1 Moreover Job 347 continued 3254 5375 his parable 4912, and said 559,
2 Oh that 5414 I were as in months 3391 past 6924, as in the days 3117 when God 433 preserved 8104 me;
3 When his candle 5216 shined 1984 upon my head 7218, and when by his light 216 I walked 3212 through darkness 2822;
4 As I was in the days 3117 of my youth 2779, when the secret 5475 of God 433 was upon my tabernacle 168;
5 When the Almighty 7706 was yet with me, when my children 5288 were about 5439 me;
6 When I washed 7364 my steps 1978 with butter 2529, and the rock 6697 poured me out 6694 rivers 6388 of oil 8081;
7 When I went out 3318 to the gate 8179 through the city 7176, when I prepared 3559 my seat 4186 in the street 7339!
8 The young men 5288 saw 7200 me, and hid 2244 themselves: and the aged 3453 arose 6965, and stood up 5975.
9 The princes 8269 refrained 6113 talking 4405, and laid 7760 their hand 3709 on their mouth 6310.
10 The nobles 5057 held 2244 their peace 6963, and their tongue 3956 cleaved 1692 to the roof of their mouth 2441.
11 When the ear 241 heard 8085 me, then it blessed 833 me; and when the eye 5869 saw 7200 me, it gave witness 5749 to me:
12 Because I delivered 4422 the poor 6041 that cried 7768, and the fatherless 3490, and him that had none to help 5826 him.
13 The blessing 1293 of him that was ready to perish 6 came 935 upon me: and I caused the widow's 490 heart 3820 to sing for joy 7442.
14 I put 3847 on righteousness 6664, and it clothed 3847 me: my judgment 4941 was as a robe 4598 and a diadem 6797.
15 I was eyes 5869 to the blind 5787, and feet 7272 was I to the lame 6455.
16 I was a father 1 to the poor 34: and the cause 7379 which I knew 3045 not I searched out 2713.
17 And I brake 7665 the jaws 4973 of the wicked 5767, and plucked 7993 the spoil 2964 out of his teeth 8127.
18 Then I said 559, I shall die 1478 in my nest 7064, and I shall multiply 7235 my days 3117 as the sand 2344.
19 My root 8328 was spread out 6605 by the waters 4325, and the dew 2919 lay all night 3885 upon my branch 7105.
20 My glory 3519 was fresh 2319 in me 5978, and my bow 7198 was renewed 2498 in my hand 3027.
21 Unto me men gave ear 8085, and waited 3176, and kept silence 1826 at 3926 my counsel 6098.
22 After 310 my words 1697 they spake not again 8138; and my speech 4405 dropped 5197 upon them.
23 And they waited 3176 for me as for the rain 4306; and they opened 6473 their mouth 6310 wide as for the latter rain 4456.
24 If I laughed 7832 on them, they believed 539 it not; and the light 216 of my countenance 6440 they cast not down 5307.
25 I chose 977 out their way 1870, and sat 3427 chief 7218, and dwelt 7931 as a king 4428 in the army 1416, as one that comforteth 5162 the mourners 57.
