¹ And Job again took up his discourse and said

² "Oh that I were as in months gone by As in the days when God watched over me;

³ When His lamp shone over my head And by His light I walked through darkness;

⁴ As I was in the prime of my days When the friendship of God was over my tent;

⁵ When the Almighty was yet with me And my children were around me;

⁶ When my steps were bathed in butter And the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

⁷ "When I went out to the gate of the city When I took my seat in the square

⁸ The young men saw me and hid themselves And the old men arose and stood.

⁹ "The princes stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;

¹⁰ The voice of the nobles was hushed And their tongue stuck to their palate.

¹¹ "For when the ear heard it called me blessed And when the eye saw it gave witness of me

¹² Because I delivered the poor who cried for help And the orphan who had no helper.

¹³ "The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me And I made the widow's heart sing for joy.

¹⁴ "I put on righteousness and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.

¹⁵ "I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame.

¹⁶ "I was a father to the needy And I investigated the case which I did not know.

¹⁷ "I broke the jaws of the wicked And snatched the prey from his teeth.

¹⁸ "Then I thought 'I shall die in my nest And I shall multiply my days as the sand.

¹⁹ 'My root is spread out to the waters And dew lies all night on my branch.

²⁰ 'My glory is ever new with me And my bow is renewed in my hand.'

²¹ "To me they listened and waited And kept silent for my counsel.

²² "After my words they did not speak again And my speech dropped on them.

²³ "They waited for me as for the rain And opened their mouth as for the spring rain.

²⁴ "I smiled on them when they did not believe And the light of my face they did not cast down.

²⁵ "I chose a way for them and sat as chief And dwelt as a king among the troops As one who comforted the mourners.
