Job 29:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Then Job continued his speech:
2 "O that I could be as I was in the months now gone, in the days when God watched over me,
3 when he caused his lamp to shine upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness;
4 just as I was in my most productive time, when God's intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,
5 when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me;
6 when my steps were bathed with butter and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil!
7 When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,
8 the young men would see me and step aside, and the old men would get up and remain standing;
9 the chief men refrained from talking and covered their mouths with their hands;
10 the voices of the nobles fell silent, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
11 "As soon as the ear heard these things, it blessed me, and when the eye saw them, it bore witness to me,
12 for I rescued the poor who cried out for help, and the orphan who had no one to assist him;
13 the blessing of the dying man descended on me, and I made the widow's heart rejoice;
14 I put on righteousness and it clothed me, my just dealing was like a robe and a turban;
15 I was eyes for the blind and feet for the lame;
16 I was a father to the needy, and I investigated the case of the person I did not know;
17 I broke the fangs of the wicked, and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
18 "Then I thought, 'I will die in my own home, my days as numerous as the grains of sand.
19 My roots reach the water, and the dew lies on my branches all night long.
20 My glory will always be fresh in me, and my bow ever new in my hand.'
21 "People listened to me and waited silently; they kept silent for my advice.
22 After I had spoken, they did not respond; my words fell on them drop by drop.
23 They waited for me as people wait for the rain, and they opened their mouths as for the spring rains.
24 If I smiled at them, they hardly believed it; and they did not cause the light of my face to darken.
25 I chose the way for them and sat as their chief; I lived like a king among his troops; I was like one who comforts mourners.
1 Moreover H3254 Job H347 continued H5375 his parable, H4912 and said, H559
2 Oh that H4310 I were H5414 as in months H3391 past, H6924 as in the days H3117 when God H433 preserved H8104 me;
3 When his candle H5216 shined H1984 upon H5921 my head, H7218 and when by his light H216 I walked H1980 through darkness; H2822
4 As H834 I was H1961 in the days H3117 of my youth, H2779 when the secret H5475 of God H433 was upon H5921 my tabernacle; H168
5 When the Almighty H7706 was yet H5750 with H5978 me, when my children H5288 were about H5439 me;
6 When I washed H7364 my steps H1978 with butter, H2529 and the rock H6697 poured me out H6694 H5978 rivers H6388 of oil; H8081
7 When I went out H3318 to the gate H8179 through H5921 the city, H7176 when I prepared H3559 my seat H4186 in the street H7339 !
8 The young men H5288 saw H7200 me , and hid themselves: H2244 and the aged H3453 arose, H6965 and stood up. H5975
9 The princes H8269 refrained H6113 talking, H4405 and laid H7760 their hand H3709 on their mouth. H6310
10 The nobles H5057 held H2244 their peace, H6963 and their tongue H3956 cleaved H1692 to the roof of their mouth. H2441
11 When H3588 the ear H241 heard H8085 me , then it blessed H833 me ; and when the eye H5869 saw H7200 me , it gave witness H5749 to me:
12 Because H3588 I delivered H4422 the poor H6041 that cried, H7768 and the fatherless, H3490 and him that had none H3808 to help H5826 him.
13 The blessing H1293 of him that was ready to perish H6 came H935 upon H5921 me : and I caused the widow's H490 heart H3820 to sing for joy. H7442
14 I put on H3847 righteousness, H6664 and it clothed H3847 me : my judgment H4941 was as a robe H4598 and a diadem. H6797
15 I was H1961 eyes H5869 to the blind, H5787 and feet H7272 was I H589 to the lame. H6455
16 I H595 was a father H1 to the poor: H34 and the cause H7379 which I knew H3045 not H3808 I searched out. H2713
17 And I broke H7665 the jaws H4973 of the wicked, H5767 and plucked H7993 the spoil H2964 out of his teeth H4480 H8127 .
18 Then I said, H559 I shall die H1478 in H5973 my nest, H7064 and I shall multiply H7235 my days H3117 as the sand. H2344
19 My root H8328 was spread out H6605 by H413 the waters, H4325 and the dew H2919 lay all night H3885 upon my branch. H7105
20 My glory H3519 was fresh H2319 in H5978 me , and my bow H7198 was renewed H2498 in my hand. H3027
21 Unto me men gave ear, H8085 and waited, H3176 and kept silence H1826 at H3926 my counsel. H6098
22 After H310 my words H1697 they spoke not again H8138 H3808 and my speech H4405 dropped H5197 upon H5921 them.
23 And they waited H3176 for me as for the rain; H4306 and they opened H6473 their mouth H6310 wide as for the latter rain. H4456
24 If I laughed H7832 on H413 them , they believed H539 it not; H3808 and the light H216 of my countenance H6440 they cast not down H5307 H3808 .
25 I chose out H977 their way, H1870 and sat H3427 chief, H7218 and dwelt H7931 as a king H4428 in the army, H1416 as H834 one that comforteth H5162 the mourners. H57
