The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 184 Job
-- 29{1} Moreover
Job continued his parable, and said, {2} Oh that I were as in months
past, as in the days when God preserved me; {3} When his candle shined
upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; {4}
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
{5} When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
{6} When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers
of oil; {7} When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared
my seat in the street! {8} The young men saw me, and hid themselves:
and the aged arose, and stood up. {9} The princes refrained talking,
and laid their hand on their mouth. {10} The nobles held their peace,
and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. {11} When the
ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to
me: {12} Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless,
and him that had none to help him. {13} The blessing of him that was
ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
{14} I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe
and a diadem. {15} I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
{16} I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched
out. {17} And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil
out of his teeth. {18} Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall
multiply my days as the sand. {19} My root was spread out by the waters,
and the dew lay all night upon my branch. {20} My glory was fresh in
me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. {21} Unto me men gave ear, and
waited, and kept silence at my counsel. {22} After my words they spake
not again; and my speech dropped upon them. {23} And they waited for
me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
{24} If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance
they cast not down. {25} I chose out their way, and sat chief, and
dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
Job -- 30{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. {2} Yea, whereto
might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
{3} For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness
in former time desolate and waste. {4} Who cut up mallows by the bushes,
and juniper roots for their meat. {5} They were driven forth from among
men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) {6} To dwell in the
clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. {7}
Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
{8} They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler
than the earth. {9} And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
{10} They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my
face. {11} Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have
also let loose the bridle before me. {12} Upon my right hand rise the
youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their
destruction. {13} They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they
have no helper. {14} They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters:
in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. {15} Terrors are
turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as
a cloud. {16} And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction
have taken hold upon me. {17} My bones are pierced in me in the night
season: and my sinews take no rest. {18} By the great force of my disease
is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. {19}
He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. {20}
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me
not. {21} Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest
thyself against me. {22} Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest
me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. {23} For I know that
thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. {24}
Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his
destruction. {25} Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not
my soul grieved for the poor? {26} When I looked for good, then evil
came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. {27}
My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. {28}
I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
{29} I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. {30}
My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. {31} My
harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
