Job 29:4-16

4As I was in the daysH3117 of my youthH2779, when the friendship and counselH5475 of GodH433 was upon my tabernacleH168;

5When the AlmightyH7706 was yet with me, when my childrenH5288 were aboutH5439 me;

6When I washedH7364 my stepsH1978 with butterH2529, and the rockH6697 poured me outH6694 riversH6388 of oilH8081;1

7When I went outH3318 to the gateH8179 through the cityH7176, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the streetH7339!

8The young menH5288 sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves: and the agedH3453 aroseH6965, and stood upH5975.

9The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 talkingH4405, and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouthH6310.

10The noblesH5057 heldH2244 their peaceH6963, and their tongueH3956 cleavedH1692 to the roof of their mouthH2441.2

11When the earH241 heardH8085 me, then it blessedH833 me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 me, it gave witnessH5749 to me:

12Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.

13The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow’sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.

14I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.

15I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.

16I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.
