    29:1 Job again took up his parable, and said,

    29:2 Oh that I were as in the months of old, As in the days when God watched over me;

    29:3 When his lamp shone on my head, And by his light I walked through darkness;

    29:4 As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the friendship of God was in my tent;

    29:5 When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were around me;

    29:6 When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured out streams of oil for me!

    29:7 When I went forth to the city gate, When I prepared my seat in the street,

    29:8 The young men saw me and hid themselves, The aged rose up and stood;

    29:9 The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;

    29:10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

    29:11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; And when the eye saw me, it commended me:

    29:12 Because I delivered the poor who cried, And the fatherless also, who had none to help him.

    29:13 The blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, And I caused the widow`s heart to sing for joy.

    29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

    29:15 I was eyes to the blind, And feet to the lame.

    29:16 I was a father to the needy. The cause of him who I didn`t know, I searched out.

    29:17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, And plucked the prey out of his teeth.

    29:18 Then I said, `I shall die in my own house, I shall number my days as the sand.

    29:19 My root is spread out to the waters, The dew lies all night on my branch;

    29:20 My glory is fresh in me, My bow is renewed in my hand.`

    29:21 Men listened to me, waited, And kept silence for my counsel.

    29:22 After my words they didn`t speak again; My speech fell on them.

    29:23 They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.

    29:24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn`t reject the light of my face.

    29:25 I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, As one who comforts the mourners.
