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