Job chapter 29

Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
Moreover JobH347 continuedH3254 his parable,H4912 and said,H559
2
Oh that I were as in monthsH3391 past,H6924 as in the daysH3117 when GodH433 preservedH8104 me;
3
When his candleH5216 shinedH1984 on my head,H7218 and when by his lightH216 I walkedH3212 through darkness;H2822
4
As I was in the daysH3117 of my youth,H2779 when the secretH5475 of GodH433 was on my tabernacle;H168
5
WhenH5750 the AlmightyH7706 was yetH5750 with me, when my childrenH5288 were aboutH5439 me;
6
When I washedH7364 my stepsH1978 with butter,H2529 and the rockH6697 pouredH6694 me out riversH6388 of oil;H8081
7
When I wentH3318 out to the gateH8179 throughH5921 the city,H7176 when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the street!H7339
8
The youngH5288 men sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves: and the agedH2205 arose,H6965 and stoodH5975 up.
9
The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 talking,H4405 and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouth.H6310
10
The noblesH5057 heldH2244 their peace,H6963 and their tongueH3956 stuckH1692 to the roofH2441 of their mouth.H2441
11
WhenH3588 the earH241 heardH8085 me, then it blessedH833 me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 me, it gave witnessH5749 to me:
12
BecauseH3588 I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that cried,H7768 and the fatherless,H3490 and him that had noneH3808 to helpH5826 him.
13
The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 on me: and I caused the widow'sH490 heartH3820 to singH7442 for joy.H7442
14
I putH3847 on righteousness,H6664 and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diadem.H6797
15
I was eyesH5869 to the blind,H5787 and feetH7272 was I to the lame.H6455
16
I was a fatherH1 to the poor:H34 and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searchedH2713 out.
17
And I brokeH7665 the jawsH4973 of the wicked,H5767 and pluckedH7993 the spoilH2964 out of his teeth.H8127
18
Then I said,H559 I shall dieH1478 in my nest,H7064 and I shall multiplyH7235 my daysH3117 as the sand.H2344
19
My rootH8328 was spreadH6605 out by the waters,H4325 and the dewH2919 layH3885 allH3885 night on my branch.H7105
20
My gloryH3519 was freshH2319 in me, and my bowH7198 was renewedH2498 in my hand.H3027
21
To me men gave ear,H8085 and waited,H3176 and kept silenceH1826 atH3926 my counsel.H6098
22
AfterH310 my wordsH1697 they spoke not again;H8138 and my speechH4405 droppedH5197 on them.
23
And they waitedH3176 for me as for the rain;H4306 and they openedH6473 their mouthH6310 wide as for the latterH4456 rain.H4456
24
If I laughedH7832 onH413 them, they believedH539 it not; and the lightH216 of my countenanceH6440 they castH5307 not down.H5307
25
I choseH977 out their way,H1870 and satH3427 chief,H7218 and dwelledH7931 as a kingH4428 in the army,H1416 as one that comfortsH5162 the mourners.H57
