Revised Version 1895
Job 29:4-16
4As I was in the ripeness of my daysH3117, when the secretH5475 of GodH433 was uponH5921 my tentH168;
5When the AlmightyH7706 was yet with meH5978, and my childrenH5288 were aboutH5439 meH5978;
6When my stepsH1978 were washedH7364 with butterH2529, and the rockH6697 pouredH6694 meH5978 out rivers of oilH8081!
7When I wentH3318 forthH3318 to the gateH8179 unto the cityH7176, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the streetH7339,
8The youngH5288 menH5288 sawH7200 meH7200 and hidH2244 themselvesH2244, and the agedH3453 roseH6965 upH6965 and stoodH5975;
9The princesH8269 refrained talkingH4405, and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouthH6310;
10The voiceH6963 of the noblesH5057 was hushedH2244, and their tongueH3956 cleaved to the roofH2441 of their mouthH2441.
11For when the earH241 heardH8085 meH7200, then it blessedH833 meH7200; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 meH7200, it gaveH8085 witnessH8085 unto meH7200:
12BecauseH3588 I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, the fatherlessH3490 also, that had noneH3808 to helpH5826 him.
13The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 uponH5921 meH5921: and I caused the widow’sH490 heartH3820 to singH7442 for joyH7442.
14I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 meH4941: my justiceH4941 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 needyH34: and the causeH7379 of him that I knewH3045 notH3808 I searchedH2713 outH3045.
