Iob 29

Job bemoaneth himself of his former prosperity and honour.

 29:1 ¶ Moreouer x3254 Iob 347 continued 5375 y3254 z8686 z8800 his parable, 4912 and said, 559 z8799

 29:2 O that y5414 z8799 x4310 I were x5414 as [in] moneths 3391 past, 6924 as [in] the dayes 3117 when God 433 preserued 8104 z8799 me.

 29:3 When his candle 5216 shined 1984 z8800 vpon x5921 my head, 7218 and [when] by his light 216 I walked y3212 z8799 x1980 [through] darkenesse: 2822

 29:4 As x834 I was x1961 in the dayes 3117 of my youth, 2779 when the secret 5475 of God 433 was vpon x5921 my tabernacle: 168

 29:5 When the Almightie 7706 was yet x5750 with x5978 me, [when] my children 5288 were about 5439 me:

 29:6 When I washed 7364 z8800 my steps 1978 with butter, 2529 and the rocke 6697 powred me out 6694 z8799 x5978 riuers 6388 of oyle: 8081

 29:7 When I went out 3318 z8800 to the gate, 8179 through x5921 the citie, 7176 [when] I prepared 3559 z8686 my seate 4186 in the street. 7339

 29:8 The yong men 5288 saw 7200 z8804 me, and hid y2244 z8738 themselues: x2244 and the aged 3453 arose, 6965 z8804 [and] stood vp. 5975 z8804

 29:9 The princes 8269 refrained 6113 z8804 talking, 4405 and laid 7760 z8799 [their] hand 3709 on their mouth. 6310

 29:10 The Nobles 5057 held 2244 z8738 their peace, 6963 and their tongue 3956 cleaued 1692 z8804 to the roofe of their mouth. 2441

 29:11 When x3588 the eare 241 heard 8085 z8804 [mee], then it blessed 833 z8762 me, and when the eye 5869 saw 7200 z8804 [me], it gaue witnesse 5749 z8686 to me:

 29:12 Because x3588 I deliuered 4422 z8762 the poore 6041 that cried, 7768 z8764 and the fatherlesse, 3490 and [him] that had none x3808 to helpe 5826 z8802 him.

 29:13 The blessing 1293 of him that was readie to perish, 6 z8802 came 935 z8799 vpon x5921 me: and I caused the widowes 490 heart 3820 to sing for ioy. 7442 z8686

 29:14 I put y3847 z8804 on x3847 righteousnesse, 6664 and it clothed 3847 z8799 me: my iudgement 4941 was as a robe 4598 and a diademe. 6797

 29:15 I was x1961 eyes 5869 to the blind, 5787 and feet 7272 [was] I x589 to the lame. 6455

 29:16 I x595 [was] a father 1 to the poore: 34 and the cause 7379 which I knewe 3045 z8804 not, x3808 I searched out. 2713 z8799

 29:17 And I brake 7665 z8762 the iawes 4973 of the wicked, 5767 and pluckt 7993 z8686 the spoile 2964 out of his teeth. 8127 x4480

 29:18 Then I said, 559 z8799 I shall die 1478 z8799 in x5973 my nest, 7064 and I shall multiplie 7235 z8686 [my] dayes 3117 as the sand. 2344

 29:19 My roote 8328 [was] spread out 6605 z8803 by x413 the waters, 4325 and the dew 2919 lay all night 3885 z8799 vpon my branch. 7105

 29:20 My glory 3519 [was] fresh 2319 in x5978 mee, y5978 and my bow 7198 was renewed 2498 z8686 in my hand. 3027

 29:21 Unto me [men] gaue eare, 8085 z8804 and waited, 3176 z8765 and kept silence 1826 z8799 at 3926 my counsell. 6098

 29:22 After 310 my words 1697 they spake not againe, 8138 z8799 x3808 & my speach 4405 dropped 5197 z8799 vpon x5921 them,

 29:23 And they waited 3176 z8765 for me as for the raine, 4306 and they opened 6473 z8804 their mouth 6310 wide [as] for the latter raine. 4456

 29:24 [If] I laughed 7832 z8799 on x413 them, they beleeued 539 z8686 it not, x3808 and the light 216 of my countenance 6440 they cast not downe. 5307 z8686 x3808

 29:25 I chose y977 z8799 out x977 their way, 1870 and sate 3427 z8799 chiefe, 7218 and dwelt 7931 z8799 as a king 4428 in the army, 1416 as x834 one [that] comforteth 5162 z8762 the mourners. 57
