| 029:001 | Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, |
| 029:002 | Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; |
| 029:003 | When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; |
| 029:004 | As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle; |
| 029:005 | When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; |
| 029:006 | When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; |
| 029:007 | When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street! |
| 029:008 | The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up. |
| 029:009 | The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. |
| 029:010 | The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. |
| 029:011 | When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: |
| 029:012 | Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. |
| 029:013 | The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. |
| 029:014 | I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. |
| 029:015 | I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. |
| 029:016 | I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. |
| 029:017 | And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. |
| 029:018 | Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand. |
| 029:019 | My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. |
| 029:020 | My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. |
| 029:021 | Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. |
| 029:022 | After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. |
| 029:023 | And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain. |
| 029:024 | If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. |
| 029:025 | I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners. |
| 030:001 | But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock. |
| 030:002 | Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished? |
| 030:003 | For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. |
| 030:004 | Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. |
| 030:005 | They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) |
| 030:006 | To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. |
| 030:007 | Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. |
| 030:008 | They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. |
| 030:009 | And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. |
| 030:010 | They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. |
| 030:011 | Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. |
| 030:012 | Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. |
| 030:013 | They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. |
| 030:014 | They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. |
| 030:015 | Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. |
| 030:016 | And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. |
| 030:017 | My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest. |
| 030:018 | By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. |
| 030:019 | He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. |
| 030:020 | I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. |
| 030:021 | Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. |
| 030:022 | Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. |
| 030:023 | For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. |
| 030:024 | Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. |
| 030:025 | Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? |
| 030:026 | When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. |
| 030:027 | My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. |
| 030:028 | I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. |
| 030:029 | I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. |
| 030:030 | My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. |
| 030:031 | My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep. |
| 031:001 | I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? |
| 031:002 | For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high? |
| 031:003 | Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? |
| 031:004 | Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? |
| 031:005 | If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; |
| 031:006 | Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity. |
| 031:007 | If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; |
| 031:008 | Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. |
| 031:009 | If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; |
| 031:010 | Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. |
| 031:011 | For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges. |
| 031:012 | For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. |
| 031:013 | If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; |
| 031:014 | What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? |
| 031:015 | Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? |
| 031:016 | If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; |
| 031:017 | Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; |
| 031:018 | (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;) |
| 031:019 | If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; |
| 031:020 | If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; |
| 031:021 | If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: |
| 031:022 | Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. |
| 031:023 | For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. |
| 031:024 | If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; |
| 031:025 | If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; |
| 031:026 | If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; |
| 031:027 | And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: |
| 031:028 | This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above. |
| 031:029 | If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him: |
| 031:030 | Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul. |
| 031:031 | If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied. |
| 031:032 | The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller. |
| 031:033 | If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: |
| 031:034 | Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door? |
| 031:035 | Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book. |
| 031:036 | Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me. |
| 031:037 | I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. |
| 031:038 | If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; |
| 031:039 | If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: |
| 031:040 | Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. |
