Job 29:2-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
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
Just as I was in the days of my youth,
When the protection of God
was
over my tent;
5
When the Almighty was still with me,
And
my children were around me;
6
When my steps were bathed in cream,
And the rock poured out streams of oil for me!
7
When I went out to the gate of the city,
When I took my seat in the public square,
8
The young men saw me and hid themselves,
And the old men arose
and
stood.
9
The leaders stopped talking
And put
their
hands on their mouths;
10
The voices of the prominent people were hushed,
And their tongues stuck to their palates.
11
For
when
an ear heard, it called me blessed,
And when an eye saw, it testified in support of me,
12
Because I saved the poor who cried for help,
And the orphan who had no helper.
13
The blessing of the one who was about 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 headband.
15
I was eyes to those who were blind,
And feet to those who could not walk.
King James Version
Chapter 29
2
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 29
2
If only I could be as in months gone by,
in the days when God watched over me,
3
when his lamp shone above my head,
and I walked through darkness by his light!
4
I would be as I was in the days of my youth
when God’s friendship rested on my tent,
5
when the Almighty was still with me
and my children were around me,
6
when my feet were bathed in curds
and the rock poured out streams of oil for me!
7
When I went out to the city gate
and took my seat in the town square,
8
the young men saw me and withdrew,
while older men stood to their feet.
9
City officials stopped talking
and covered their mouths with their hands.
10
The noblemen’s voices were hushed,
and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
11
When they heard me, they blessed me,
and when they saw me, they spoke well of me.
12
For I rescued the poor who cried out for help,
and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.
13
The dying blessed me,
and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.
14
I clothed myself in righteousness,
and it enveloped me;
my just decisions were like a robe and a turban.
15
I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
New Living Translation
Chapter 29
2
'I long for the years gone by
when God took care of me,
3
when he lit up the way before me
and I walked safely through the darkness.
4
When I was in my prime,
God’s friendship was felt in my home.
5
The Almighty was still with me,
and my children were around me.
6
My steps were awash in cream,
and the rocks gushed olive oil for me.
7
'Those were the days when I went to the city gate
and took my place among the honored leaders.
8
The young stepped aside when they saw me,
and even the aged rose in respect at my coming.
9
The princes stood in silence
and put their hands over their mouths.
10
The highest officials of the city stood quietly,
holding their tongues in respect.
11
'All who heard me praised me.
All who saw me spoke well of me.
12
For I assisted the poor in their need
and the orphans who required help.
13
I helped those without hope, and they blessed me.
And I caused the widows’ hearts to sing for joy.
14
Everything I did was honest.
Righteousness covered me like a robe,
and I wore justice like a turban.
15
I served as eyes for the blind
and feet for the lame.

Chapter 29
2
"Oh, that I were as in the months of old,
as in the days when God watched over me,
3
when his lamp shone upon my head,
and by his light I walked through darkness,
4
as I was in my prime,
when the friendship of God was upon my tent,
5
when the Almighty was yet with me,
when my children were all around me,
6
when my steps were washed with butter,
and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
7
When I went out to the gate of the city,
when I prepared my seat in the square,
8
the young men saw me and withdrew,
and the aged rose 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 stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11
When the ear heard, it called me blessed,
and when the eye saw, it approved,
12
because I delivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13
The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me,
and I caused the widow 's heart to 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.
New International Version
Chapter 29
2
"How I long for the months gone by,
for the days when God watched over me,
3
when his lamp shone on my head
and by his light I walked through darkness!
4
Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,
when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,
5
when the Almighty was still with me
and my children were around me,
6
when my path was drenched with cream
and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
7
"When I went to the gate of the city
and took my seat in the public square,
8
the young men saw me and stepped aside
and the old men rose to their feet;
9
the chief men refrained from speaking
and covered their mouths with their hands;
10
the voices of the nobles were hushed,
and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
11
Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,
12
because I rescued the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to assist them.
13
The one who was dying blessed me;
I made the widow’s heart sing.
14
I put on righteousness as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.
15
I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
New King James Version
Chapter 29
2
“Oh, that I were as
in
months past,
As
in
the days
when
God watched over me;
3
When His lamp shone upon my head,
And when
by His light I walked
through
darkness;
4
Just as I was in the days of my prime,
When the friendly counsel of God
was
over my tent;
5
When the Almighty
was
yet with me,
When
my children
were
around me;
6
When my steps were bathed with cream,
And the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!
7
“When I went out to the gate by the city,
When
I took my seat in the open square,
8
The young men saw me and hid,
And the aged arose
and
stood;
9
The princes refrained from talking,
And put
their
hand on their mouth;
10
The voice of nobles was hushed,
And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11
When the ear heard, then it blessed me,
And when the eye saw, then it approved me;
12
Because I delivered the poor who cried out,
The fatherless and
the one who
had no helper.
13
The blessing of a perishing
man
came upon me,
And I caused the widow’s heart to 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 I
was
feet to the lame.
