MOREOVER Job continued his parable, and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014018">2</a>. Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014019">3</a>. When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014020">4</a>. As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014021">5</a>. When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014022">6</a>. When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014023">7</a>. When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014024">8</a>. The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014025">9</a>. The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014026">10</a>. The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014027">11</a>. When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014028">12</a>. Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014029">13</a>. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014030">14</a>. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014031">15</a>. I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014032">16</a>. I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014033">17</a>. And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014034">18</a>. Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014035">19</a>. My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014036">20</a>. My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014037">21</a>. Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014038">22</a>. After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014039">23</a>. And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014040">24</a>. If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014041">25</a>. I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.</li>
