וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר
Then Job answered and said:
שָׁמַעְתִּי כְאֵלֶּה רַבּוֹת מְנַחֲמֵי עָמָל כֻּלְּכֶֽם
I have heard many such things; Sorry comforters are ye all.
הֲקֵץ לְדִבְרֵי־רוּחַ אוֹ מַה־יַּמְרִֽיצְךָ כִּי תַעֲנֶֽה
Shall windy words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
גַּם אָנֹכִי כָּכֶם אֲדַבֵּרָה לוּ־יֵשׁ נַפְשְׁכֶם תַּחַת נַפְשִׁי אַחְבִּירָה עֲלֵיכֶם בְּמִלִּים וְאָנִיעָה עֲלֵיכֶם בְּמוֹ רֹאשִֽׁי
I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.
אֲאַמִּצְכֶם בְּמוֹ־פִי וְנִיד שְׂפָתַי יַחְשֹֽׂךְ
I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips would assuage your grief.
