Job 29

ASV_Strongs(i)
  1 H347 And Job H3254 again H4912 took up his parable, H559 and said,
  2 H5414 Oh that H3391 I were as in the months H6924 of old, H3117 As in the days H433 when God H8104 watched over me;
  3 H5216 When his lamp H1984 shined H7218 upon my head, H216 And by his light H3212 I walked H2822 through darkness;
  4 H2779 As I was in the ripeness H3117 of my days, H5475 When the friendship H433 of God H168 was upon my tent;
  5 H7706 When the Almighty H5288 was yet with me, And my children H5439 were about me;
  6 H1978 When my steps H7364 were washed H2529 with butter, H6697 And the rock H6694 poured me out H6388 streams H8081 of oil!
  7 H3318 When I went forth H8179 to the gate H7176 unto the city, H3559 When I prepared H4186 my seat H7339 in the street,
  8 H5288 The young men H7200 saw H2244 me and hid H3453 themselves, And the aged H6965 rose up H5975 and stood;
  9 H8269 The princes H6113 refrained H4405 from talking, H7760 And laid H3709 their hand H6310 on their mouth;
  10 H2244 The voice H5057 of the nobles H6963 was hushed, H3956 And their tongue H1692 cleaved H2441 to the roof of their mouth.
  11 H241 For when the ear H8085 heard H833 me, then it blessed H5869 me; And when the eye H7200 saw H5749 me, it gave witness unto me:
  12 H4422 Because I delivered H6041 the poor H7768 that cried, H3490 The fatherless H5826 also, that had none to help him.
  13 H1293 The blessing H6 of him that was ready to perish H935 came H490 upon me; And I caused the widow's H3820 heart H7442 to sing for joy.
  14 H3847 I put H6664 on righteousness, H3847 and it clothed H4941 me: My justice H4598 was as a robe H6797 and a diadem.
  15 H5869 I was eyes H5787 to the blind, H7272 And feet H6455 was I to the lame.
  16 H1 I was a father H34 to the needy: H7379 And the cause H3045 of him that I knew H2713 not I searched out.
  17 H7665 And I brake H4973 the jaws H5767 of the unrighteous, H7993 And plucked H2964 the prey H8127 out of his teeth.
  18 H559 Then I said, H1478 I shall die H7064 in my nest, H7235 And I shall multiply H3117 my days H2344 as the sand:
  19 H8328 My root H6605 is spread out H4325 to the waters, H2919 And the dew H3885 lieth all night H7105 upon my branch;
  20 H3519 My glory H2319 is fresh H5978 in me, H7198 And my bow H2498 is renewed H3027 in my hand.
  21 H8085 Unto me men gave ear, H3176 and waited, H1826 And kept silence H3926 for H6098 my counsel.
  22 H310 After H1697 my words H8138 they spake not again; H4405 And my speech H5197 distilled upon them.
  23 H3176 And they waited H4306 for me as for the rain; H6473 And they opened H6310 their mouth H4456 wide as for the latter rain.
  24 H7832 I smiled H539 on them, when they had no confidence; H216 And the light H6440 of my countenance H5307 they cast not down.
  25 H977 I chose H1870 out their way, H3427 and sat H7218 as chief, H7931 And dwelt H4428 as a king H1416 in the army, H5162 As one that comforteth H57 the mourners.
