| 29:1 | Moreover Job |
And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: -- |
| 29:2 | Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; | Who doth make me as `in' months past, As `in' the days of God's preserving me? |
| 29:3 | When his |
In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk `through' darkness. |
| 29:4 | As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle; | As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent. |
| 29:5 | When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; | When yet the Mighty One `is' with me. Round about me -- my young ones, |
| 29:6 | When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured |
When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock `is' with me rivulets of oil. |
| 29:7 | When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street! | When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat. |
| 29:8 | The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up. | Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged have risen -- they stood up. |
| 29:9 | The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. | Princes have kept in words, And a hand they place on their mouth. |
| 29:10 | The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved. | |
| 29:11 | When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: | For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye hath seen, and testifieth `to' me. |
| 29:12 | Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. | For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper. |
| 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. | The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing. |
| 29:14 | I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. | Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice. |
| 29:15 | I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. | Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame `am' I. |
| 29:16 | I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. | A father I `am' to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out. |
| 29:17 | And I brake |
And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey. |
| 29:18 | Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand. | And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.' |
| 29:19 | My root was |
My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch. |
| 29:20 | My glory was |
My honour `is' fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed. |
| 29:21 | Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. | To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel. |
| 29:22 | After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. | After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop, |
| 29:23 | And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain. | And they wait as `for' rain for me, And their mouth they have opened 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. | I laugh unto them -- they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall. |
| 29:25 | I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners. | I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort. |
