H2005–הֵן–hen

And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.

הִנּ֣וֹ (הִנּ֣) hi.N “there”

Truly, he puts no faith in his servants, and he sees error in his angels;

הֵ֣ן hen “there!”

Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.

הֶן־ hen- “there!”

Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.

הֶן־ hen- “there!”

See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.

הֵ֤ן hen “there!”

If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?

הֵ֣ן hen “there!”

Truly, there is no building up of what is pulled down by him; when a man is shut up by him, no one may let him loose.

הֵ֣ן hen “there!”

Truly, he keeps back the waters and they are dry; he sends them out and the earth is overturned.

הֵ֤ן hen “there!”

Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.

הֶן־ hen- “there!”

Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;

הֵ֣ן hen “there!”

Truly, he puts no faith in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes;

הֵ֣ן hen “there!”

Truly, I make an outcry against the violent man, but there is no answer: I give a cry for help, but no one takes up my cause.

הֵ֤ן hen “there!”

Truly, is not their well-being in their power? (The purpose of the evil-doers is far from me.)

הֵ֤ן hen “there!”

See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me;

הֵ֣ן hen “here!”

See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;

הֵ֤ן hen “here!”

Like asses in the waste land they go out to their work, looking for food with care; from the waste land they get bread for their children.

הֵ֤ן hen “there!”

See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:

הֵ֣ן hen “there!”

See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.

הֶן־ hen- “there!”

Truly, you have all seen it yourselves; why then have you become completely foolish?

הֵן־ hen- “there!”

And he said to man, Truly the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to keep from evil is the way to knowledge.

הֵ֤ן hen “here!”

If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

הֶן־ hen- “here!”

I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,

הֵ֤ן hen “here!”

See, I am the same as you are in the eyes of God; I was cut off from the same bit of wet earth.

הֵן־ hen- “here!”

See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;

הֵ֣ן hen “here!”

Truly, in saying this you are wrong; for God is greater than man.

הֶן־ hen- “here!”
