{Job 29:1} Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:2} Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God preserved me; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:3} When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I walked [through] darkness; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:4} As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:5} When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were] about me; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:6} When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:7} When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street! ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:8} The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, [and] stood up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:9} The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:10} The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:11} When the ear heard [me,] then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me,] it gave witness to me: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:12} Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:13} The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:14} I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment [was] as a robe and a diadem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:15} I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:16} I [was] a father to the poor: and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:17} And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:18} Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply [my] days as the sand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:19} My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:20} My glory [was] fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:21} Unto me [men] gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:22} After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:23} And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:24} [If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 29:25} I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one [that] comforteth the mourners.
