Anyway - another short chapter done! You can still tell it's poetry. And we hear all these objections to faith today. I don't think Bildad should be tidied up.
Job 25 | Fn | Min | Max | Syll | ||
וַ֭יַּעַן בִּלְדַּ֥ד הַשֻּׁחִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר | 1 | g | Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said, | 3e | 3g | 11 |
הַמְשֵׁ֣ל וָפַ֣חַד עִמּ֑וֹ עֹשֶׂ֥ה שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו | 2 | The governance and dread are with him. He makes peace in his exaltation. | 3e | 4B | 7 7 | |
הֲיֵ֣שׁ מִ֭סְפָּר לִגְדוּדָ֑יו וְעַל־מִ֝֗י לֹא־יָק֥וּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ | 3 | Is there count of his raiding parties? and over whom does his light not arise? | 3e | 4B | 7 8 | |
וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֣ק אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עִם־אֵ֑ל וּמַה־יִּ֝זְכֶּ֗ה יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה | 4 | And how is a mortal to be justified with the One, or how clear is one born of woman? | 3e | 4B | 8 8 | |
הֵ֣ן עַד־יָ֭רֵחַ וְלֹ֣א יַאֲהִ֑יל וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ בְעֵינָֽיו | 5 | B | Lo, to the moon, and it does not form a tent. And stars are not clear in his eyes. | 3e | 4B | 10 9 |
אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אֱנ֣וֹשׁ רִמָּ֑ה וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם תּוֹלֵעָֽה פ | 6 | g | Indeed, for a mortal maggot, or a child of humus... is a worm... P | 3e | 4B | 5 8 |
