Job 29

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 addidit quoque Iob adsumens parabolam suam et dixit

2 quis mihi tribuat ut sim iuxta menses pristinos secundum dies quibus Deus custodiebat me

3 quando splendebat lucerna eius super caput meum et ad lumen eius ambulabam in tenebris

4 sicut fui in diebus adulescentiae meae quando secreto Deus erat in tabernaculo meo

5 quando erat Omnipotens mecum et in circuitu meo pueri mei

6 quando lavabam pedes meos butyro et petra fundebat mihi rivos olei

7 quando procedebam ad portam civitatis et in platea parabant cathedram mihi

8 videbant me iuvenes et abscondebantur et senes adsurgentes stabant

9 principes cessabant loqui et digitum superponebant ori suo

10 vocem suam cohibebant duces et lingua eorum gutturi suo adherebat

11 auris audiens beatificabat me et oculus videns testimonium reddebat mihi

12 quod liberassem pauperem vociferantem et pupillum cui non esset adiutor

13 benedictio perituri super me veniebat et cor viduae consolatus sum

14 iustitia indutus sum et vestivit me sicut vestimento et diademate iudicio meo

15 oculus fui caeco et pes claudo

16 pater eram pauperum et causam quam nesciebam diligentissime investigabam

17 conterebam molas iniqui et de dentibus illius auferebam praedam

18 dicebamque in nidulo meo moriar et sicut palma multiplicabo dies

19 radix mea aperta est secus aquas et ros morabitur in messione mea

20 gloria mea semper innovabitur et arcus meus in manu mea instaurabitur

21 qui me audiebant expectabant sententiam et intenti tacebant ad consilium meum

22 verbis meis addere nihil audebant et super illos stillabat eloquium meum

23 expectabant me sicut pluviam et os suum aperiebant quasi ad imbrem serotinum

24 si quando ridebam ad eos non credebant et lux vultus mei non cadebat in terram

25 si voluissem ire ad eos sedebam primus cumque sederem quasi rex circumstante exercitu eram tamen maerentium consolator

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;

10 the voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.

11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me, and those who saw me commended me,

12 because I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to assist them.

13 The one who was dying blessed me; I made the widow’s heart sing.

14 I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was my robe and my turban.

15 I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.

16 I was a father to the needy; I took up the case of the stranger.

17 I broke the fangs of the wicked and snatched the victims from their teeth.

18 “I thought, ‘I will die in my own house, my days as numerous as the grains of sand.

19 My roots will reach to the water, and the dew will lie all night on my branches.

20 My glory will not fade; the bow will be ever new in my hand.’

21 “People listened to me expectantly, waiting in silence for my counsel.

22 After I had spoken, they spoke no more; my words fell gently on their ears.

23 They waited for me as for showers and drank in my words as the spring rain.

24 When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it; the light of my face was precious to them.

25 I chose the way for them and sat as their chief; I dwelt as a king among his troops; I was like one who comforts mourners.
