1 # Moreover Job <0347> continued <03254> (8686) <05375> (8800) his parable <04912>, and said <0559> (8799),
2 Oh that <05414> (8799) I were as in months <03391> past <06924>, as in the days <03117> when God <0433> preserved <08104> (8799) me;
3 When his candle <05216> shined <01984> (8800) upon my head <07218>, and when by his light <0216> I walked <03212> (8799) through darkness <02822>;
4 As I was in the days <03117> of my youth <02779>, when the secret <05475> of God <0433> was upon my tabernacle <0168>;
5 When the Almighty <07706> was yet with me, when my children <05288> were about <05439> me;
6 When I washed <07364> (8800) my steps <01978> with butter <02529>, and the rock <06697> poured me out <06694> (8799) rivers <06388> of oil <08081>;
7 # When I went out <03318> (8800) to the gate <08179> through the city <07176>, when I prepared <03559> (8686) my seat <04186> in the street <07339>!
8 The young men <05288> saw <07200> (8804) me, and hid <02244> (8738) themselves: and the aged <03453> arose <06965> (8804), and stood up <05975> (8804).
9 The princes <08269> refrained <06113> (8804) talking <04405>, and laid <07760> (8799) their hand <03709> on their mouth <06310>.
10 The nobles <05057> held <02244> (8738) their peace <06963>, and their tongue <03956> cleaved <01692> (8804) to the roof of their mouth <02441>.
11 When the ear <0241> heard <08085> (8804) me, then it blessed <0833> (8762) me; and when the eye <05869> saw <07200> (8804) me, it gave witness <05749> (8686) to me:
12 Because I delivered <04422> (8762) the poor <06041> that cried <07768> (8764), and the fatherless <03490> , and him that had none to help <05826> (8802) him.
13 The blessing <01293> of him that was ready to perish <06> (8802) came <0935> (8799) upon me: and I caused the widow's <0490> heart <03820> to sing for joy <07442> (8686).
14 I put <03847> (8804) on righteousness <06664>, and it clothed <03847> (8799) me: my judgment <04941> was as a robe <04598> and a diadem <06797>.
15 I was eyes <05869> to the blind <05787>, and feet <07272> was I to the lame <06455>.
16 I was a father <01> to the poor <034>: and the cause <07379> which I knew <03045> (8804) not I searched out <02713> (8799).
17 And I brake <07665> (8762) the jaws <04973> of the wicked <05767>, and plucked <07993> (8686) the spoil <02964> out of his teeth <08127>.
18 # Then I said <0559> (8799), I shall die <01478> (8799) in my nest <07064>, and I shall multiply <07235> (8686) my days <03117> as the sand <02344>.
19 My root <08328> was spread out <06605> (8803) by the waters <04325>, and the dew <02919> lay all night <03885> (8799) upon my branch <07105>.
20 My glory <03519> was fresh <02319> in me <05978>, and my bow <07198> was renewed <02498> (8686) in my hand <03027>.
21 Unto me men gave ear <08085> (8804), and waited <03176> (8765), and kept silence <01826> (8799) at <03926> my counsel <06098>.
22 After <0310> my words <01697> they spake not again <08138> (8799); and my speech <04405> dropped <05197> (8799) upon them.
23 And they waited <03176> (8765) for me as for the rain <04306>; and they opened <06473> (8804) their mouth <06310> wide as for the latter rain <04456>.
24 If I laughed <07832> (8799) on them, they believed <0539> (8686) it not; and the light <0216> of my countenance <06440> they cast not down <05307> (8686).
25 I chose <0977> (8799) out their way <01870>, and sat <03427> (8799) chief <07218>, and dwelt <07931> (8799) as a king <04428> in the army <01416>, as one that comforteth <05162> (8762) the mourners <057> .
