Job Chapter 29 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Moreover Job <H0347> continued <H3254> <H5375> his parable, <H4912> and said, <H0559>
2: Oh that <H5414> I were as [in] months <H3391> past, <H6924> as [in] the days <H3117> [when] God <H0433> preserved <H8104> me;
3: When his candle <H5216> shined <H1984> upon my head, <H7218> [and when] by his light <H0216> I walked <H3212> [through] darkness; <H2822>
4: As I was in the days <H3117> of my youth, <H2779> when the secret <H5475> of God <H0433> [was] upon my tabernacle; <H0168>
5: When the Almighty <H7706> [was] yet with me, [when] my children <H5288> [were] about <H5439> me;
6: When I washed <H7364> my steps <H1978> with butter, <H2529> and the rock <H6697> poured me out <H6694> rivers <H6388> of oil; <H8081>
7: When I went out <H3318> to the gate <H8179> through the city, <H7176> [when] I prepared <H3559> my seat <H4186> in the street! <H7339>
8: The young men <H5288> saw <H7200> me, and hid <H2244> themselves: and the aged <H3453> arose, <H6965> [and] stood up. <H5975>
9: The princes <H8269> refrained <H6113> talking, <H4405> and laid <H7760> [their] hand <H3709> on their mouth. <H6310>
10: The nobles <H5057> held <H2244> their peace, <H6963> and their tongue <H3956> cleaved <H1692> to the roof of their mouth. <H2441>
11: When the ear <H0241> heard <H8085> [me], then it blessed <H0833> me; and when the eye <H5869> saw <H7200> [me], it gave witness <H5749> to me:
12: Because I delivered <H4422> the poor <H6041> that cried, <H7768> and the fatherless, <H3490> and [him that had] none to help <H5826> him.
13: The blessing <H1293> of him that was ready to perish <H0006> came <H0935> upon me: and I caused the widow's <H0490> heart <H3820> to sing for joy. <H7442>
14: I put on <H3847> righteousness, <H6664> and it clothed <H3847> me: my judgment <H4941> [was] as a robe <H4598> and a diadem. <H6797>
15: I was eyes <H5869> to the blind, <H5787> and feet <H7272> [was] I to the lame. <H6455>
16: I [was] a father <H0001> to the poor: <H0034> and the cause <H7379> [which] I knew <H3045> not I searched out. <H2713>
17: And I brake <H7665> the jaws <H4973> of the wicked, <H5767> and plucked <H7993> the spoil <H2964> out of his teeth. <H8127>
18: Then I said, <H0559> I shall die <H1478> in my nest, <H7064> and I shall multiply <H7235> [my] days <H3117> as the sand. <H2344>
19: My root <H8328> [was] spread out <H6605> by the waters, <H4325> and the dew <H2919> lay all night <H3885> upon my branch. <H7105>
20: My glory <H3519> [was] fresh <H2319> in me, <H5978> and my bow <H7198> was renewed <H2498> in my hand. <H3027>
21: Unto me [men] gave ear, <H8085> and waited, <H3176> and kept silence <H1826> at <H3926> my counsel. <H6098>
22: After <H0310> my words <H1697> they spake not again; <H8138> and my speech <H4405> dropped <H5197> upon them.
23: And they waited <H3176> for me as for the rain; <H4306> and they opened <H6473> their mouth <H6310> wide [as] for the latter rain. <H4456>
24: [If] I laughed <H7832> on them, they believed <H0539> [it] not; and the light <H0216> of my countenance <H6440> they cast not down. <H5307>
25: I chose <H0977> out their way, <H1870> and sat <H3427> chief, <H7218> and dwelt <H7931> as a king <H4428> in the army, <H1416> as one [that] comforteth <H5162> the mourners. <H0057>
