Job 29:1-9

Listen to Job 29:1-9
1 Y volviĂł Job a tomar su propĂłsito, y dijo:
2 ¡Quién me volviese como en los meses pasados, como en los días cuando Dios me guardaba,
3 cuando hacĂ­a resplandecer su candela sobre mi cabeza, a la luz de la cual yo caminaba en la oscuridad;
4 como fue en los dĂ­as de mi juventud, cuando Dios era familiar en mi tienda;
5 cuando aĂşn el Omnipotente estaba conmigo, y mis hijos alrededor de mĂ­;
6 cuando lavaba yo mis caminos con manteca, y la piedra me derramaba rĂ­os de aceite!
7 Cuando salĂ­a a la puerta a juicio, y en la plaza hacĂ­a aparejar mi silla,
8 Los jĂłvenes me veĂ­an, y se escondĂ­an; y los viejos se levantaban, y estaban en pie.
9 Los prĂ­ncipes detenĂ­an sus palabras; ponĂ­an la mano sobre su boca;
