Job 29:4-16
4As I was in 1the primeH2779 of my daysH3117, When the 23friendshipH5475 of GodH433 was overH5921 my tentH168;5When 4the AlmightyH7706 was yetH5750 with me, And my childrenH5288 were aroundH5439 me;6When my stepsH1978 were bathedH7364 in 5butterH2529, And the 6rockH6697 pouredH6694 out for me streamsH6388 of oilH8081!7When I wentH3318 out to 7the gateH8179 of the cityH7176, When I 8tookH3559 my seatH4186 in the squareH7339,8The youngH5288 menH5288 sawH7200 me and hidH2244 themselves, And the oldH3453 menH3453 aroseH6965 and stoodH5975.9The princesH8269 9stoppedH6113 talkingH4405 And 10putH7760 their handsH3709 on their mouthsH6310;10The voiceH6963 of the noblesH5057 was 1112hushedH2244, And their 13tongueH3956 stuckH1692 to their palateH2441.11For when 14the earH241 heardH8085, it calledH833 me blessedH833, And when the eyeH5869 sawH7200, it gaveH5749 witnessH5749 of me,12BecauseH3588 I deliveredH4422 15the poorH6041 who criedH7768 for helpH7768, And the 16orphanH3490 who had noH3808 helperH5826.13The blessingH1293 of the one 17ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me, And I made the 18widow’sH490 heartH3820 singH7442 for joyH7442.14I 19putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me; My justiceH4941 was like a robeH4598 and a turbanH6797.15I was 20eyesH5869 to the blindH5787 And feetH7272 to the lameH6455.16I was a fatherH1 to 21the needyH34, And I investigatedH2713 the caseH7379 which I did not knowH3045.
