Job 29:1-9

Wycliffe WYC

1 Also Job added, taking his parable, and said, (And Job added again to his parable, and said,)

2 Who giveth to me, that I be beside the eld months, by the days in which God kept me? (Who giveth to me, that once more I be, like in the months gone by, yea, those days in which God looked after me?)

3 When his lantern shined on mine head, and I went in darknesses at his light (and I walked through the darkness by his light).

4 As I was in the days of my youth, when in private God was in my tabernacle (when privately, or secretly, God watched over my tent, or my home).

5 When Almighty God was with me, and my children were in my compass (and my children were all about me);

6 when I washed my feet in butter, and the stone shedded out to me the streams of oil; [(when I washed my feet with butter, and the stone poured out for me rivers of oil;)]

7 when I went forth to the gate of the city, and in the street they made ready a chair to me (and in the street they prepared a chair for me).

8 Young wanton men saw me, and were hid, and eld men rising up stood (and old men rose, and stood up to honour me);

9 princes ceased to speak, and they putted their finger on their mouth; (leaders ceased to speak, and they covered their mouths with their hands;)

New International Version NIV

1 Job continued his discourse:

2 “How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,

3 when his lamp shone on my head and by his light I walked through darkness!

4 Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,

5 when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,

6 when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.

7 “When I went to the gate of the city and took my seat in the public square,

8 the young men saw me and stepped aside and the old men rose to their feet;

9 the chief men refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands;
