Job - ch 29 v 1 - 20
- Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
- Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?
- When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?
- As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?
- When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?
- When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?
- When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?
- The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.
- The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.
- The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.
- The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:
- Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless that had no helper.
- The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.
- I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.
- I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.
- I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.
- I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.
- And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.
- My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.
- My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.
