Moreover JobH347 continuedH3254+H5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, {continued: Heb. added to take up}
Oh thatH5414 I were as in monthsH3391 pastH6924, as in the daysH3117 when GodH433 preservedH8104 me;
When his candleH5216 shinedH1984 upon my headH7218, and when by his lightH216 I walkedH3212 through darknessH2822; {candle: or, lamp}
As I was in the daysH3117 of my youthH2779, when the secretH5475 of GodH433 was upon my tabernacleH168;
When the AlmightyH7706 was yet with me, when my childrenH5288 were aboutH5439 me;
When I washedH7364 my stepsH1978 with butterH2529, and the rockH6697 poured me outH6694 riversH6388 of oilH8081; {me: Heb. with me}
When I went outH3318 to the gateH8179 through the cityH7176, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the streetH7339!
The young menH5288 sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves: and the agedH3453 aroseH6965, and stood upH5975.
The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 talkingH4405, and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouthH6310.
The noblesH5057 heldH2244 their peaceH6963, and their tongueH3956 cleavedH1692 to the roof of their mouthH2441. {The nobles…: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}
When the earH241 heardH8085 me, then it blessedH833 me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 me, it gave witnessH5749 to me:
Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.
The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow'sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.
I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.
I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.
I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.
And I brakeH7665 the jawsH4973 of the wickedH5767, and pluckedH7993 the spoilH2964 out of his teethH8127. {the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}
Then I saidH559, I shall dieH1478 in my nestH7064, and I shall multiplyH7235 my daysH3117 as the sandH2344.
My rootH8328 was spread outH6605 by the watersH4325, and the dewH2919 lay all nightH3885 upon my branchH7105. {spread…: Heb. opened}
My gloryH3519 was freshH2319 in meH5978, and my bowH7198 was renewedH2498 in my handH3027. {fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}
Unto me men gave earH8085, and waitedH3176, and kept silenceH1826 atH3926 my counselH6098.
AfterH310 my wordsH1697 they spake not againH8138; and my speechH4405 droppedH5197 upon them.
And they waitedH3176 for me as for the rainH4306; and they openedH6473 their mouthH6310 wide as for the latter rainH4456.
If I laughedH7832 on them, they believedH539 it not; and the lightH216 of my countenanceH6440 they cast not downH5307.
I choseH977 out their wayH1870, and satH3427 chiefH7218, and dweltH7931 as a kingH4428 in the armyH1416, as one that comfortethH5162 the mournersH57.
