Job29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.

Job29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

Job29:11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

Job29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

Job29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

Job29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

Job29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

Job29:16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

Job29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

Job29:18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.

Job29:19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.

Job29:20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.

Job29:21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

Job29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

Job29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

Job29:24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

Job29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

Job30:1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

Job30:2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?

Job30:3 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

Job30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

Job30:5 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

Job30:6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

Job30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

Job30:8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

Job30:9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

Job30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

Job30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

Job30:12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

Job30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

Job30:14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

Job30:15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

Job30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

Job30:17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

Job30:18 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

Job30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

Job30:20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

Job30:21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

Job30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

Job30:23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

Job30:24 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.

Job30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

Job30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

Job30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

Job30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

Job30:29 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

Job30:30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

Job30:31 My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

Job31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

Job31:2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

Job31:3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?

Job31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

Job31:5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;

Job31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.

Job31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;

Job31:8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

Job31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

Job31:10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.

Job31:11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.

Job31:12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

Job31:13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

Job31:14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

Job31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

Job31:16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

Job31:17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

Job31:18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

Job31:19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

Job31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

Job31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

Job31:22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

Job31:23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

Job31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

Job31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

Job31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

Job31:27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

Job31:28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

Job31:29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

Job31:30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

Job31:31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

Job31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
