| Job 29:2 | Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when +God preserved me; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 29:3 | When his lamp shone over my head, [and] by his light I walked through darkness; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 29:4 | As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret counsel of +God was over my tent, | |||||||||||||||

| Job 29:7 | When I went out to the gate by the city, when I prepared my seat on the broadway, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 29:8 | The young men saw me, and hid themselves; and the aged arose [and] stood up; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 29:9 | Princes refrained from talking, and laid the hand on their mouth; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 29:10 | The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to their palate. | |||||||||||||||

| Job 29:20 | My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow be renewed in my hand. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 29:21 | Unto me they listened, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel: | |||||||||||||||

| Job 29:25 | I chose their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth mourners. | |||||||||||||||
