Job 29:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 Job continued to speak. He said,
2 "How I long for the good old days! That's when God watched over me.
3 The light of his lamp shone on me. I walked through darkness by his light.
4 Those were the best days of my life. That's when God's friendship blessed my house.
5 The Mighty One was still with me. My children were all around me.
6 The path in front of me was like sweet cream. It was as if the rock poured out olive oil for me.
7 "In those days I went to the city gate. I took my seat as a member of the council.
8 Young people who saw me stepped to one side. Old people stood up as I approached.
9 The leaders stopped speaking. They covered their mouths with their hands.
10 The voices of the nobles became quiet. Their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.
11 Everyone who heard me said good things about me. Those who saw me honored me.
12 That's because I saved poor people who cried out for help. I saved helpless children whose fathers had died.
13 Those who were dying gave me their blessing. I made the hearts of widows sing.
14 I put on a godly life as if it were my clothes. Fairness was my robe and my turban.
15 I was like eyes for those who were blind. I was like feet for those who couldn't walk.
16 I was like a father to needy people. I stood up for strangers in court.
17 Sinners are like animals that have powerful teeth. But I took from their mouths the people they had caught.
18 "I thought, 'I'll die in my own house. The days of my life will be as many as the grains of sand.
19 My roots will reach down to the water. The dew will lie all night on my branches.
20 I will remain healthy and strong. My bow will stay as good as new in my hand.'
21 "People wanted to hear what I had to say. They waited silently for the advice I gave them.
22 After I had spoken, they didn't speak anymore. My words fell gently on their ears.
23 They waited for me just as they would wait for showers. They drank my words just as they would drink the spring rain.
24 When I smiled at them, they could hardly believe it. The light of my face lifted their spirits.
25 I chose the way they should go. I sat as their chief. I lived as a king lives among his troops. I was like someone who comforts those who are sad.
1 Moreover H3254 W-VHPMS Job H347 EMS continued H5375 VQFC his parable H4912 CMS-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS ,
2 Oh that H4310 IPRO I were H5414 VQY3MS-1MS as in months H3391 K-CMP past H6924 NMS , as in the days H3117 K-CMP when God H433 NAME-4MS preserved H8104 VQY3MS-1MS me ;
3 When his candle H5216 CMS-3MS shined H1984 B-VHFC-3MS upon H5921 PREP my head H7218 CMS-1MS , and when by his light H216 L-CMS-3MS I walked H1980 VQY1MS through darkness H2822 NMS ;
4 As H834 K-RPRO I was H1961 VQQ1MS in the days H3117 B-CMP of my youth H2779 CMS-1MS , when the secret H5475 B-CMS of God H433 NAME-4MS was upon H5921 PREP my tabernacle H168 CMS-1MS ;
5 When the Almighty H7706 EDS was yet H5750 B-ADV with H5978 PREP-1MS me , when my children H5288 CMP-1MS were about H5439 ADV-1MS me ;
6 When I washed H7364 B-VQFC my steps H1978 CMP-1MS with butter H2529 B-NFS , and the rock H6697 W-NMS poured me out H6694 VQY3MS rivers H6388 CMP of oil H8081 CMS ;
7 When I went out H3318 B-VQFC-1MS to the gate H8179 NMS through H5921 PREP the city H7176 NFS , when I prepared H3559 VHY1MS my seat H4186 CMS-1MS in the street H7339 BD-NFS !
8 The young men H5288 NMP saw H7200 VQQ3MP-1MS me , and hid themselves H2244 W-VNQ3MP : and the aged H3453 W-AMP arose H6965 VQQ3MP , and stood up H5975 VQQ3MP .
9 The princes H8269 NMP refrained H6113 VQQ3MP talking H4405 B-NFP , and laid H7760 VQY3MP their hand H3709 W-NFS on their mouth H6310 L-CMS-3MP .
10 The nobles H5057 NMP held H2244 VNP3MP their peace H6963 CMS , and their tongue H3956 W-CMS-3MP cleaved H1692 VQQ3FS to the roof of their mouth H2441 L-CMS-3MP .
11 When H3588 CONJ the ear H241 NFS heard H8085 VQQ3FS me , then it blessed H833 W-VPY3FS-1MS me ; and when the eye H5869 W-NMS saw H7200 VQQ3FS me , it gave witness H5749 W-VHY3FS-1MS to me :
12 Because H3588 CONJ I delivered H4422 VPY1MS the poor H6041 AMS that cried H7768 VPPMS , and the fatherless H3490 W-NMS , and him that had none H3808 W-NPAR to help H5826 VQPMS him .
13 The blessing H1293 CFS of him that was ready to perish H6 VQPMS came H935 VQY2MS upon H5921 PREP-1MS me : and I caused the widow H490 NFS \'s heart H3820 W-CMS to sing for joy H7442 VHY1MS .
14 I put on H3847 VQQ1MS righteousness H6664 NMS , and it clothed H3847 W-VQY3MS-1MS me : my judgment H4941 CMS-1MS was as a robe H4598 K-NMS and a diadem H6797 W-NMS .
15 I was H1961 VQQ1MS eyes H5869 NMD to the blind H5787 LD-AMS , and feet H7272 W-NFD was I H589 PPRO-1MS to the lame H6455 LD-AMS .
16 I H595 PPRO-1MS was a father H1 NMS to the poor H34 LD-NMP : and the cause H7379 W-NMS which I knew H3045 VQY1MS not H3808 NADV I searched out H2713 VQY1MS-3MS .
17 And I broke H7665 W-VPY1MS-3FS the jaws H4973 CFP of the wicked H5767 NMS , and plucked H7993 VHY1MS the spoil H2964 NMS out of his teeth H8127 WM-CMD-3MS .
18 Then I said H559 W-VQY1MS , I shall die H1478 VQY1MS in H5973 PREP my nest H7064 CMS-1MS , and I shall multiply H7235 VHY1MS my days H3117 NMP as the sand H2344 WKD-NMS .
19 My root H8328 NMS-1MS was spread out H6605 VWPMS by H413 PREP the waters H4325 NMD , and the dew H2919 W-NMS lay all night H3885 VQY3MS upon my branch H7105 B-CMS-1MS .
20 My glory H3519 CMS-1MS was fresh H2319 AMS in H5978 PREP-1MS me , and my bow H7198 W-CFS-1MS was renewed H2498 VHY3FS in my hand H3027 B-CFS-1MS .
21 Unto me men gave ear H8085 VQQ3MP , and waited H3176 W-VPY3MP , and kept silence H1826 W-VQY3MP at H3926 PREP my counsel H6098 CFS-1MS .
22 After H310 PREP my words H1697 CMS-1MS they spoke not again H8138 VQY3MP and my speech H4405 CFS-1MS dropped H5197 VQY3FS upon H5921 W-PREP-3MP-3MS them .
23 And they waited H3176 W-VPQ3MP for me as for the rain H4306 KD-NMS ; and they opened H6473 VQQ3MP their mouth H6310 W-CMS-3MP wide as for the latter rain H4456 L-NMS .
24 If I laughed H7832 VQY1MS on H413 PREP-3MP them , they believed H539 VHY3MP it not H3808 NADV ; and the light H216 W-CMS of my countenance H6440 NMP-1MS they cast not down H5307 VHY3MP-3FP .
25 I chose out H977 VQY1MS their way H1870 CMS-3MP , and sat H3427 W-VQY1MS chief H7218 NMS , and dwelt H7931 W-VQY1MS as a king H4428 K-NMS in the army H1416 BD-NMS , as H834 K-RPRO one that comforteth H5162 VPY3MS the mourners H57 AMP .
