִ֣יב עִמָּדִ֑י כִּֽי־עַתָּ֖ה אַחֲרִ֣ישׁ וְאֶגְוָֽע׃ Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die.

20 אַךְ־שְׁ֭תַּיִם אַל־תַּ֣עַשׂ עִמָּדִ֑י אָ֥ז מִ֝פָּנֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א אֶסָּתֵֽר׃ Only do not two things unto me, Then will I not hide myself from Thee:

21 כַּ֭פְּךָ מֵעָלַ֣י הַרְחַ֑ק וְ֝אֵ֥מָתְךָ֗ אַֽל־תְּבַעֲתַֽנִּי׃ Withdraw Thy hand far from me; And let not Thy terror make me afraid.

22 וּ֭קְרָא וְאָנֹכִ֣י אֶעֱנֶ֑ה אֽוֹ־אֲ֝דַבֵּ֗ר וַהֲשִׁיבֵֽנִי׃ Then call Thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer Thou me.

23 כַּמָּ֣ה לִ֭י עֲוֺנ֣וֹת וְחַטָּא֑וֹת פִּֽשְׁעִ֥י וְ֝חַטָּאתִ֗י הֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃ How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.

24 לָֽמָּה־פָנֶ֥יךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר וְתַחְשְׁבֵ֖נִי לְאוֹיֵ֣ב לָֽךְ׃ Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, And holdest me for Thine enemy?

25 הֶעָלֶ֣ה נִדָּ֣ף תַּעֲר֑וֹץ וְאֶת־קַ֖שׁ יָבֵ֣שׁ תִּרְדֹּֽף׃ Wilt Thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt Thou pursue the dry stubble?

26 כִּֽי־תִכְתֹּ֣ב עָלַ֣י מְרֹר֑וֹת וְ֝תוֹרִישֵׁ֗נִי עֲוֺנ֥וֹת נְעוּרָֽי׃ That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, And make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

27 וְתָ֘שֵׂ֤ם בַּסַּ֨ד ׀ רַגְלַ֗י וְתִשְׁמ֥וֹר כׇּל־אׇרְחוֹתָ֑י עַל־שׇׁרְשֵׁ֥י רַ֝גְלַ֗י תִּתְחַקֶּֽה׃ Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, And lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet;

28 וְ֭הוּא כְּרָקָ֣ב יִבְלֶ֑ה כְּ֝בֶ֗גֶד אֲכָ֣לוֹ עָֽשׁ׃ Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.

Commentary on Job 13:12

Rashi

English

your memorials are compared to ashes Your memorials are compared to ashes. You expect to be compared to Abraham, who said (Genesis 18:27), “I am only dust and ashes.”

are like eminences of clay Your eminences ore equal to eminences of clay, compared to Him. The word גביכם means, your height, like (Ezek. 16:24), “and you built for yourself a platform (גב).”
