29:1 And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: --
29:2 Who doth make me as `in' months past, As `in' the days of God's preserving me?
29:3 In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk `through' darkness.
29:4 As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
29:5 When yet the Mighty One `is' with me. Round about me -- my young ones,
29:6 When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock `is' with me rivulets of oil.
29:7 When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.
29:8 Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged have risen -- they stood up.
29:9 Princes have kept in words, And a hand they place on their mouth.
29:10 The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved.
29:11 For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye hath seen, and testifieth `to' me.
29:12 For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper.
29:13 The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing.
29:14 Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.
29:15 Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame `am' I.
29:16 A father I `am' to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.
29:17 And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.
29:18 And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.'
29:19 My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch.
29:20 My honour `is' fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed.
29:21 To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
29:22 After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop,
29:23 And they wait as `for' rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide `As' for the latter rain.
29:24 I laugh unto them -- they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.
29:25 I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort.
29:2 Who doth make me as `in' months past, As `in' the days of God's preserving me?
29:3 In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk `through' darkness.
29:4 As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
29:5 When yet the Mighty One `is' with me. Round about me -- my young ones,
29:6 When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock `is' with me rivulets of oil.
