Job's Summary Defense
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 29
|
|
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.
