@ Moreover
Job
continued
his
parable
, and
said
,
strkjv@Job:29:2
@ Oh
that
I were as in
months
past
, as in the
days
when
God
preserved
me;
strkjv@Job:29:3
@ When his
candle
shined
upon my
head
, and when by his
light
I
walked
through
darkness
;
strkjv@Job:29:4
@ As I was in the
days
of my
youth
, when the
secret
of
God
was upon my
tabernacle
;
strkjv@Job:29:5
@ When the
Almighty
was yet with me, when my
children
were
about
me;
strkjv@Job:29:6
@ When I
washed
my
steps
with
butter
, and the
rock
poured me
out
rivers
of
oil
;
strkjv@Job:29:7
@ When I went
out
to the
gate
through the
city
, when I
prepared
my
seat
in the
street
!
strkjv@Job:29:8
@ The young
men
saw
me, and
hid
themselves: and the
aged
arose
, and stood
up
.
strkjv@Job:29:9
@ The
princes
refrained
talking
, and
laid
their
hand
on their
mouth
.
strkjv@Job:29:10
@ The
nobles
held
their
peace
, and their
tongue
cleaved
to the roof of their
mouth
.
strkjv@Job:29:11
@ When the
ear
heard
me, then it
blessed
me; and when the
eye
saw
me, it gave
witness
to me:
strkjv@Job:29:12
@ Because I
delivered
the
poor
that
cried
, and the
fatherless
, and him that had none to
help
him.
strkjv@Job:29:13
@ The
blessing
of him that was ready to
perish
came
upon me: and I caused the
widows
heart
to sing for
joy
.
strkjv@Job:29:14
@ I
put
on
righteousness
, and it
clothed
me: my
judgment
was as a
robe
and a
diadem
.
strkjv@Job:29:15
@ I was
eyes
to the
blind
, and
feet
was I to the
lame
.
strkjv@Job:29:16
@ I was a
father
to the
poor
: and the
cause
which I
knew
not I searched
out
.
strkjv@Job:29:17
@ And I
brake
the
jaws
of the
wicked
, and
plucked
the
spoil
out of his
teeth
.
strkjv@Job:29:18
@ Then I
said
, I shall
die
in my
nest
, and I shall
multiply
my
days
as the
sand
.
strkjv@Job:29:19
@ My
root
was spread
out
by the
waters
, and the
dew
lay all
night
upon my
branch
.
strkjv@Job:29:20
@ My
glory
was
fresh
in
me
, and my
bow
was
renewed
in my
hand
.
strkjv@Job:29:21
@ Unto me men gave
ear
, and
waited
, and kept
silence
at
my
counsel
.
strkjv@Job:29:22
@
After
my
words
they spake not
again
; and my
speech
dropped
upon them.
strkjv@Job:29:23
@ And they
waited
for me as for the
rain
; and they
opened
their
mouth
wide as for the latter
rain
.
strkjv@Job:29:24
@ If I
laughed
on them, they
believed
it not; and the
light
of my
countenance
they cast not
down
.
strkjv@Job:29:25
@ I
chose
out their
way
, and
sat
chief
, and
dwelt
as a
king
in the
army
, as one that
comforteth
the
mourners
.
