Job  29 King James Bible (1769) | 25 versitos |
1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

Chapter XXIX.

Iob bemoaneth himselfe, of his former prosperitie and honour.
1 Moreouer Iob [ Hebrew: added to take vp.] continued his parable, and said,
2 O that I were as in moneths past, as in the dayes when God preserued me.
3 When his [ Or; Lampe.] candle shined vpon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkenesse:
4 As I was in the dayes of my youth, when the secret of God was vpon my tabernacle:
5 When the Almightie was yet with me, when my children were about me:
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rocke powred [ Hebrew: with me.] me out riuers of oyle:
7 When I went out to the gate, through the citie, when I prepared my seate in the street.

[Iobs former prosperitie, and present miserie.]

8 The yong men saw me, and hid themselues: and the aged arose, and stood vp.
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 [ Hebrew: the voice of the nobles was hid.] The Nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
11 When the eare heard mee, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gaue witnesse to me:
12 Because I deliuered the poore that cried, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
13 The blessing of him that was readie to perish, came vpon me: and I caused the widowes heart to sing for ioy.
14 I put on righteousnesse, and it clothed me: my iudgement was as a robe and a diademe.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poore: and the cause which I knewe not, I searched out.
17 And I brake the [ Hebrew: the iaw teeth or the grinders.] iawes of the wicked, and [ Hebrew: I cast.] pluckt the spoile out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
19 My roote was [ Hebrew: opened.] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night vpon my branch.
20 My glory was [ Hebrew: new.] fresh in mee, and my bow was [ Hebrew: changed.] renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gaue eare, and waited, and kept silence at my counsell.
22 After my words they spake not againe, & my speach dropped vpon them,
23 And they waited for me as for the raine, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter raine.
24 If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not, and the light of my countenance they cast not downe.
25 I chose out their way, and sate chiefe, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
