I understand that the Aionian Bible republishes public domain and Creative Commons Bible texts and that volunteers may be needed to present the original text accurately. I also understand that apocryphal text is removed and most variant verse numbering is mapped to the English standard. I have entered my corrections under the verse(s) below. Proposed corrections to the Translation for Translators, Job Chapter 29 https://www.AionianBible.org/Bibles/English---Trans-Trans/Job/29 1) Job spoke again, 2) “I wish/desire that I could be like I was previously, during the years when God took care of me. 3) During those years, [it was as though] God’s lamp [MET] shone on me and gave me light while I walked in the darkness. 4) At that time I was young and strong, and because God was my friend, [he protected] [PRS] my tent. 5) Almighty [God] was with me during those years when all my children were around me. 6) [My herds] provided me with plenty of milk, and streams of oil flowed from the rock where my olives were pressed. 7) “Whenever I went to [the place where the elders gathered at] the city gate, I sat down with them, 8) and when the young men saw me, they stepped aside [respectfully], and the old men [also] stood [respectfully]. 9) The leaders of the people stopped talking [DOU], 10) and even the most important men became quiet and ceased talking [MTY] [in order to hear me speak to them]. 11) When they [SYN] all heard [what I told them], they said good things about me. When they [SYN] saw me (OR, what I had done), they commended me, 12) because I had helped the poor people when they cried out for help and I aided/helped orphans who had no one else to help them. 13) Those who were suffering and about to die praised [PRS] me, and I caused widows [SYN] to sing joyfully, [because of my helping them]. 14) I always acted justly; my continually doing that was like [MET] a robe that I wore and a turban [that was wrapped around my head]. 15) [It was as though] [MET] I was eyes for blind people and feet for people who were lame. 16) I was [like] [MET] a father to poor people, and in courts I defended those who were strangers. 17) My causing wicked people [to be unable to continue oppressing others was like] [MET] breaking the fangs [of fierce wild animals] and forcing them to drop from their teeth/mouths the animals that they had caught/seized. 18) “At that time I thought, ‘Surely I will live securely, until I am very old [SIM], and I will die at home [with my family].’ 19) I was [like a tree] [MET] whose roots reach down into the water and whose branches become wet with dew each night. 20) People always honored me, and I was always [strong like] [MET] a new bow. 21) “When I spoke, people waited to hear [what I would say] and remained silent until I advised them [what they should do]. 22) After I finished speaking, they did not say any more; [it was as though] [MET] my words fell on their ears [like refreshing drops of rain]. 23) They waited for me [to speak] like they wait for rain; they [appreciated what I said] like [MET] [farmers appreciate] the final rain in the spring [before the dry season]. 24) When they were discouraged, I smiled at them [to encourage them]; they became encouraged when they saw that I approved of them. 25) I was their leader, and I decided what things [would be good for them to do]; I was among them like [SIM] a king who is among his troops; I was like someone who comforts [others] who are mourning.” Additional comments?
