Job - Chapter: 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;
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.


29:1	So Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
29:2	Oh that I were as in times past, when God preserued me!
29:3	When his light shined vpon mine head: and when by his light I walked thorowe the darkenesse,
29:4	As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle:
29:5	When the almightie was yet with me, and my children round about me.
29:6	When I washed my pathes with butter, and when the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:
29:7	When I went out to the gate, euen to the iudgement seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seate in the streete.
29:8	The yong men saw me, and hid themselues, and the aged arose, and stood vp.
29:9	The princes stayed talke, and layde their hand on their mouth.
29:10	The voyce of princes was hidde, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
29:11	And when the eare heard me, it blessed me: and when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse to me.
29:12	For I deliuered the poore that cryed, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
29:13	The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce.
29:14	I put on iustice, and it couered me: my iudgement was as a robe, and a crowne.
29:15	I was the eyes to the blinde, and I was the feete to the lame.
29:16	I was a father vnto the poore, and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
29:17	I brake also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth.
29:18	Then I sayde, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
29:19	For my roote is spread out by the water, and the dewe shall lye vpon my branche.
29:20	My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand.
29:21	Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.
29:22	After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.
29:23	And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.
29:24	If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.
29:25	I appoynted out their way, and did sit as chiefe, and dwelt as a King in the army, and like him that comforteth the mourners.
