Chapter 29
Job MKJV 29:1  And Job continued the lifting up of his speech, and said,
Job MKJV 29:2  Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God watched over me;
Job MKJV 29:3  when His lamp shone on my head; I walked through darkness by His light;
Job MKJV 29:4  as I was in the days of my harvest, when the secret of God was on my tent;
Job MKJV 29:5  When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me;
Job MKJV 29:6  when I washed my steps with curds, and the rock poured out rivers of oil for me;
Job MKJV 29:7  when I went out to the gate by the city; when I prepared my seat in the street!
Job MKJV 29:8  The young men saw me and hid themselves; and the aged arose and stood up.
Job MKJV 29:9  The rulers held back from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
Job MKJV 29:10  The noble's voice was subdued, and their tongue clung to the roof of their mouth.
Job MKJV 29:11  For the ear heard and blessed me. And the eye saw me and witnessed to me.
Job MKJV 29:12  For I delivered the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to help him.
Job MKJV 29:13  The blessing of the perishing came on me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing.
Job MKJV 29:14  I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my judgment was like a robe and a diadem.
Job MKJV 29:16  I was a father to the poor; and the cause which I did not know, I searched out.
Job MKJV 29:17  I broke the fangs of the wicked, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
Job MKJV 29:18  Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days like the sand.
Job MKJV 29:19  My root was open to the waters, and the dew lay all night on my branch.
Job MKJV 29:20  My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
Job MKJV 29:21  They listened to me, and waited, and kept silent at my counsel.
Job MKJV 29:22  After my words they did not go on; and my speech dropped on them.
Job MKJV 29:23  And they waited for me like the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Job MKJV 29:24  I smiled kindly on them when they did not believe; and they did not make the light of my face fall.
Job MKJV 29:25  I chose out their way, and sat as chief; and I lived like a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.
