V.1 Moreover Job 347 continued 3254-55 5375-2 his parable, 4912 and said, 559-4

29:2 Oh that 5414-4 I were as [in] months 3391 past, 6924 as [in] the days 3117 [when] God 433 preserved 8104-4 me;

29:3 When his candle 5216 shined 1984-2 upon my head, 7218 [and when] by his light 216 I walked 3212-4 [through] darkness; 2822

29:4 As I was in the days 3117 of my youth, 2779 when the secret 5475 of God 433 [was] upon my tabernacle; 168

29:5 When the Almighty 7706 [was] yet with me, [when] my children 5288 [were] about 5439 me;

29:6 When I washed 7364-2 my steps 1978 with butter, 2529 and the rock 6697 poured me out 6694-4 rivers 6388 of oil; 8081

29:7 When I went out 3318-2 to the gate 8179 through the city, 7176 [when] I prepared 3559-55 my seat 4186 in the street! 7339

29:8 The young men 5288 saw 7200-1 me, and hid 2244-8 themselves: and the aged 3453 arose, 6965-1 [and] stood up. 5975-1

29:9 The princes 8269 refrained 6113-1 talking, 4405 and laid 7760-4 [their] hand 3709 on their mouth. 6310

29:10 The nobles 5057 held 2244-8 their peace, 6963 and their tongue 3956 cleaved 1692-1 to the roof of their mouth. 2441

29:11 When the ear 241 heard 8085-1 [me], then it blessed 833-17 me; and when the eye 5869 saw 7200-1 [me], it gave witness 5749-55 to me:

29:12 Because I delivered 4422-17 the poor 6041 that cried, 7768-18 and the fatherless, 3490 and [him that had] none to help 5826-6 him.

29:13 The blessing 1293 of him that was ready to perish 6-6 came 935-4 upon me: and I caused the widow's 490 heart 3820 to sing for joy. 7442-55

29:14 I put on 3847-1 righteousness, 6664 and it clothed 3847-4 me: my judgment 4941 [was] as a robe 4598 and a diadem. 6797

29:15 I was eyes 5869 to the blind, 5787 and feet 7272 [was] I to the lame. 6455

29:16 I [was] a father 1 to the poor: 34 and the cause 7379 [which] I knew 3045-1 not I searched out. 2713-4

29:17 And I brake 7665-17 the jaws 4973 of the wicked, 5767 and plucked 7993-55 the spoil 2964 out of his teeth. 8127

29:18 Then I said, 559-4 I shall die 1478-4 in my nest, 7064 and I shall multiply 7235-55 [my] days 3117 as the sand. 2344

29:19 My root 8328 [was] spread out 6605-7 by the waters, 4325 and the dew 2919 lay all night 3885-4 upon my branch. 7105

29:20 My glory 3519 [was] fresh 2319 in me, 5978 and my bow 7198 was renewed 2498-55 in my hand. 3027

29:21 Unto me [men] gave ear, 8085-1 and waited, 3176-14 and kept silence 1826-4 at 3926 my counsel. 6098

29:22 After 310 my words 1697 they spake not again; 8138-4 and my speech 4405 dropped 5197-4 upon them.

29:23 And they waited 3176-14 for me as for the rain; 4306 and they opened 6473-1 their mouth 6310 wide [as] for the latter rain. 4456

29:24 [If] I laughed 7832-4 on them, they believed 539-55 [it] not; and the light 216 of my countenance 6440 they cast not down. 5307-55
