XXIX. Moreover Job * continued his parable, and said,
2 O that I were aas in months past,
As in the days when God preserved me;
3 bWhen his * candle shined upon my head,
And when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in the days of my youth,
When cthe secret of God was upon my dtabernacle;
5 When the Almighty was yet with me,
When emy children were about me;
6 When fI washed my steps with gbutter,
And hthe rock ipoured * me out rivers of koil;
7 When I went out to the lgate through the lcity,
When I prepared my seat in the mstreet;
8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves:
And nthe aged arose, and stood up.
9 The princes refrained talking,
And olaid their hand on their mouth.
10 * The nobles held their peace,
And their ptongue cleaved to qthe roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me;
And when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried,
And rthe fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 The sblessing of him that was tready to perish came upon me:
And I caused uthe widow’s heart to xsing for joy.
14 yI put on righteousness, and it clothed me:
My judgment was as a robe and a zdiadem.
15 I was aeyes to the blind,
And feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor:
And the cause bwhich I knew not I searched out.
17 And I bbbrake * the jaws of the wicked,
And * pluckt the spoil out of his teeth.
18 cThen I said, I shall die in my dnest,
And I shall multiply my days eas the sand.
19 My froot was * spread out gby the waters,
And the dew lay all night upon my fhbranch.
20 My glory was * fresh in me,
And my ibow was * renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited,
And kept silence at my counsel.
22 After my words they spake not again;
And my speech kdropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the rain;
And they lopened their mouth wide as for mthe latter rain.
24 If I laughed on them, they nbelieved it not;
And othe light of my pcountenance they cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief,
And dwelt qas a king in the rarmy,
As one that comforteth the mourners.
