Job 29:1-11 (ASV) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

And Job again took up his parable, and said,

2

Oh that I were as in the months of old, As in the days when God watched over me;

3

When his lamp shined upon my head, And by his light I walked through darkness;

4

As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the friendship of God was upon my tent;

5

When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were about me;

6

When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out streams of oil!

7

When I went forth to the gate unto the city, When I prepared my seat in the street,

8

The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;

9

The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;

10

The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

11

For when the ear heardme, then it blessed me; And when the eye sawme, it gave witness unto me:
