CHAP. XXIX.
Job relates his former happiness,
and the respect that
all men shewed him.
1 Job also added, taking up
his parable, and said:
2 Who will grant me, that
I might be according to the
months past, according to the
days in which God kept me?
3 When his lamp shined
-- --
over my head, and I walked
by his light in darkness?
4 As I was in the days of
my youth, when God was
secretly in my tabernacle?
5 When the Almighty was
with me: and my servants
round about me?
6 When I washed my feet
with butter, and the rock poured
me out rivers of oil?
7 When I went out to the
gate of the city, and in the
street they prepared me a
chair?
8 The young men saw me,
and hid themselves: and the
old men rose up and stood.
9 The princes ceased to
speak, and laid the finger on
their mouth.
10 The rulers held their
peace, and their tongue cleaved
to their throat.
11 The ear that heard me
blessed me, and the eye that
saw me gave witness to me:
12 Because I had delivered
the poor man that cried out,
and the fatherless, that had no
helper.
13 The blessing of him
that was ready to perish came
upon me, and I comforted the
heart of the widow.
14 I was clad with justice:
and I clothed myself with my
judgment, as with a robe and
a diadem.
15 I was an eye to the
blind, and a foot to the lame.
16 I was the father of the
poor: and the cause which I
knew not, I searched out most
diligently.
17 I broke the jaws of the
wicked man, and out of his
teeth I took away the prey.
18 And I said: I shall die
in my nest, and as a palm-tree
shall multiply my days.
19 My root is opened beside
the waters, and dew shall
continue in my harvest.
20 My glory shall always
be renewed, and my bow in
my hand shall be repaired.
21 They that heard me,
waited for my sentence, and
being attentive held their peace
at my counsel.
22 To my words they durst
add nothing, and my speech
dropped upon them.
23 They waited for me as
for rain, and they opened their
mouth as for a latter shower.
24 If at any time I laughed
on them, they believed it
not, and the light of my
countenance fell not on the
earth.
25 If I had a mind to go
to them, I sat first, and when
I sat as a king, with his army
standing about him, yet I was
a comforter of them that
mourned.
