Job - Chapter: 29


29:1	Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and said,
29:2	O that I were as in moneths past, as in the dayes when God preserued me.
29:3	When his candle shined vpon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkenesse:
29:4	As I was in the dayes of my youth, when the secret of God was vpon my tabernacle:
29:5	When the Almightie was yet with me, when my children were about me:
29:6	When I washed my steps with butter, and the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:
29:7	When I went out to the gate, through the citie, when I prepared my seate in the street.
29:8	The yong men saw me, and hid themselues: and the aged arose, and stood vp.
29:9	The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
29:10	The Nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
29:11	When the eare heard mee, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gaue witnesse to me:
29:12	Because I deliuered the poore that cried, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
29:13	The blessing of him that was readie to perish, came vpon me: and I caused the widowes heart to sing for ioy.
29:14	I put on righteousnesse, and it clothed me: my iudgement was as a robe and a diademe.
29:15	I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
29:16	I was a father to the poore: and the cause which I knewe not, I searched out.
29:17	And I brake the iawes of the wicked, and pluckt the spoile out of his teeth.
29:18	Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
29:19	My roote was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night vpon my branch.
29:20	My glory was fresh in mee, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
29:21	Unto me men gaue eare, and waited, and kept silence at my counsell.
29:22	After my words they spake not againe, & my speach dropped vpon them,
29:23	And they waited for me as for the raine, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter raine.
29:24	If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not, and the light of my countenance they cast not downe.
29:25	I chose out their way, and sate chiefe, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.


29:1	So Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
29:2	Oh that I were as in times past, when God preserued me!
29:3	When his light shined vpon mine head: and when by his light I walked thorowe the darkenesse,
29:4	As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle:
29:5	When the almightie was yet with me, and my children round about me.
29:6	When I washed my pathes with butter, and when the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:
29:7	When I went out to the gate, euen to the iudgement seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seate in the streete.
29:8	The yong men saw me, and hid themselues, and the aged arose, and stood vp.
29:9	The princes stayed talke, and layde their hand on their mouth.
29:10	The voyce of princes was hidde, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
29:11	And when the eare heard me, it blessed me: and when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse to me.
29:12	For I deliuered the poore that cryed, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
29:13	The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce.
29:14	I put on iustice, and it couered me: my iudgement was as a robe, and a crowne.
29:15	I was the eyes to the blinde, and I was the feete to the lame.
29:16	I was a father vnto the poore, and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
29:17	I brake also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth.
29:18	Then I sayde, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
29:19	For my roote is spread out by the water, and the dewe shall lye vpon my branche.
29:20	My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand.
29:21	Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.
29:22	After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.
29:23	And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.
29:24	If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.
29:25	I appoynted out their way, and did sit as chiefe, and dwelt as a King in the army, and like him that comforteth the mourners.


29:1	So Iob proceaded and went forth in his communicacyon, sayenge.
29:2	O that I were as I was in the monethes by past, and in the dayes when God preserued me:
29:3	when his light shyned vpon my head: when I wente after the same lyght and shynynge, euen thorowe the darcknesse.
29:4	As it stode with me when I was yonge: when God prospered my house:
29:5	when the Almyghtie was yet with me: when my chyldren stode aboute me:
29:6	when my wayes ranne ouer with butter, and when the stony rockes gaue me ryuers of oyle:
29:7	when I wente thorowe the cytie vnto the gate, and when they set me a chayre in the strete:
29:8	when the yonge men (as soone as they sawe me) hid them selues, and when the aged arose, and stode vp vnto me,
29:9	when the Princes left of their talkinge, and layed their hande to their mouth:
29:10	when the myghty kepte still their voyce, and when their tonge cleued to the rofe of their mouthe.
29:11	When all they that herde me, called me happye: and when all they that sawe me, spake good of me.
29:12	For I deliuered the poore when he cried, and so did I the fatherlesse and him that had none to holde him.
29:13	He that shulde haue bene lost, gaue me a good worde, and the wyddowes herte praysed me.
29:14	And why? I put vpon me ryghteousnes, which couered me as a garment, and equyte was my crowne.
29:15	I was an eye vnto the blynde, and a fote to the lame,
29:16	I was a father vnto the poore: and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
29:17	I brake the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckte the spoyle out of his teth.
29:18	Therfore, I thought verely that I shuld haue dyed in my nest: and that my dayes shulde haue bene as many as the sondes of the see.
29:19	For my roote was spred out by the watersyde, and the dewe laye vpon my corne.
29:20	Myne honour encreased more and more, and my bowe was euer the stronger in my hand.
29:21	Unto me men gaue eare, me they regarded, and with sylence they taryed for my councell.
29:22	If I had spoken, they wolde haue it none other wayes, my wordes were so well taken amonge them.
29:23	They wayted for me as for the rayne: and gaped vpon me, as the grounde doth to receaue the latter shower.
29:24	When I laughed, they knewe well it was not earnest: and the lyght of my countenaunce wolde they not put out.
29:25	When I agreed vnto theyr waye, I was the chefe, and sat as a kynge with hys armye aboute hym. And whan they were in heuynes, I was theyr comfortoure.
