And Job
again
took
up his discourse
and said,
2
"Oh
that I were as in months
gone
by, As in the days
when God
watched
over me;
3
When His lamp
shone
over
my head,
And by His light
I walked
through darkness;
4
As I was in the prime
of my days,
When the friendship
of God
was over
my tent;
5
When the Almighty
was yet
with me, And my children
were around
me;
6
When my steps
were bathed
in butter,
And the rock
poured
out for me streams
of oil!
7
"When I went
out to the gate
of the city,
When I took
my seat
in the square,
8
The young men
saw
me and hid
themselves, And the old men
arose
and stood.
9
"The princes
stopped
talking
And put
their hands
on their mouths;
10
The voice
of the nobles
was hushed,
And their tongue
stuck
to their palate.
11
"For when the ear
heard,
it called me blessed,
And when the eye
saw,
it gave witness
of me,
12
Because
I delivered
the poor
who cried for help,
And the orphan
who had no
helper.
13
"The blessing
of the one ready to perish
came
upon me, And I made the widow's
heart
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 feet
to the lame.
16
"I was a father
to the needy,
And I investigated
the case
which I did not know.
17
"I broke
the jaws
of the wicked
And snatched
the prey
from his teeth.
18
"Then I thought,
'I shall die
in my nest,
And I shall multiply
my days
as the sand.
19
'
My root
is spread
out to the waters,
And dew
lies all night
on my branch.
20
My glory
is ever new
with me, And my bow
is renewed
in my hand.'
21
"To me they listened
and waited,
And kept silent
for my counsel.
22
"After
my words
they did not speak again,
And my speech
dropped
on them.
23
"They waited
for me as for the rain,
And opened
their mouth
as for the spring rain.
24
"I smiled
on them when they did not believe,
And the light
of my face
they did not cast down.
25
"I chose
a way
for them and sat
as chief,
And dwelt
as a king
among the troops,
As one who
comforted
the mourners.
