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 King James Version NKJV

1 Job further continued his discourse, and said:

2 Oh, that I were as in months past, As in the days when God watched over me;

3 When His lamp shone upon my head, And when by His light I walked through darkness;

4 Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;

5 When the Almighty was yet with me, When my children were around me;

6 When my steps were bathed with cream, And the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!

7 "When I went out to the gate by the city, When I took my seat in the open square,

8 The young men saw me and hid, And the aged arose and stood;

9 The princes refrained from talking, And put their hand on their mouth;

10 The voice of nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

11 When the ear heard, then it blessed me, And when the eye saw, then it approved me;

12 Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and the one who had no helper.

13 The blessing of a perishing man came upon me, And I caused the widow's heart to 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 I was feet to the lame.

16 I was a father to the poor, And I searched out the case that I did not know.

17 I broke the fangs of the wicked, And plucked the victim from his teeth.

18 "Then I said, 'I shall die in my nest, And multiply my days as the sand.

19 My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lies all night on my branch.

20 My glory is fresh within me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.'

21 "Men listened to me and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.

22 After my words they did not speak again, And my speech settled on them as dew.

23 They waited for me as for the rain, And they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.

24 If I mocked at them, they did not believe it, And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.

25 I chose the way for them, and sat as chief; So I dwelt as a king in the army, As one who comforts mourners.
