    Job 29
    • 1   Moreover 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 candle shined on my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
    • 4   As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was on my tabernacle;
    • 5   When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
    • 6   When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
    • 7   When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
    • 8   The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
    • 9   The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
    • 10   The nobles held their peace, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
    • 11   When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
    • 12   Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
    • 13   The blessing of him that was ready to perish came on me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
    • 14   I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
    • 15   I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
    • 16   I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
    • 17   And I broke the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
    • 18   Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
    • 19   My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night on my branch.
    • 20   My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
    • 21   To me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
    • 22   After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped on 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 the light of my countenance they cast not down.
    • 25   I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelled as a king in the army, as one that comforts the mourners.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
