Job 29:19-25

29:19

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}

29:20

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}

29:21

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

and waited
<03176> (8765)_,

and kept silence
<01826> (8799)

at
<03926>

my counsel
<06098>_.

29:22

After
<0310>

my words
<01697>

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

and my speech
<04405>

dropped
<05197> (8799)

upon them.

29:23

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>_.

29:24

[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)_.

29:25

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>_.
