rsv Job:29:1-10
rsv@Job:29:1 @ And Job again took up his discourse, and said:
rsv@Job:29:2 @ "Oh, that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
rsv@Job:29:3 @ when his lamp shone upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness;
rsv@Job:29:4 @ as I was in my autumn days, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
rsv@Job:29:5 @ when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
rsv@Job:29:6 @ when my steps were washed with milk, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
rsv@Job:29:7 @ When I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the square,
rsv@Job:29:8 @ the young men saw me and withdrew, and the aged rose and stood;
rsv@Job:29:9 @ the princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;
rsv@Job:29:10 @ the voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
