Job 29:8-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
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.
16
I was a father to the poor,
And I investigated the case which I did not know.
17
I broke the jaws of the wicked
And rescued the prey from his teeth.
18
Then I thought, ‘I will die with my family,
And I will multiply
my
days as the sand.
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.’
King James Version
Chapter 29
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.
16
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 29
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.
16
I was a father to the needy,
and I examined the case of the stranger.
17
I shattered the fangs of the unjust
and snatched the prey from his teeth.
18
So I thought, "I will die in my own nest
and multiply my days as the sand.
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."
New Living Translation
Chapter 29
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.
16
I was a father to the poor
and assisted strangers who needed help.
17
I broke the jaws of godless oppressors
and plucked their victims from their teeth.
18
'I thought, ‘Surely I will die surrounded by my family
after a long, good life.
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.’
English Standard Version
Chapter 29
8

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

16
I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.
17
I broke the fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his 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 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.’
New International Version
Chapter 29
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.
16
I was a father to the needy;
I took up the case of the stranger.
17
I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims from their teeth.
18
"I thought, ‘I will die in my own house,
my days as numerous as the grains of sand.
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.’

20
My glory
is
fresh within me,
And my bow is renewed in my hand.’
