Job

Chapter 29

Job bemoaneth himself of his former prosperity and honour.

        29:1 ¶ Moreover 3254x Job 347 continued 5375 3254y 8686z 8800z his parable, 4912 and said, 559 8799z

        29:2 Oh that 5414y 8799z 4310x I were 5414x as [in] months 3391 past, 6924 as [in] the days 3117 [when] God 433 preserved 8104 8799z me;

        29:3 When his candle 5216 shined 1984 8800z upon 5921x my head, 7218 [and when] by his light 216 I walked 3212y 8799z 1980x [through] darkness; 2822

        29:4 As 834x I was 1961x in the days 3117 of my youth, 2779 when the secret 5475 of God 433 [was] upon 5921x my tabernacle; 168

        29:5 When the Almighty 7706 [was] yet 5750x with 5978x me, [when] my children 5288 [were] about 5439 me;

        29:6 When I washed 7364 8800z my steps 1978 with butter, 2529 and the rock 6697 poured me out 6694 8799z 5978x rivers 6388 of oil; 8081

        29:7 When I went out 3318 8800z to the gate 8179 through 5921x the city, 7176 [when] I prepared 3559 8686z my seat 4186 in the street! 7339

        29:8 The young men 5288 saw 7200 8804z me, and hid 2244y 8738z themselves: 2244x and the aged 3453 arose, 6965 8804z [and] stood up. 5975 8804z

        29:9 The princes 8269 refrained 6113 8804z talking, 4405 and laid 7760 8799z [their] hand 3709 on their mouth. 6310

        29:10 The nobles 5057 held 2244 8738z their peace, 6963 and their tongue 3956 cleaved 1692 8804z to the roof of their mouth. 2441

        29:11 When 3588x the ear 241 heard 8085 8804z [me], then it blessed 833 8762z me; and when the eye 5869 saw 7200 8804z [me], it gave witness 5749 8686z to me:

        29:12 Because 3588x I delivered 4422 8762z the poor 6041 that cried, 7768 8764z and the fatherless, 3490 and [him that had] none 3808x to help 5826 8802z him.

        29:13 The blessing 1293 of him that was ready to perish 6 8802z came 935 8799z upon 5921x me: and I caused the widow's 490 heart 3820 to sing for joy. 7442 8686z

        29:14 I put 3847y 8804z on 3847x righteousness, 6664 and it clothed 3847 8799z me: my judgment 4941 [was] as a robe 4598 and a diadem. 6797

        29:15 I was 1961x eyes 5869 to the blind, 5787 and feet 7272 [was] I 589x to the lame. 6455

        29:16 I 595x [was] a father 1 to the poor: 34 and the cause 7379 [which] I knew 3045 8804z not 3808x I searched out. 2713 8799z

        29:17 And I brake 7665 8762z the jaws 4973 of the wicked, 5767 and plucked 7993 8686z the spoil 2964 out of his teeth. 8127 4480x

        29:18 Then I said, 559 8799z I shall die 1478 8799z in 5973x my nest, 7064 and I shall multiply 7235 8686z [my] days 3117 as the sand. 2344

        29:19 My root 8328 [was] spread out 6605 8803z by 413x the waters, 4325 and the dew 2919 lay all night 3885 8799z upon my branch. 7105

        29:20 My glory 3519 [was] fresh 2319 in 5978x me, 5978y and my bow 7198 was renewed 2498 8686z in my hand. 3027

        29:21 Unto me [men] gave ear, 8085 8804z and waited, 3176 8765z and kept silence 1826 8799z at 3926 my counsel. 6098

        29:22 After 310 my words 1697 they spake not again; 8138 8799z 3808x and my speech 4405 dropped 5197 8799z upon 5921x them.

        29:23 And they waited 3176 8765z for me as for the rain; 4306 and they opened 6473 8804z their mouth 6310 wide [as] for the latter rain. 4456

        29:24 [If] I laughed 7832 8799z on 413x them, they believed 539 8686z [it] not; 3808x and the light 216 of my countenance 6440 they cast not down. 5307 8686z 3808x

        29:25 I chose 977y 8799z out 977x their way, 1870 and sat 3427 8799z chief, 7218 and dwelt 7931 8799z as a king 4428 in the army, 1416 as 834x one [that] comforteth 5162 8762z the mourners. 57
