Job 29

strkjv@Job:29:1 @ 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.
