Job 29

Job bemoaneth himself of his former prosperity and honour.

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

 29:2 Oh that y5414 z8799 x4310 I were x5414 as [in] months 3391 past, 6924 as [in] the days 3117 [when] God 433 preserved 8104 z8799 me;

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

 29:4 As x834 I was x1961 in the days 3117 of my youth, 2779 when the secret 5475 of God 433 [was] upon x5921 my tabernacle; 168

 29:5 When the Almighty 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 rock 6697 poured me out 6694 z8799 x5978 rivers 6388 of oil; 8081

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

 29:8 The young men 5288 saw 7200 z8804 me, and hid y2244 z8738 themselves: x2244 and the aged 3453 arose, 6965 z8804 [and] stood up. 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 cleaved 1692 z8804 to the roof of their mouth. 2441

 29:11 When x3588 the ear 241 heard 8085 z8804 [me], then it blessed 833 z8762 me; and when the eye 5869 saw 7200 z8804 [me], it gave witness 5749 z8686 to me:

 29:12 Because x3588 I delivered 4422 z8762 the poor 6041 that cried, 7768 z8764 and the fatherless, 3490 and [him that had] none x3808 to help 5826 z8802 him.

 29:13 The blessing 1293 of him that was ready to perish 6 z8802 came 935 z8799 upon x5921 me: and I caused the widow's 490 heart 3820 to sing for joy. 7442 z8686

 29:14 I put y3847 z8804 on x3847 righteousness, 6664 and it clothed 3847 z8799 me: my judgment 4941 [was] as a robe 4598 and a diadem. 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 poor: 34 and the cause 7379 [which] I knew 3045 z8804 not x3808 I searched out. 2713 z8799

 29:17 And I brake 7665 z8762 the jaws 4973 of the wicked, 5767 and plucked 7993 z8686 the spoil 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 multiply 7235 z8686 [my] days 3117 as the sand. 2344

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

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

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

 29:22 After 310 my words 1697 they spake not again; 8138 z8799 x3808 and my speech 4405 dropped 5197 z8799 upon x5921 them.

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

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

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