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