[1] 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 shone on my head,
and by his light I walked through darkness,
[4] as I was in my prime,
when the friendship of God was in my tent,
[5] when the Almighty was yet with me,
and my children were around me,
[6] when my steps were washed with butter,
and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
[7] when I went out to the city gate,
when I prepared my seat in the street.
[8] The young men saw me and hid themselves.
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 stuck to the roof of their mouth.
[11] For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me,
and when the eye saw me, it commended me,
[12] because I delivered the poor who cried,
and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
[13] the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me,
and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
[14] I put on righteousness, and it clothed me.
My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
[15] I was eyes to the blind,
and feet to the lame.
[16] I was a father to the needy.
I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.
[17] I broke the jaws of the unrighteous
and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
[18] Then I said, ‘I will die in my own house,
I will count my days as the sand.
[19] My root is spread out to the waters.
The dew lies all night on my branch.
[20] My glory is fresh in me.
My bow is renewed in my hand.’ [21] “Men listened to me, waited,
and kept silence for my counsel.
[22] After my words they didn’t speak again.
My speech fell on them.
[23] They waited for me as for the rain.
Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
[24] I smiled on them when they had no confidence.
They didn’t reject the light of my face.
[25] I chose out their way, and sat as chief.
I lived as a king in the army,
as one who comforts the mourners.
[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 on my head,
and by his light I walked through darkness,

King James Version
[1] Moreover JobH347 continuedH3254(HiphImpf) his parable,H4912 and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] Oh thatH5414(QalImpf) I were as [in] monthsH3391 past,H6924 as [in] the daysH3117 [when] GodH433 preservedH8104(QalImpf) me; [3] When his candleH5216 shinedH1984(QalInf) upon my head,H7218 [and when] by his lightH216 I walkedH3212(QalImpf) [through] darkness;H2822 [4] As I was in the daysH3117 of my youth,H2779 when the secretH5475 of GodH433 [was] upon my tabernacle;H168 [5] When the AlmightyH7706 [was] yet with me, [when] my childrenH5288 [were] aboutH5439 me; [6] When I washedH7364(QalInf) my stepsH1978 with butter,H2529 and the rockH6697 poured me outH6694(QalImpf) riversH6388 of oil;H8081 [7] When I went outH3318(QalInf) to the gateH8179 through the city,H7176 [when] I preparedH3559(HiphImpf) my seatH4186 in the street!H7339 [8] The young menH5288 sawH7200(QalPerf) me, and hidH2244(NiphPerf) themselves: and the agedH3453 arose,H6965(QalPerf) [and] stood up.H5975(QalPerf) [9] The princesH8269 refrainedH6113(QalPerf) talking,H4405 and laidH7760(QalImpf) [their] handH3709 on their mouth.H6310 [10] The noblesH5057 heldH2244(NiphPerf) their peace,H6963 and their tongueH3956 cleavedH1692(QalPerf) to the roof of their mouth.H2441 [11] When the earH241 heardH8085(QalPerf) [me], then it blessedH833(PielImpf) me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200(QalPerf) [me], it gave witnessH5749(HiphImpf) to me: [12] Because I deliveredH4422(PielImpf) the poorH6041 that cried,H7768(PielPtc) and the fatherless,H3490 and [him that had] none to helpH5826(QalActPtc) him. [13] The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6(QalActPtc) cameH935(QalImpf) upon me: and I caused the widow’sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joy.H7442(HiphImpf) [14] I putH3847(QalPerf) on righteousness,H6664 and it clothedH3847(QalImpf) me: my judgmentH4941 [was] as a robeH4598 and a diadem.H6797 [15] I was eyesH5869 to the blind,H5787 and feetH7272 [was] I to the lame.H6455 [16] I [was] a fatherH1 to the poor:H34 and the causeH7379 [which] I knewH3045(QalPerf) not I searched out.H2713(QalImpf) [17] And I brakeH7665(PielImpf) the jawsH4973 of the wicked,H5767 and pluckedH7993(HiphImpf) the spoilH2964 out of his teeth.H8127 [18] Then I said,H559(QalImpf) I shall dieH1478(QalImpf) in my nest,H7064 and I shall multiplyH7235(HiphImpf) [my] daysH3117 as the sand.H2344 [19] My rootH8328 [was] spread outH6605(QalPasPtc) by the waters,H4325 and the dewH2919 lay all nightH3885(QalImpf) upon my branch.H7105 [20] My gloryH3519 [was] freshH2319 in me,H5978 and my bowH7198 was renewedH2498(HiphImpf) in my hand.H3027 [21] Unto me [men] gave ear,H8085(QalPerf) and waited,H3176(PielPerf) and kept silenceH1826(QalImpf) atH3926 my counsel.H6098 [22] AfterH310 my wordsH1697 they spake not again;H8138(QalImpf) and my speechH4405 droppedH5197(QalImpf) upon them. [23] And they waitedH3176(PielPerf) for me as for the rain;H4306 and they openedH6473(QalPerf) their mouthH6310 wide [as] for the latter rain.H4456 [24] [If] I laughedH7832(QalImpf) on them, they believedH539(HiphImpf) [it] not; and the lightH216 of my countenanceH6440 they cast not down.H5307(HiphImpf) [25] I choseH977(QalImpf) out their way,H1870 and satH3427(QalImpf) chief,H7218 and dweltH7931(QalImpf) as a kingH4428 in the army,H1416 as one [that] comfortethH5162(PielImpf) the mourners.H57
