    Job 29
    •   Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
    •   Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?
    •   When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?
    •   As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?
    •   When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?
    •   When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?
    •   When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?
    •   The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.
    •   The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.
    • 10   The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.
    • 11   The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:
    • 12   Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless, that had no helper.
    • 13   The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.
    • 14   I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.
    • 15   I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.
    • 16   I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.
    • 17   I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.
    • 18   And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.
    • 19   My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.
    • 20   My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.
    • 21   They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.
    • 22   To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.
    • 23   They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.
    • 24   If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.
    • 25   If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.
