Job 29 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1And Job again took up his parable, and said,

2Oh that I were as in the months of old,

As in the days when God watched over me;

3When his lamp shined

And by his light I walked through darkness;

When the

friendship of God was upon my tent;

5When the Almighty was yet with me,

And my children were about me;

6When my steps were washed with butter,

And the rock poured me out streams of oil!

7When I went forth to the gate unto the city,

When I prepared my seat in the

street,

8The young men saw me and hid themselves,

And the aged rose up and stood;

9The princes refrained from talking,

And laid their hand on their mouth;

hushed,

And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me;

And when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me:

12Because I delivered the poor that cried,

The fatherless also,

that had none to help him.

13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me;

And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

21Unto me men gave ear, and waited,

And kept silence for my counsel.

22After my words they spake not again;

And my speech distilled upon them.

23And they waited for me as for the rain;

And they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

24I smiled on them, when they had no confidence;

And the light of my countenance they cast not down.

25I chose out their way, and sat as chief,

And dwelt as a king in the army,

As one that comforteth the mourners.
