Job's Past Was Glorious
1
Job again took up his parable, and said:
E | UISF | EIUB | ShETh | MShLU
|
| and·he-will·? | I-will·he-will·and·in | ? | from·?
|
|
2
O that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
B | MI- | IThNNI | KIRChI- | QDM
|
| from·he-will | he-will·? | as·he-will·? | east
|
| KIMI | ELUA
|
| as·he-will·from·he-will | I-will·to·and·the
|
|

When His lamp shined above my head, and by His light I walked through darkness;
G | BALU | NRU | OLI | REShI | LEURU
|
| in·the·to·and | we·? | ? | ? | to·I-will·and·?
|
| ELK | ChShK
|
| I-will·to·as | dark
|
|

As I was in the days of my youth, when the converse of God was on my tent;
D | KEShR | AIIThI
|
| as·which | the·he-will·he-will·?
|
| BIMI | ChRFI | BSUD

|
|

When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were about me;
A | BOUD | ShDI | OMDI | SBIBUThI | NORI
|
| in·? | ? | ? | ? | we·?
|
|
6
When my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil!
U | BRChTs | ALIKI | BChMA | UTsUR | ITsUQ
|
| in·? | the·to·he-will·that | in·? | and·? | he-will·?

When I went forth to the gate to the city, when I prepared my seat in the broad place,
Z | BTsEThI | ShOR | OLI- | QRTh | BRChUB | EKIN
|
| in·? | ? | ? | ? | in·? | I-will·as·he-will·we
|

The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the aged rose up and stood;
Ch | REUNI | NORIM | UNChBEU | UIShIShIM | QMU | OMDU
|
| ? | we·? | and·we·? | and·he-will·? | ? | ?
|
|

The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;
T | ShRIM | OTsRU | BMLIM | UKF | IShIMU | LFIAM
|
| ? | ? | in·from·to·sea | and·as·? | he-will·? | to·?
|
|
10
The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

| ? | we·? | we·? | and·to·? | to·? | ?

11
For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me;
IE | KI | EZN | ShMOA | UThEShRNI | UOIN | REThA | UThOIDNI
|
| that | I-will·? | ? | and·? | and·? | ? | and·?
|
|
12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, that had none to help him.

13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came on me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed itself with me; my justice was as a robe and a diadem.

I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

I was a father to the needy; and the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.

I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

Then I said: 'I shall die with my nest, and I shall increase my days as the phoenix;

To me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.

After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped on them.

They waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

I chose out their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforts the mourners.
