Job 29:4-16

4As I wasH1961 in the daysH3117 of my youth, when the secretH5475 counselH5475 of 1GodH433 wasH1961 over my tentH168,

5When the AlmightyH7706 was yetH5750 with me, my youngH5288 menH5288 roundH5439 about me;

6When my steps were bathedH7364 in milk, and the rockH6697 pouredH6694 out beside me rivers of oilH8081! ...

7When I wentH3318 out to the gateH8179 by the city, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 on the broadway,

8The youngH5288 menH5288 sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves; and the aged aroseH6965 [and] stoodH5975 up;

9PrincesH8269 refrained from talking, and laid the handH3709 on their mouthH6310;

10The voiceH6963 of the nobles was hushed, and their tongueH3956 cleaved to their palateH2441.

11When the earH241 heardH8085 [me], then it blessed me, and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 [me], it gave witness to me;

12For I deliveredH4422 the afflictedH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490 who had no helperH5826.

13The blessingH1293 of him that was perishingH6 cameH935 upon me, and I caused the widow's heartH3820 to singH7442 for joyH7442.

14I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me; my justiceH4941 was as a mantle and a turbanH6797.

15I wasH1961 eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 wasH1961 I to the lameH6455;

16I was a fatherH1 to the needyH34, and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searchedH2713 out;
