Job 29:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
5When the Almighty was still with me, And my children were around me; 6When my steps were bathed in cream, And the rock poured out streams of oil for me! 7When I went out to the gate of the city, When I took my seat in the public square, 8The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood. 9The leaders stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths; 10The voices of the prominent people were hushed, And their tongues stuck to their palates. 11For when an ear heard, it called me blessed, And when an eye saw, it testified in support of me,King James Version
Chapter 29
5When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; 6When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Christian Standard Bible
6when my feet were bathed in curds and the rock poured out streams of oil for me!
7When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the town square,
8the young men saw me and withdrew, while older men stood to their feet.
9City officials stopped talking and covered their mouths with their hands.
10The noblemen's voices were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
11When they heard me, they blessed me, and when they saw me, they spoke well of me.
New Living Translation
Chapter 29
5The Almighty was still with me, and my children were around me. 6My 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.
8The young stepped aside when they saw me, and even the aged rose in respect at my coming.
9The princes stood in silence and put their hands over their mouths.
10The highest officials of the city stood quietly, holding their tongues in respect.
