dourh - 29

dourh@Job:29:1 @ Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:

dourh@Job:29:2 @ Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?

dourh@Job:29:3 @ When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?

dourh@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?

dourh@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?

dourh@Job:29:6 @ When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?

dourh@Job:29:7 @ When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?

dourh@Job:29:8 @ The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.

dourh@Job:29:9 @ The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.

dourh@Job:29:10 @ The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.

dourh@Job:29:11 @ The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:

dourh@Job:29:12 @ Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless that had no helper.

dourh@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.

dourh@Job:29:14 @ I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.

dourh@Job:29:15 @ I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.

dourh@Job:29:16 @ I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.

dourh@Job:29:17 @ I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.

dourh@Job:29:18 @ And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.

dourh@Job:29:19 @ My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.

dourh@Job:29:20 @ My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.

dourh@Job:29:21 @ They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.

dourh@Job:29:22 @ To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.

dourh@Job:29:23 @ They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.

dourh@Job:29:24 @ If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.

dourh@Job:29:25 @ 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.
