Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
38 Then Hashem answered Iyov out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkeneth etzah (counsel) with words without da’as?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a gever; for I will ask of thee, and thou wilt answer Me.
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of eretz? Tell, if thou hast binah.
5 Who hath drafted the dimensions thereof, if thou hast da’as? Or who hath stretched a measuring line across it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof set? Or who laid the even-pinnah (cornerstone) thereof
7 When the kokhvei boker sang together, and all the Bnei Elohim shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the yam behind doors? Who brought it forth, issuing out of the rekhem (womb)
9 When I made the anan the garment thereof, and thick darkness its swaddling band,
10 And fixed bounds for it, and set bars and dlatot (doors),
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; and poh (here) shall thy proud waves be stopped?
107 O give thanks unto Hashem, for He is tov; ki l’olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).
2 Let the Geulei Hashem (the redeemed of Hashem) say so, whom He hath redeemed from the yad tzar;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the mizrach (east), and from the ma’arav (west), from the tzafon (north), and from the yam (sea).
23 They that go down to the yam in oniyot (ships), that do business on mayim rabbim (great waters);
24 These have seen the ma’asei Hashem, and His nifla’ot (wonders) in the deep.
25 For He commandeth, and raiseth up a ruach sa’arah (stormy wind), which lifteth up the galim (waves) thereof.
26 They [the galim] mount up to Shomayim, they went down again to the tehomot (depths); their nefesh melted in ra’ah (peril, trouble).
27 They reeled and staggered like a shikkor, and were at their wit’s end.
28 Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He brought them out of their distresses.
29 He made the sa’arah (storm) a calm, so that the galim (waves) thereof were still [Mk 4:41].
30 Then were they glad because they were quiet; so He brought them unto their makhoz chefetz (desired haven, city, district, boundary).
31 Oh that men would praise Hashem for His chesed, and for His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to the Bnei Adam!
32 Let them exalt Him also in the Kehal Am, and praise Him in the moshav zekenim (council of the elders).
6 As we work together with him, we also urge you not to receive the Chen v’Chesed Hashem in vain. [2C 5:20]
2 For he says "In a time acceptable I heard you and in a day of salvation I helped you" [YESHAYAH 49:8]. Hinei, now is the acceptable time; now is the Yom Yeshu’ah, [Ps 69:13; Isa 55:6; Lk.4:19-21]
3 Not giving in anything a cause for michshol, lest the Messianic Avodas Kodesh (holy worship, service) be blamed;
4 But in everything presenting ourselves [2C 4:2] as mesharetim of Hashem in much savlanut (patience), in tzoros, in hardships, in distresses,
5 In beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in tzomot;
6 In purity, in da’as, in longsuffering, in chesed, in the Ruach Hakodesh, in ahavah amittit,
7 In the dvar HaEmes, in the gevurat Hashem, through the weapons of Tzedek of the right hand and of the left.
8 Through honor and dishonor, through ill repute and good repute; as "deceivers" and yet true,
9 As being unknown and yet being well known, as dying and hinei, we live! As given the mishpat mavet and yet not penalized with death;
10 As having agmat nefesh but always having simcha, as poor but enriching many, as having nothing and yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken freely with you Corinthians, our levavot has been enlarged.
12 There is no penury in our affections, only in yours.
13 Now (I speak as to yeladim) make a fair exchange and open wide your levavot [1C 4:14].
35 And on that day, when erev had come, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake.
36 And leaving the multitude, they took Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, just as he was, in the sirah (boat), and other sirot (boats) were with him.
37 And there arose a fierce gale of wind and the waves were beating against the sirah (boat), so that it was already filling up.
38 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was in the stern on the cushion sleeping, and they woke him up, and they say to him, Rebbe, does it not matter to you that we are perishing?
39 And having been awakened, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the wind, and he spoke to the lake, Sha! Be still! And there was a great calm.
40 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Why do you have morech lev (cowardliness)? Do you still not have emunah?
41 And they were afraid with a terrible pachad (terror), and they were saying to one another, Who then is this that even the wind and the sea obey him?
