29:1 Moreover Job 347 continued 3254 8686 5375 8800 his parable 4912, and said 559 8799,(continued: Heb. added to take up)

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

29:3 When his candle 5216 shined 1984 8800 upon my head 7218, [and when] by his light 216 I walked 3212 8799 [through] darkness 2822;(candle: or, lamp)

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

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

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

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

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

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

29:10 The nobles 5057 held 2244 8738 their peace 6963, and their tongue 3956 cleaved 1692 8804 to the roof of their mouth 2441.(The nobles…: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid)

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

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

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

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

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

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

29:17 And I brake 7665 8762 the jaws 4973 of the wicked 5767, and plucked 7993 8686 the spoil 2964 out of his teeth 8127.(the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders)(plucked: Heb. cast)

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

29:19 My root 8328 [was] spread out 6605 8803 by the waters 4325, and the dew 2919 lay all night 3885 8799 upon my branch 7105.(spread…: Heb. opened)

29:20 My glory 3519 [was] fresh 2319 in me 5978, and my bow 7198 was renewed 2498 8686 in my hand 3027.(fresh: Heb. new)(renewed: Heb. changed)

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

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

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

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