29:14-17 In cases where Job served in an official capacity, he demonstrated righteousness as he defended the rights of the helpless and rendered their oppressors powerless.
29:18-20 Because of God’s blessings and Job’s righteousness, Job expected to live a long and healthy life (Dt 4:39-40; 1Kg 3:14). Sand symbolizes things too numerous to count (6:3; Gn 22:17; 1Kg 4:29). A nest presents a secure image of home and family. The well-watered tree speaks of health and prosperity as well as Job’s righteousness (Ps 1:1-3; 92:12). The bow symbolizes strength and virility (Gn 49:24).
29:21-23 Job’s opinions and decisions were as valued as refreshing rain or dew in a dry region (Is 55:10-11).
29:24 Because he was considered both wise and powerful, everyone highly valued Job’s approval.
