Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:1 - And Job again took up his parable, and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:2 -
Oh that I were as in the months of old,
As in the days when God watched over me;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:3 -
When his lamp shined upon my head,
And by his light I walked through darkness;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:4 -
As I was in the ripeness of my days,
When the friendship of God was upon my tent;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:5 -
When the Almighty was yet with me,
And my children were about me;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:6 -
When my steps were washed with butter,
And the rock poured me out streams of oil!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:7 -
When I went forth to the gate unto the city,
When I prepared my seat in the street,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:8 -
The young men saw me and hid themselves,
And the aged rose up and stood;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:9 -
The princes refrained from talking,
And laid their hand on their mouth;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:10 -
The voice of the nobles was hushed,
And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:11 -
For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me;
And when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:12 -
Because I delivered the poor that cried,
The fatherless also, that had none to help him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:14 -
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me:
My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:15 -
I was eyes to the blind,
And feet was I to the lame.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:16 -
I was a father to the needy:
And the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:17 -
And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous,
And plucked the prey out of his teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:18 -
Then I said, I shall die in my nest,
And I shall multiply my days as the sand:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:19 -
My root is spread out to the waters,
And the dew lieth all night upon my branch:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:20 -
My glory is fresh in me,
And my bow is renewed in my hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:21 -
Unto me men gave ear, and waited,
And kept silence for my counsel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:22 -
After my words they spake not again;
And my speech distilled upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:23 -
And they waited for me as for the rain;
And they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:24 -
I smiled on them, when they had no confidence;
And the light of my countenance they cast not down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:25 -
I chose out their way, and sat as chief,
And dwelt as a king in the army,
As one that comforteth the mourners.
