Job 29
| |
| 29:1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, |
|
| 29:2
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; |
|
| 29:3
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked
through darkness; |
|
| 29:4
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my
tabernacle; |
|
| 29:5
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; |
|
| 29:6
When I washed my steps
with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; |
When things were going well for Job he washed
his steps with butter and rocks poured out rivers of oil.
|
| 29:7
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in
the street! |
|
| 29:8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood
up. |
|
| 29:9
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. |
|
| 29:10
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their
mouth. |
|
| 29:11
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it
gave witness to me: |
|
| 29:12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that
had none to help him. |
|
| 29:13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused
the widow's heart to sing for joy. |
|
| 29:14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a
diadem. |
|
| 29:15
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. |
|
| 29:16
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. |
|
| 29:17
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his
teeth. |
|
| 29:18
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the
sand. |
|
| 29:19
My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my
branch. |
|
| 29:20
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. |
|
| 29:21
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. |
|
| 29:22
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. |
|
| 29:23
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide
as for the latter rain. |
|
| 29:24
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my
countenance they cast not down. |
|
| 29:25
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as
one that comforteth the mourners.
