Book of Job, Chapter 29
Chapter 29 of Job
as in the days when God watched over me;
and by his light I walked through darkness;
when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
when my children were about me;
and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
when I prepared my seat in the square,
and the aged rose and stood;
and laid their hand on their mouth;
and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
and when the eye saw, it approved;
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
my justice was like a robe and a turban.
and feet to the lame.
and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
and I shall multiply my days as the sand,
with the dew all night on my branches,
and my bow ever new in my hand.’
and kept silence for my counsel.
and my word dropped upon them.
and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
and the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
and I dwelt like a king among his troops,
like one who comforts mourners.Read Job Chapter 29 in other Bible versions:
