Job 29:12-25

Because I delivered
<04422> (8762)

the poor
<06041>

that cried
<07768> (8764)_,

and the fatherless
<03490>_,

and [him that had] none to help
<05826> (8802)

him.

The blessing
<01293>

of him that was ready to perish
<06> (8802)

came
<0935> (8799)

upon me: and I caused the widow's
<0490>

heart
<03820>

to sing for joy
<07442> (8686)_.

I put
<03847> (8804)

on righteousness
<06664>_,

and it clothed
<03847> (8799)

me: my judgment
<04941>

[was] as a robe
<04598>

and a diadem
<06797>_.

I was eyes
<05869>

to the blind
<05787>_,

and feet
<07272>

[was] I to the lame
<06455>_.

I [was] a father
<01>

to the poor
<034>_:

and the cause
<07379>

[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)

not I searched out
<02713> (8799)_.

And I brake
<07665> (8762)

the jaws
<04973>

of the wicked
<05767>_,

and plucked
<07993> (8686)

the spoil
<02964>

out of his teeth
<08127>_.

{the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}

Then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I shall die
<01478> (8799)

in my nest
<07064>_,

and I shall multiply
<07235> (8686)

[my] days
<03117>

as the sand
<02344>_.

My root
<08328>

[was] spread out
<06605> (8803)

by the waters
<04325>_,

and the dew
<02919>

lay all night
<03885> (8799)

upon my branch
<07105>_.

{spread...: Heb. opened}

My glory
<03519>

[was] fresh
<02319>

in me
<05978>_,

and my bow
<07198>

was renewed
<02498> (8686)

in my hand
<03027>_.

{fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}

Unto me [men] gave ear
<08085> (8804)_,

and waited
<03176> (8765)_,

and kept silence
<01826> (8799)

at
<03926>

my counsel
<06098>_.

After
<0310>

my words
<01697>

they spake not again
<08138> (8799)_;

and my speech
<04405>

dropped
<05197> (8799)

upon them.

And they waited
<03176> (8765)

for me as for the rain
<04306>_;

and they opened
<06473> (8804)

their mouth
<06310>

wide [as] for the latter rain
<04456>_.

[If] I laughed
<07832> (8799)

on them, they believed
<0539> (8686)

[it] not; and the light
<0216>

of my countenance
<06440>

they cast not down
<05307> (8686)_.

I chose
<0977> (8799)

out their way
<01870>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

chief
<07218>_,

and dwelt
<07931> (8799)

as a king
<04428>

in the army
<01416>_,

as one [that] comforteth
<05162> (8762)

the mourners
<057>_.
