Chap. XXIX.
Againe Iob recounteth Gods former benefites, as wel his grace, wherby he
did good workes, 5. as temporal prosperitie. 9. and wisdome aboue other
princes.
1 Iob also added, taking note his parable, and sayd:
2 Who wil
grant me, that I may be according to the former monethes,
according to the daies in which God kept me?
3 When his
lampe shined ouer my head, & I walked by his light in darknes?
4 As I was in the daies of my youth, when God was secretly
in my tabernacle?
5 When the Omnipotent was with
me: and my seruantes round about me?
6 When I washed my
feete with butter, and the rocke powred me riuers of oile?
7 When I went forth to the gatte of the citie, and in the
streate they prepared me a chaire?
8 Yong men sawe me, and
hid them selues: and old men rising vp stoode.
9 The princes
ceased to speake, and did put the finger vpon their mouth.
10 Dukes held in their voice, and their tongue cleaued to their
-- --
throte.
11 The eare hearing counted me blessed, and the eie
seing gaue testimonie to me:
12 For that I had deliuered the
poore man crying out, and the pupil, that had no helper.
13 The blessing of him that was readie to perish came vpon
me, and I conforted the hart of the widow.
14 I was clothed
with iustice: and I reuested me with my iudgement, as with
a garment and crowne.
15 I was an eie to the blind, and a foote
to the lame.
16 I was the father of the poore: and the cause
which I knew not, I searched most diligently.
17 I brake the
iawes of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I tooke away
the praye.
18 And I said: I wil die in my litle nest, & as a palme-tree
wil multiplie daies.
19 My roote is opened beside the waters,
and dewe shal continue in my haruest.
20 My glorie shal
alwaies be renewed, and my bow in my hand shal be repayred.
21 They that heard me, expected sentence, and attent
held their peace at my counsel.
22 To my wordes they durst
adde nothing, and my speach distilled vpon them.
23 They
expected me as rayne, and they opened their mouth as it were
to a lateward shower.
24 If at anie time I laughed on them,
they beleued not, and the light of my countenance fel not on
the earth.
25 If I would haue gone to them, I sate first, and
when I sate note as a king, with his armie standing about him,
yet was I a conforter of them that mourned.
