Job 29:4-16
4JustH3512 asH3512 I was in the daysH3117 of my youthH2779, When the 1protectionH5526 of GodH433 was overH5921 my tentH168;5When 2the AlmightyH7706 was stillH5750 with me, And my childrenH5288 were aroundH5439 me;6When my stepsH1978 were bathedH7364 in 3creamH2529, And the 4rockH6697 pouredH6694 outH6694 streamsH6388 of oilH8081 for me!7When I wentH3318 outH3318 to 5the gateH8179 of the cityH7176, When I 6tookH3559 my seatH4186 in the publicH7339 squareH7339,8The youngH5288 menH5288 sawH7200 me and hidH2244 themselves, And the oldH3453 menH3453 aroseH6965 and stoodH5975.9The leadersH8269 7stoppedH6113 talkingH4405 And 8putH7760 their handsH3709 on their mouthsH6310;10The voicesH6963 of the prominentH5057 peopleH5057 were 910hushedH2244, And their 11tonguesH3956 stuckH1692 to their palatesH2441.11For when 12an earH241 heardH8085, it calledH833 me blessedH833, And when an eyeH5869 sawH7200, it testifiedH5749 inH5749 supportH5749 ofH5749 me,12BecauseH3588 I savedH4422 13the poorH6041 who criedH7768 forH7768 helpH7768, And the 14orphanH3490 who had noH3808 helperH5826.13The blessingH1293 of the one who 15was about to perishH6 cameH935 upon me, And I made the 16widow’sH490 heartH3820 singH7442 forH7442 joyH7442.14I 17putH3847 onH3847 righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me; My justiceH4941 was like a robeH4598 and a headbandH6797.15I was 18eyesH5869 to those who were blindH5787, And feetH7272 to those who 19couldH6455 notH6455 walkH6455.16I was a fatherH1 to 20the poorH34, And I investigatedH2713 the caseH7379 which I did not knowH3045.
