כִּי תֹאמְרוּ מַה־נִּרְדָּף־לוֹ וְשֹׁרֶשׁ דָּבָר נִמְצָא־בִֽי
If ye say: ‘How we will persecute him! ’ Seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
גּוּרוּ לָכֶם מִפְּנֵי־חֶרֶב כִּֽי־חֵמָה עֲוֺנוֹת חָרֶב לְמַעַן תֵּדְעוּן שדין
Be ye afraid of the sword; For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, That ye may know there is a judgment.
וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַֽר
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
לָכֵן שְׂעִפַּי יְשִׁיבוּנִי וּבַעֲבוּר חוּשִׁי בִֽי
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.
מוּסַר כְּלִמָּתִי אֶשְׁמָע וְרוּחַ מִֽבִּינָתִי יַעֲנֵֽנִי
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, But out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.
