Job 29 (kjv)

Moreover Job^H347 continued^{H3254 H5375} his parable^H4912, and said^H559,²Oh that^H5414 I were as in months^H3391 past^H6924, as in the days^H3117 when God^H433 preserved^H8104 me;³When his candle^H5216 shined^H1984 upon my head^H7218, and when by his light^H216 I walked^H3212 through darkness^H2822;⁴As I was in the days^H3117 of my youth^H2779, when the secret^H5475 of God^H433 was upon my tabernacle^H168;⁵When the Almighty^H7706 was yet with me, when my children^H5288 were about^H5439 me;⁶When I washed^H7364 my steps^H1978 with butter^H2529, and the rock^H6697 poured me out^H6694 rivers^H6388 of oil^H8081;⁷When I went out^H3318 to the gate^H8179 through the city^H7176, when I prepared^H3559 my seat^H4186 in the street^H7339!⁸The young men^H5288 saw^H7200 me, and hid^H2244 themselves: and the aged^H3453 arose^H6965, and stood up^H5975.⁹The princes^H8269 refrained^H6113 talking^H4405, and laid^H7760 their hand^H3709 on their mouth^H6310.¹⁰The nobles^H5057 held^H2244 their peace^H6963, and their tongue^H3956 cleaved^H1692 to the roof of their mouth^H2441.¹¹When the ear^H241 heard^H8085 me, then it blessed^H833 me; and when the eye^H5869 saw^H7200 me, it gave witness^H5749 to me:¹²Because I delivered^H4422 the poor^H6041 that cried^H7768, and the fatherless^H3490, and him that had none to help^H5826 him.¹³The blessing^H1293 of him that was ready to perish^H6 came^H935 upon me: and I caused the widow's^H490 heart^H3820 to sing for joy^H7442.¹⁴I put^H3847 on righteousness^H6664, and it clothed^H3847 me: my judgment^H4941 was as a robe^H4598 and a diadem^H6797.¹⁵I was eyes^H5869 to the blind^H5787, and feet^H7272 was I to the lame^H6455.¹⁶I was a father^H1 to the poor^H34: and the cause^H7379 which I knew^H3045 not I searched out^H2713.¹⁷And I brake^H7665 the jaws^H4973 of the wicked^H5767, and plucked^H7993 the spoil^H2964 out of his teeth^H8127.¹⁸Then I said^H559, I shall die^H1478 in my nest^H7064, and I shall multiply^H7235 my days^H3117 as the sand^H2344.¹⁹My root^H8328 was spread out^H6605 by the waters^H4325, and the dew^H2919 lay all night^H3885 upon my branch^H7105.²⁰My glory^H3519 was fresh^H2319 in me^H5978, and my bow^H7198 was renewed^H2498 in my hand^H3027.²¹Unto me men gave ear^H8085, and waited^H3176, and kept silence^H1826 at^H3926 my counsel^H6098.²²After^H310 my words^H1697 they spake not again^H8138; and my speech^H4405 dropped^H5197 upon them.²³And they waited^H3176 for me as for the rain^H4306; and they opened^H6473 their mouth^H6310 wide as for the latter rain^H4456.²⁴If I laughed^H7832 on them, they believed^H539 it not; and the light^H216 of my countenance^H6440 they cast not down^H5307.²⁵I chose^H977 out their way^H1870, and sat^H3427 chief^H7218, and dwelt^H7931 as a king^H4428 in the army^H1416, as one that comforteth^H5162 the mourners^H57.
