If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
כֵּן׀ דְּעֶה חָכְמָה לְנַפְשֶׁךָ אִם-מָצָאתָ וְיֵשׁ אַחֲרִית וְתִקְוָתְךָ לֹא תִכָּרֵֽת׃
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
כְּצִנַּת-שֶׁלֶג׀ בְּיוֹם קָצִיר צִיר נֶאֱמָן לְשֹׁלְחָיו וְנֶפֶשׁ אֲדֹנָיו יָשִֽׁיב׃

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
נֶפֶשׁ שְׂבֵעָה תָּבוּס נֹפֶת וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה כָּל-מַר מָתֽוֹק׃
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
שֶׁמֶן וּקְטֹרֶת יְשַׂמַּֽח-לֵב וּמֶתֶק רֵעֵהוּ מֵֽעֲצַת-נָֽפֶשׁ׃

There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
יֵשׁ אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי גַּם בֵּן וָאָח אֵֽין-לוֹ וְאֵין קֵץ לְכָל-עֲמָלוֹ גַּם-(עיניו) עֵינוֹ לֹא-תִשְׂבַּע עֹשֶׁר וּלְמִי׀ אֲנִי עָמֵל וּמְחַסֵּר אֶת-נַפְשִׁי מִטּוֹבָה גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וְעִנְיַן רָע הֽוּא׃
There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִתֶּן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים עֹשֶׁר וּנְכָסִים וְכָבוֹד וְֽאֵינֶנּוּ חָסֵר לְנַפְשׁוֹ׀ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יִתְאַוֶּה וְלֹֽא-יַשְׁלִיטֶנּוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לֶאֱכֹל מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי אִישׁ נָכְרִי יֹֽאכֲלֶנּוּ זֶה הֶבֶל וָחֳלִי רָע הֽוּא׃
A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
אִם-יוֹלִיד אִישׁ מֵאָה וְשָׁנִים רַבּוֹת יִֽחְיֶה וְרַב׀ שֶׁיִּהְיוּ יְמֵֽי-שָׁנָיו וְנַפְשׁוֹ לֹא-תִשְׂבַּע מִן-הַטּוֹבָה וְגַם-קְבוּרָה לֹא-הָיְתָה לּוֹ אָמַרְתִּי טוֹב מִמֶּנּוּ הַנָּֽפֶל׃
If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
טוֹב מַרְאֵה עֵינַיִם מֵֽהֲלָךְ-נָפֶשׁ גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וּרְעוּת רֽוּחַ׃
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
אֲשֶׁר עוֹד-בִּקְשָׁה נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא מָצָאתִי אָדָם אֶחָד מֵאֶלֶף מָצָאתִי וְאִשָּׁה בְכָל-אֵלֶּה לֹא מָצָֽאתִי׃
Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
הַגִּידָה לִּי שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי אֵיכָה תִרְעֶה אֵיכָה תַּרְבִּיץ בַּֽצָּהֳרָיִם שַׁלָּמָה אֶֽהְיֶה כְּעֹטְיָה עַל עֶדְרֵי חֲבֵרֶֽיךָ׃
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
עַל-מִשְׁכָּבִי בַּלֵּילוֹת בִּקַּשְׁתִּי אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי בִּקַּשְׁתִּיו וְלֹא מְצָאתִֽיו׃
By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
אָקוּמָה נָּא וַאֲסוֹבְבָה בָעִיר בַּשְּׁוָקִים וּבָרְחֹבוֹת אֲבַקְשָׁה אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי בִּקַּשְׁתִּיו וְלֹא מְצָאתִֽיו׃
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
מְצָאוּנִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַסֹּבְבִים בָּעִיר אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי רְאִיתֶֽם׃
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
כִּמְעַט שֶׁעָבַרְתִּי מֵהֶם עַד שֶֽׁמָּצָאתִי אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי אֲחַזְתִּיו וְלֹא אַרְפֶּנּוּ עַד-שֶׁהֲבֵיאתִיו אֶל-בֵּית אִמִּי וְאֶל-חֶדֶר הוֹרָתִֽי׃
It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
פָּתַחְתִּֽי אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי חָמַק עָבָר נַפְשִׁי יָֽצְאָה בְדַבְּרוֹ בִּקַּשְׁתִּיהוּ וְלֹא מְצָאתִיהוּ קְרָאתִיו וְלֹא עָנָֽנִי׃
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
לֹא יָדַעְתִּי נַפְשִׁי שָׂמַתְנִי מַרְכְּבוֹת עַמִּי נָדִֽיב׃
Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.
חָדְשֵׁיכֶם וּמוֹעֲדֵיכֶם שָׂנְאָה נַפְשִׁי הָיוּ עָלַי לָטֹרַח נִלְאֵיתִי נְשֹֽׂא׃
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
הַכָּרַת פְּנֵיהֶם עָנְתָה בָּם וְחַטָּאתָם כִּסְדֹם הִגִּידוּ לֹא כִחֵדוּ אוֹי לְנַפְשָׁם כִּֽי-גָמְלוּ לָהֶם רָעָֽה׃
The shew of their countenance doth witness them; against and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
הַפְּאֵרִים וְהַצְּעָדוֹת וְהַקִּשֻּׁרִים וּבָתֵּי הַנֶּפֶשׁ וְהַלְּחָשִֽׁים׃
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
לָכֵן הִרְחִיבָה שְּׁאוֹל נַפְשָׁהּ וּפָעֲרָה פִיהָ לִבְלִי-חֹק וְיָרַד הֲדָרָהּ וַהֲמוֹנָהּ וּשְׁאוֹנָהּ וְעָלֵז בָּֽהּ׃
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
וּכְבוֹד יַעְרוֹ וְכַרְמִלּוֹ מִנֶּפֶשׁ וְעַד-בָּשָׂר יְכַלֶּה וְהָיָה כִּמְסֹס נֹסֵֽס׃
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
וַתִּזְעַק חֶשְׁבּוֹן וְאֶלְעָלֵה עַד-יַהַץ נִשְׁמַע קוֹלָם עַל-כֵּן חֲלֻצֵי מוֹאָב יָרִיעוּ נַפְשׁוֹ יָרְעָה לּֽוֹ׃
And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
וְהָיוּ שָׁתֹתֶיהָ מְדֻכָּאִים כָּל-עֹשֵׂי שֶׂכֶר אַגְמֵי-נָֽפֶשׁ׃
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
אַף אֹרַח מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יְהוָה קִוִּינוּךָ לְשִׁמְךָ וּֽלְזִכְרְךָ תַּאֲוַת-נָֽפֶשׁ׃
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
נַפְשִׁי אִוִּיתִךָ בַּלַּיְלָה אַף-רוּחִי בְקִרְבִּי אֲשַֽׁחֲרֶךָּ כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ לָאָרֶץ צֶדֶק לָמְדוּ יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵֽל׃
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר יַחֲלֹם הָרָעֵב וְהִנֵּה אוֹכֵל וְהֵקִיץ וְרֵיקָה נַפְשׁוֹ וְכַאֲשֶׁר יַחֲלֹם הַצָּמֵא וְהִנֵּה שֹׁתֶה וְהֵקִיץ וְהִנֵּה עָיֵף וְנַפְשׁוֹ שׁוֹקֵקָה כֵּן יִֽהְיֶה הֲמוֹן כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם הַצֹּבְאִים עַל-הַר צִיּֽוֹן׃
It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
כִּי נָבָל נְבָלָה יְדַבֵּר וְלִבּוֹ יַעֲשֶׂה-אָוֶן לַעֲשׂוֹת חֹנֶף וּלְדַבֵּר אֶל-יְהוָה תּוֹעָה לְהָרִיק נֶפֶשׁ רָעֵב וּמַשְׁקֶה צָמֵא יַחְסִֽיר׃
For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
מָֽה-אֲדַבֵּר וְאָֽמַר-לִי וְהוּא עָשָׂה אֶדַּדֶּה כָל-שְׁנוֹתַי עַל-מַר נַפְשִֽׁי׃
What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
הִנֵּה לְשָׁלוֹם מַר-לִי מָר וְאַתָּה חָשַׁקְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשַּׁחַת בְּלִי כִּי הִשְׁלַכְתָּ אַחֲרֵי גֵוְךָ כָּל-חֲטָאָֽי׃
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
הֵן עַבְדִּי אֶתְמָךְ-בּוֹ בְּחִירִי רָצְתָה נַפְשִׁי נָתַתִּי רוּחִי עָלָיו מִשְׁפָּט לַגּוֹיִם יוֹצִֽיא׃
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
מֵאֲשֶׁר יָקַרְתָּ בְעֵינַי נִכְבַּדְתָּ וַאֲנִי אֲהַבְתִּיךָ וְאֶתֵּן אָדָם תַּחְתֶּיךָ וּלְאֻמִּים תַּחַת נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
רֹעֶה אֵפֶר לֵב הוּתַל הִטָּהוּ וְלֹֽא-יַצִּיל אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ וְלֹא יֹאמַר הֲלוֹא שֶׁקֶר בִּימִינִֽי׃
He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
קָרְסוּ כָֽרְעוּ יַחְדָּו לֹא יָכְלוּ מַלֵּט מַשָּׂא וְנַפְשָׁם בַּשְּׁבִי הָלָֽכָה׃
They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
הִנֵּה הָיוּ כְקַשׁ אֵשׁ שְׂרָפָתַם לֹֽא-יַצִּילוּ אֶת-נַפְשָׁם מִיַּד לֶֽהָבָה אֵין-גַּחֶלֶת לַחְמָם אוּר לָשֶׁבֶת נֶגְדּֽוֹ׃
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
כֹּה אָֽמַר-יְהוָה גֹּאֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל קְדוֹשׁוֹ לִבְזֹה-נֶפֶשׁ לִמְתָעֵֽב גּוֹי לְעֶבֶד מֹשְׁלִים מְלָכִים יִרְאוּ וָקָמוּ שָׂרִים וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ לְמַעַן יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר נֶאֱמָן קְדֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּבְחָרֶֽךָּ׃
Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
וְשַׂמְתִּיהָ בְּיַד-מוֹגַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר-אָמְרוּ לְנַפְשֵׁךְ שְׁחִי וְנַעֲבֹרָה וַתָּשִׂימִי כָאָרֶץ גֵּוֵךְ וְכַחוּץ לַעֹבְרִֽים׃
But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
וַיהוָה חָפֵץ דַּכְּאוֹ הֶֽחֱלִי אִם-תָּשִׂים אָשָׁם נַפְשׁוֹ יִרְאֶה זֶרַע יַאֲרִיךְ יָמִים וְחֵפֶץ יְהוָה בְּיָדוֹ יִצְלָֽח׃
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
מֵעֲמַל נַפְשׁוֹ יִרְאֶה יִשְׂבָּע בְּדַעְתּוֹ יַצְדִּיק צַדִּיק עַבְדִּי לָֽרַבִּים וַעֲוֺנֹתָם הוּא יִסְבֹּֽל׃
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
לָכֵן אֲחַלֶּק-לוֹ בָרַבִּים וְאֶת-עֲצוּמִים יְחַלֵּק שָׁלָל תַּחַת אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱרָה לַמָּוֶת נַפְשׁוֹ וְאֶת-פֹּשְׁעִים נִמְנָה וְהוּא חֵטְא-רַבִּים נָשָׂא וְלַפֹּשְׁעִים יַפְגִּֽיעַ׃
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
לָמָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ-כֶסֶף בְּֽלוֹא-לֶחֶם וִיגִיעֲכֶם בְּלוֹא לְשָׂבְעָה שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ אֵלַי וְאִכְלוּ-טוֹב וְתִתְעַנַּג בַּדֶּשֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶֽם׃
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
הַטּוּ אָזְנְכֶם וּלְכוּ אֵלַי שִׁמְעוּ וּתְחִי נַפְשְׁכֶם וְאֶכְרְתָה לָכֶם בְּרִית עוֹלָם חַֽסְדֵי דָוִד הַנֶּאֱמָנִֽים׃
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
וְהַכְּלָבִים עַזֵּי-נֶפֶשׁ לֹא יָֽדְעוּ שָׂבְעָה וְהֵמָּה רֹעִים לֹא יָדְעוּ הָבִין כֻּלָּם לְדַרְכָּם פָּנוּ אִישׁ לְבִצְעוֹ מִקָּצֵֽהוּ׃
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
לָמָּה צַּמְנוּ וְלֹא רָאִיתָ עִנִּינוּ נַפְשֵׁנוּ וְלֹא תֵדָע הֵן בְּיוֹם צֹֽמְכֶם תִּמְצְאוּ-חֵפֶץ וְכָל-עַצְּבֵיכֶם תִּנְגֹּֽשׂוּ׃
Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
הֲכָזֶה יִֽהְיֶה צוֹם אֶבְחָרֵהוּ יוֹם עַנּוֹת אָדָם נַפְשׁוֹ הֲלָכֹף כְּאַגְמֹן רֹאשׁוֹ וְשַׂק וָאֵפֶר יַצִּיעַ הֲלָזֶה תִּקְרָא-צוֹם וְיוֹם רָצוֹן לַיהוָֽה׃
Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
וְתָפֵק לָֽרָעֵב נַפְשֶׁךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ נַעֲנָה תַּשְׂבִּיעַ וְזָרַח בַּחֹשֶׁךְ אוֹרֶךָ וַאֲפֵלָתְךָ כַּֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
וְנָחֲךָ יְהוָה תָּמִיד וְהִשְׂבִּיעַ בְּצַחְצָחוֹת נַפְשֶׁךָ וְעַצְמֹתֶיךָ יַחֲלִיץ וְהָיִיתָ כְּגַן רָוֶה וּכְמוֹצָא מַיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יְכַזְּבוּ מֵימָֽיו׃
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
שׂוֹשׂ אָשִׂישׂ בַּֽיהוָה תָּגֵל נַפְשִׁי בֵּֽאלֹהַי כִּי הִלְבִּישַׁנִי בִּגְדֵי-יֶשַׁע מְעִיל צְדָקָה יְעָטָנִי כֶּֽחָתָן יְכַהֵן פְּאֵר וְכַכַּלָּה תַּעְדֶּה כֵלֶֽיהָ׃
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
שׁוֹחֵט הַשּׁוֹר מַכֵּה-אִישׁ זוֹבֵחַ הַשֶּׂה עֹרֵֽף כֶּלֶב מַעֲלֵה מִנְחָה דַּם-חֲזִיר מַזְכִּיר לְבֹנָה מְבָרֵֽךְ אָוֶן גַּם-הֵמָּה בָּֽחֲרוּ בְּדַרְכֵיהֶם וּבְשִׁקּוּצֵיהֶם נַפְשָׁם חָפֵֽצָה׃
He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
פֶּרֶה׀ לִמֻּד מִדְבָּר בְּאַוַּת (נפשו) נַפְשָׁהּ שָׁאֲפָה רוּחַ תַּאֲנָתָהּ מִי יְשִׁיבֶנָּה כָּל-מְבַקְשֶׁיהָ לֹא יִיעָפוּ בְּחָדְשָׁהּ יִמְצָאֽוּנְהָ׃
A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
גַּם בִּכְנָפַיִךְ נִמְצְאוּ דַּם נַפְשׁוֹת אֶבְיוֹנִים נְקִיִּים לֹֽא-בַמַּחְתֶּרֶת מְצָאתִים כִּי עַל-כָּל-אֵֽלֶּה׃
Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלַי צִדְּקָה נַפְשָׁהּ מְשֻׁבָה יִשְׂרָאֵל מִבֹּגֵדָה יְהוּדָֽה׃
And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
וָאֹמַר אֲהָהּ׀ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אָכֵן הַשֵּׁא הִשֵּׁאתָ לָעָם הַזֶּה וְלִירוּשָׁלִַם לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם יִהְיֶה לָכֶם וְנָגְעָה חֶרֶב עַד-הַנָּֽפֶשׁ׃
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
מֵעַי׀ מֵעַי׀ (אחולה) אוֹחִילָה קִירוֹת לִבִּי הֹֽמֶה-לִּי לִבִּי לֹא אַחֲרִשׁ כִּי קוֹל שׁוֹפָר (שמעתי) שָׁמַעַתְּ נַפְשִׁי תְּרוּעַת מִלְחָמָֽה׃
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
(ואתי) וְאַתְּ שָׁדוּד מַֽה-תַּעֲשִׂי כִּֽי-תִלְבְּשִׁי שָׁנִי כִּי-תַעְדִּי עֲדִי-זָהָב כִּֽי-תִקְרְעִי בַפּוּךְ עֵינַיִךְ לַשָּׁוְא תִּתְיַפִּי מָאֲסוּ-בָךְ עֹגְבִים נַפְשֵׁךְ יְבַקֵּֽשׁוּ׃
And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
כִּי קוֹל כְּחוֹלָה שָׁמַעְתִּי צָרָה כְּמַבְכִּירָה קוֹל בַּת-צִיּוֹן תִּתְיַפֵּחַ תְּפָרֵשׂ כַּפֶּיהָ אֽוֹי-נָא לִי כִּֽי-עָיְפָה נַפְשִׁי לְהֹרְגִֽים׃
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
הַֽעַל-אֵלֶּה לוֹא-אֶפְקֹד נְאֻם-יְהוָֹה וְאִם בְּגוֹי אֲשֶׁר-כָּזֶה לֹא תִתְנַקֵּם נַפְשִֽׁי׃
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
הַֽעַל-אֵלֶּה לֹֽא-אֶפְקֹד נְאֻם-יְהוָֹה אִם בְּגוֹי אֲשֶׁר-כָּזֶה לֹא תִתְנַקֵּם נַפְשִֽׁי׃
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
הִוָּסְרִי יְרוּשָׁלִַם פֶּן-תֵּקַע נַפְשִׁי מִמֵּךְ פֶּן-אֲשִׂימֵךְ שְׁמָמָה אֶרֶץ לוֹא נוֹשָֽׁבָה׃
Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה עִמְדוּ עַל-דְּרָכִים וּרְאוּ וְשַׁאֲלוּ׀ לִנְתִבוֹת עוֹלָם אֵי-זֶה דֶרֶךְ הַטּוֹב וּלְכוּ-בָהּ וּמִצְאוּ מַרְגּוֹעַ לְנַפְשְׁכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא נֵלֵֽךְ׃
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
הַעַל-אֵלֶּה לֹֽא-אֶפְקָד-בָּם נְאֻם-יְהוָה אִם בְּגוֹי אֲשֶׁר-כָּזֶה לֹא תִתְנַקֵּם נַפְשִֽׁי׃
Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
לָכֵן כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה עַל-אַנְשֵׁי עֲנָתוֹת הַֽמְבַקְשִׁים אֶֽת-נַפְשְׁךָ לֵאמֹר לֹא תִנָּבֵא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה וְלֹא תָמוּת בְּיָדֵֽנוּ׃
Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
עָזַבְתִּי אֶת-בֵּיתִי נָטַשְׁתִּי אֶת-נַחֲלָתִי נָתַתִּי אֶת-יְדִדוּת נַפְשִׁי בְּכַף אֹיְבֶֽיהָ׃
I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
וְאִם לֹא תִשְׁמָעוּהָ בְּמִסְתָּרִים תִּבְכֶּֽה-נַפְשִׁי מִפְּנֵי גֵוָה וְדָמֹעַ תִּדְמַע וְתֵרַד עֵינִי דִּמְעָה כִּי נִשְׁבָּה עֵדֶר יְהוָֽה׃
But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
הֲמָאֹס מָאַסְתָּ אֶת-יְהוּדָה אִם-בְּצִיּוֹן גָּעֲלָה נַפְשֶׁךָ מַדּוּעַ הִכִּיתָנוּ וְאֵין לָנוּ מַרְפֵּא קַוֵּה לְשָׁלוֹם וְאֵין טוֹב וּלְעֵת מַרְפֵּא וְהִנֵּה בְעָתָֽה׃
Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלַי אִם-יַעֲמֹד מֹשֶׁה וּשְׁמוּאֵל לְפָנַי אֵין נַפְשִׁי אֶל-הָעָם הַזֶּה שַׁלַּח מֵֽעַל-פָּנַי וְיֵצֵֽאוּ׃
Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast out them of my sight, and let them go forth.
אֻמְלְלָה יֹלֶדֶת הַשִּׁבְעָה נָפְחָה נַפְשָׁהּ (באה) בָּא שִׁמְשָׁהּ בְּעֹד יוֹמָם בּוֹשָׁה וְחָפֵרָה וּשְׁאֵֽרִיתָם לַחֶרֶב אֶתֵּן לִפְנֵי אֹיְבֵיהֶם נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִשָּׁמְרוּ בְּנַפְשֽׁוֹתֵיכֶם וְאַל-תִּשְׂאוּ מַשָּׂא בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת וַהֲבֵאתֶם בְּשַׁעֲרֵי יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
הַיְשֻׁלַּם תַּֽחַת-טוֹבָה רָעָה כִּֽי-כָרוּ שׁוּחָה לְנַפְשִׁי זְכֹר׀ עָמְדִי לְפָנֶיךָ לְדַבֵּר עֲלֵיהֶם טוֹבָה לְהָשִׁיב אֶת-חֲמָתְךָ מֵהֶֽם׃
Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
וּבַקֹּתִי אֶת-עֲצַת יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְהִפַּלְתִּים בַּחֶרֶב לִפְנֵי אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-נִבְלָתָם לְמַֽאֲכָל לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּלְבֶהֱמַת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
וְהַֽאֲכַלְתִּים אֶת-בְּשַׂר בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֵת בְּשַׂר בְּנֹתֵיהֶם וְאִישׁ בְּשַׂר-רֵעֵהוּ יֹאכֵלוּ בְּמָצוֹר וּבְמָצוֹק אֲשֶׁר יָצִיקוּ לָהֶם אֹיְבֵיהֶם וּמְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָֽׁם׃
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה הַֽלְלוּ אֶת-יְהוָה כִּי הִצִּיל אֶת-נֶפֶשׁ אֶבְיוֹן מִיַּד מְרֵעִֽים׃
Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
וְאַחֲרֵי-כֵן נְאֻם-יְהוָה אֶתֵּן אֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וְאֶת-עֲבָדָיו׀ וְאֶת-הָעָם וְאֶת-הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת מִן-הַדֶּבֶר׀ מִן-הַחֶרֶב וּמִן-הָרָעָב בְּיַד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וּבְיַד אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם וְהִכָּם לְפִי-חֶרֶב לֹֽא-יָחוּס עֲלֵיהֶם וְלֹא יַחְמֹל וְלֹא יְרַחֵֽם׃
And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת יָמוּת בַּחֶרֶב וּבָרָעָב וּבַדָּבֶר וְהַיּוֹצֵא וְנָפַל עַל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים הַצָּרִים עֲלֵיכֶם (יחיה) וְחָיָה וְהָֽיְתָה-לּוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ לְשָׁלָֽל׃
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
וּנְתַתִּיךָ בְּיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשֶׁךָ וּבְיַד אֲשֶׁר-אַתָּה יָגוֹר מִפְּנֵיהֶם וּבְיַד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וּבְיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּֽים׃
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
וְעַל-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר-הֵם מְנַשְּׂאִים אֶת-נַפְשָׁם לָשׁוּב שָׁם שָׁמָּה לֹא יָשֽׁוּבוּ׃
But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
הֶהָמֵת הֱמִתֻהוּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וְכָל-יְהוּדָה הֲלֹא יָרֵא אֶת-יְהוָה וַיְחַל אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה וַיִּנָּחֶם יְהוָה אֶל-הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר-דִּבֶּר עֲלֵיהֶם וַאֲנַחְנוּ עֹשִׂים רָעָה גְדוֹלָה עַל-נַפְשׁוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
וּבָאוּ וְרִנְּנוּ בִמְרוֹם-צִיּוֹן וְנָהֲרוּ אֶל-טוּב יְהוָה עַל-דָּגָן וְעַל-תִּירֹשׁ וְעַל-יִצְהָר וְעַל-בְּנֵי-צֹאן וּבָקָר וְהָיְתָה נַפְשָׁם כְּגַן רָוֶה וְלֹא-יוֹסִיפוּ לְדַאֲבָה עֽוֹד׃
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
וְרִוֵּיתִי נֶפֶשׁ הַכֹּהֲנִים דָּשֶׁן וְעַמִּי אֶת-טוּבִי יִשְׂבָּעוּ נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.
כִּי הִרְוֵיתִי נֶפֶשׁ עֲיֵפָה וְכָל-נֶפֶשׁ דָּאֲבָה מִלֵּֽאתִי׃
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
וְשַׂשְׂתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם לְהֵטִיב אוֹתָם וּנְטַעְתִּים בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת בֶּאֱמֶת בְּכָל-לִבִּי וּבְכָל-נַפְשִֽׁי׃
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
וַתָּשֻׁבוּ וַתְּחַלְּלוּ אֶת-שְׁמִי וַתָּשִׁבוּ אִישׁ אֶת-עַבְדּוֹ וְאִישׁ אֶת-שִׁפְחָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר-שִׁלַּחְתֶּם חָפְשִׁים לְנַפְשָׁם וַתִּכְבְּשׁוּ אֹתָם לִֽהְיוֹת לָכֶם לַעֲבָדִים וְלִשְׁפָחֽוֹת׃
But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
וְנָתַתִּי אוֹתָם בְּיַד אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם וְהָיְתָה נִבְלָתָם לְמַֽאֲכָל לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּלְבֶהֱמַת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
וְאֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וְאֶת-שָׂרָיו אֶתֵּן בְּיַד אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם וּבְיַד חֵיל מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל הָעֹלִים מֵעֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
כֹּה׀ אָמַר יְהוָה אַל-תַּשִּׁאוּ נַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם לֵאמֹר הָלֹךְ יֵלְכוּ מֵעָלֵינוּ הַכַּשְׂדִּים כִּי-לֹא יֵלֵֽכוּ׃
Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת יָמוּת בַּחֶרֶב בָּרָעָב וּבַדָּבֶר וְהַיֹּצֵא אֶל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים (יחיה) וְחָיָה וְהָיְתָה-לּוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ לְשָׁלָל וָחָֽי׃
Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
וַיִּשָּׁבַע הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ אֶֽל-יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּסֵּתֶר לֵאמֹר חַי-יְהוָה (את) אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה-לָנוּ אֶת-הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַזֹּאת אִם-אֲמִיתֶךָ וְאִם-אֶתֶּנְךָ בְּיַד הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר מְבַקְשִׁים אֶת-נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃
So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
