Job 29

1 And he repeated Job to take up discourse his and he said.

2 Who? will he give me like months of long ago like [the] days [when] God he watched over me.

3 When made shine he lamp his over head my to light his I walked darkness.

4 Just as I was in [the] days of prime my in [the] intimacy of God on tent my.

5 While still [the] Almighty [was] with me [were] around me lads my.

6 When bathed steps my in curd and a rock it poured out beside me streams of oil.

7 When went out I [the] gate on [the] town in the public square I prepared seat my.

8 They saw me young men and they hid themselves and old [men] they rose they stood.

9 Chiefs they restrained words and a hand they put to mouth their.

10 [the] voice of Nobles they were hidden and tongue their to palate their it stuck.

11 For an ear it heard and it called blessed me and an eye it saw and it bore witness to me.

12 That I rescued [the] afflicted [who] cried for help and [the] fatherless and [the one whom] not a helper [belonged] to him.

13 [the] blessing of [one] about to perish On me it came and [the] heart of a widow I made sing for joy.

14 Righteousness I put on and it clothed me [was] like a robe and a turban justice my.

15 Eyes I was to the blind and [was] feet to the lame I.

16 [was] a father I to the needy [people] and a case at law of [the one whom] not I knew I investigated it.

17 And I broke! [the] jaws of [the] unrighteous and from teeth his I threw [the] prey.

18 And I said with nest my I will expire and like sand I will increase days.

19 Root my [is] opened to water and dew it will remain overnight on branch[es] my.

20 Honor my [is] new with me and bow my in hand my it will show newness.

21 To me people listened and they waited and they may be silent for counsel my.

22 After word my not they repeated and on them it dropped speech my.

23 And they waited like the rain for me and mouth their they opened wide for spring rain.

24 I laughed to them not they believed and [the] light of face my not they made fall!

25 I chose way their so I may sit [as] chief so I may dwell like a king among the troop[s] just as mourners someone comforts.
