The Book of Job

Chapter 29

1.

And Job continued his parable and said,

2.

Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when +God preserved me;

3.

When his lamp shone over my head, [and] by his light I walked through darkness;

4.

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret counsel of +God was over my tent,

5.

When the Almighty was yet with me, my young men round about me;

6.

When my steps were bathed in milk, and the rock poured out beside me rivers of oil! ...

7.

When I went out to the gate by the city, when I prepared my seat on the broadway,

8.

The young men saw me, and hid themselves; and the aged arose [and] stood up;

9.

Princes refrained from talking, and laid the hand on their mouth;

10.

The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to their palate.

11.

When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me, and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me;

12.

For I delivered the afflicted that cried, and the fatherless who had no helper.

13.

The blessing of him that was perishing came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

14.

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was as a mantle and a turban.

15.

I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame;

16.

I was a father to the needy, and the cause which I knew not I searched out;

17.

And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

18.

And I said, I shall die in my nest, and multiply my days as the sand;

19.

My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew will lie all night on my branch;

20.

My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow be renewed in my hand.

21.

Unto me they listened, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel:

22.

After my words they spoke not again, and my speech dropped upon them;

23.

And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

24.

[If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and they troubled not the serenity of my countenance.

25.

I chose their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth mourners.
