Job 29:19-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
19
My root is spread out to the waters,
And dew lies on my branch all night.
20
My glory is
ever
new with me,
And my bow is renewed in my hand.’
21
'To me they listened and waited,
And they kept silent for my advice.
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 mouths as for the late rain.
24
I smiled at them
when
they did not believe,
And they did not look at my kindness ungraciously.
25
I chose a way for them and sat as chief,
And lived as a king among the troops,
As one who comforted the mourners.
King James Version
Chapter 29
19
My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 29
19
My roots will have access to water,
and the dew will rest on my branches all night.
20
My whole being will be refreshed within me,
and my bow will be renewed in my hand."
21
Men listened to me with expectation,
waiting silently for my advice.
22
After a word from me they did not speak again;
my speech settled on them like dew.
23
They waited for me as for the rain
and opened their mouths as for spring showers.
24
If I smiled at them, they couldn’t believe it;
they were thrilled at the light of my countenance.
25
I directed their course and presided as chief.
I lived as a king among his troops,
like one who comforts those who mourn.
New Living Translation
Chapter 29
19
For I am like a tree whose roots reach the water,
whose branches are refreshed with the dew.
20
New honors are constantly bestowed on me,
and my strength is continually renewed.’
21
'Everyone listened to my advice.
They were silent as they waited for me to speak.
22
And after I spoke, they had nothing to add,
for my counsel satisfied them.
23
They longed for me to speak as people long for rain.
They drank my words like a refreshing spring rain.
24
When they were discouraged, I smiled at them.
My look of approval was precious to them.
25
Like a chief, I told them what to do.
I lived like a king among his troops
and comforted those who mourned.
English Standard Version
Chapter 29
19
my roots spread out to the waters,
with the dew all night on my branches,
20
my glory fresh with me,
and my bow ever new in my hand.’
21
"Men listened to me and waited
and kept silence for my counsel.
22
After I spoke they did not speak again,
and my word dropped upon them.
23
They waited for me as for the rain,
and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
24
I smiled on them when they had no confidence,
and the light of my face they did not cast down.
25
I chose their way and sat as chief,
and I lived like a king among his troops,
like one who comforts mourners.
New International Version
Chapter 29
19
My roots will reach to the water,
and the dew will lie all night on my branches.
20
My glory will not fade;
the bow will be ever new in my hand.’
21
"People listened to me expectantly,
waiting in silence for my counsel.
22
After I had spoken, they spoke no more;
my words fell gently on their ears.
23
They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.
24
When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face was precious to them.
25
I chose the way for them and sat as their chief;
I dwelt as a king among his troops;
I was like one who comforts mourners.
New King James Version
Chapter 29
19
My root
is
spread out to the waters,
And the dew lies all night on my branch.
20
My glory
is
fresh within me,
And my bow is renewed in my hand.’
21
“
Men
listened to me and waited,
And kept silence for my counsel.
22
After my words they did not speak again,
And my speech settled on them
as dew.
23
They waited for me
as
for the rain,
And they opened their mouth wide
as
for the spring rain.
24
If
I mocked at them, they did not believe
it,
And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
25
I chose the way for them, and sat as chief;
So I dwelt as a king in the army,
As one
who
comforts mourners.
