1Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,continued: Heb. added to take up
2Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;candle: or, lamp
4As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;me: Heb. with me
7When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.The nobles�: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid
11When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12Kerana aku telah menyelamatkan orang miskin yang memanggil tolong, dan yang tidak berayah, dan orang yang tidak mempunyai sesiapa pun untuk membantunya.
13Ucapan berkat orang yang sudah siap untuk binasa diberi kepadaku: dan aku menyebabkan hati balu untuk menyanyi kerana sukacita.
14Aku menaruh pada diriku kewajaran, dan ia menjadi pakaianku: penghakimanku adalah sebagai jubah dan mahkota.
15Aku merupakan mata kepada orang buta, dan kaki kepada orang lumpuh.
16Aku menjadi bapa kepada orang miskin: dan perjuangan yang aku tidak tahu pun kuselidiki.
17And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grindersplucked: Heb. cast
18Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.spread�: Heb. opened
20My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.fresh: Heb. newrenewed: Heb. changed
21Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25Aku telah memilih luar daripada jalan mereka, dan telah mengekalkan kedudukan ketua, dan berdiam sebagai seorang raja di angkatan, sebagai seorang yang menghiburkan orang yang meratap.
