Job 29 - Interlinear Bible
Job's Past Was Glorious
2
"Oh * that I were as in
months gone by, As in the
days when
God watched over me;
3
When His
lamp shone over my
head, And by His
light I
walked through
darkness ;

As I was in the
prime of my
days, When the
friendship of
God was
over my
tent ;

5
When the
Almighty was
yet with me, And my
children were
around me;
6
When my
steps were
bathed in
butter, And the
rock poured out for me
streams of
oil !
7
"When I
went out to the
gate of the
city, When I
took my
seat in the
square,
8
The
young men saw me and
hid themselves, And the
old men arose and
stood.
10
The
voice of the
nobles was
hushed, And their
tongue stuck to their
palate.
11
"For when the
ear heard, it
called me
blessed, And when the
eye saw, it
gave witness of me,
13
"The
blessing of the one ready to
perish came upon me, And I made the
widow's heart sing for
joy.
14
"I
put on
righteousness, and it
clothed me; My
justice was like a
robe and a
turban.
15
"I was
eyes to the
blind And
feet to the
lame.
16
"I was a
father to the
needy, And I
investigated the
case which I did not
know.
17
"I
broke the
jaws of the
wicked And
snatched the
prey from his
teeth.
18
"Then I
thought, 'I shall
die in my
nest, And I shall
multiply my
days as the
sand.
19
'My
root is
spread out to the
waters, And
dew lies all
night on my
branch.
20
'My
glory is ever
new with me, And my
bow is
renewed in my
hand.'
21
"To me they
listened and
waited, And
kept silent for my
counsel.
22
"After my
words they did not
speak again, And my
speech dropped on them.
23
"They
waited for me as for the
rain, And
opened their
mouth as for the
spring rain.
24
"I
smiled on them when they did not
believe, And the
light of my
face they did not
cast down.
25
"I
chose a
way for them and
sat as
chief, And
dwelt as a
king among the
troops, As one
who comforted the
mourners.
