    Job 29
    • 1   And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: --
    • 2   Who doth make me as in months past, As in the days of God's preserving me?
    • 3   In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk through darkness.
    • 4   As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
    • 5   When yet the Mighty One is with me. Round about me--my young ones,
    • 6   When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock is with me rivulets of oil.
    • 7   When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.
    • 8   Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged have risen--they stood up.
    • 9   Princes have kept in words, And a hand they place on their mouth.
    • 10   The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved.
    • 11   For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye hath seen, and testifieth to me.
    • 12   For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper.
    • 13   The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing.
    • 14   Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.
    • 15   Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame am I.
    • 16   A father I am to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.
    • 17   And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.
    • 18   And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.'
    • 19   My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch.
    • 20   My honour is fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed.
    • 21   To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
    • 22   After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop,
    • 23   And they wait as for rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide As for the latter rain.
    • 24   I laugh unto them--they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.
    • 25   I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort.
