Job 29:1-25

Moreover Job
<0347>
continued
<03254> (8686) <05375> (8800)
his parable
<04912>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
{continued: Heb. added to take up}
Oh that
<05414> (8799)
I were as [in] months
<03391>
past
<06924>_,
as [in] the days
<03117>
[when] God
<0433>
preserved
<08104> (8799)
me;
When his candle
<05216>
shined
<01984> (8800)
upon my head
<07218>_,
[and when] by his light
<0216>
I walked
<03212> (8799)
[through] darkness
<02822>_;
{candle: or, lamp}
As I was in the days
<03117>
of my youth
<02779>_,
when the secret
<05475>
of God
<0433>
[was] upon my tabernacle
<0168>_;
When the Almighty
<07706>
[was] yet with me, [when] my children
<05288>
[were] about
<05439>
me;
When I washed
<07364> (8800)
my steps
<01978>
with butter
<02529>_,
and the rock
<06697>
poured me out
<06694> (8799)
rivers
<06388>
of oil
<08081>_;
{me: Heb. with me}
When I went out
<03318> (8800)
to the gate
<08179>
through the city
<07176>_,
[when] I prepared
<03559> (8686)
my seat
<04186>
in the street
<07339>_!
The young men
<05288>
saw
<07200> (8804)
me, and hid
<02244> (8738)
themselves: and the aged
<03453>
arose
<06965> (8804)_,
[and] stood up
<05975> (8804)_.
The princes
<08269>
refrained
<06113> (8804)
talking
<04405>_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
[their] hand
<03709>
on their mouth
<06310>_.
The nobles
<05057>
held
<02244> (8738)
their peace
<06963>_,
and their tongue
<03956>
cleaved
<01692> (8804)
to the roof of their mouth
<02441>_.
{The nobles...: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}
When the ear
<0241>
heard
<08085> (8804)
[me], then it blessed
<0833> (8762)
me; and when the eye
<05869>
saw
<07200> (8804)
[me], it gave witness
<05749> (8686)
to me:
Because I delivered
<04422> (8762)
the poor
<06041>
that cried
<07768> (8764)_,
and the fatherless
<03490>_,
and [him that had] none to help
<05826> (8802)
him.
The blessing
<01293>
of him that was ready to perish
<06> (8802)
came
<0935> (8799)
upon me: and I caused the widow's
<0490>
heart
<03820>
to sing for joy
<07442> (8686)_.
I put
<03847> (8804)
on righteousness
<06664>_,
and it clothed
<03847> (8799)
me: my judgment
<04941>
[was] as a robe
<04598>
and a diadem
<06797>_.
I was eyes
<05869>
to the blind
<05787>_,
and feet
<07272>
[was] I to the lame
<06455>_.
I [was] a father
<01>
to the poor
<034>_:
and the cause
<07379>
[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)
not I searched out
<02713> (8799)_.
And I brake
<07665> (8762)
the jaws
<04973>
of the wicked
<05767>_,
and plucked
<07993> (8686)
the spoil
<02964>
out of his teeth
<08127>_.
{the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}
Then I said
<0559> (8799)_,
I shall die
<01478> (8799)
in my nest
<07064>_,
and I shall multiply
<07235> (8686)
[my] days
<03117>
as the sand
<02344>_.
My root
<08328>
[was] spread out
<06605> (8803)
by the waters
<04325>_,
and the dew
<02919>
lay all night
<03885> (8799)
upon my branch
<07105>_.
{spread...: Heb. opened}
My glory
<03519>
[was] fresh
<02319>
in me
<05978>_,
and my bow
<07198>
was renewed
<02498> (8686)
in my hand
<03027>_.
{fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}
Unto me [men] gave ear
<08085> (8804)_,
and waited
<03176> (8765)_,
and kept silence
<01826> (8799)
at
<03926>
my counsel
<06098>_.
After
<0310>
my words
<01697>
they spake not again
<08138> (8799)_;
and my speech
<04405>
dropped
<05197> (8799)
upon them.
And they waited
<03176> (8765)
for me as for the rain
<04306>_;
and they opened
<06473> (8804)
their mouth
<06310>
wide [as] for the latter rain
<04456>_.
[If] I laughed
<07832> (8799)
on them, they believed
<0539> (8686)
[it] not; and the light
<0216>
of my countenance
<06440>
they cast not down
<05307> (8686)_.
I chose
<0977> (8799)
out their way
<01870>_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
chief
<07218>_,
and dwelt
<07931> (8799)
as a king
<04428>
in the army
<01416>_,
as one [that] comforteth
<05162> (8762)
the mourners
<057>_.
