Biblia
- 1
- And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: --
- 2
- Who doth make me as `in' months past, As `in' the days of God's preserving me?
- 3
- In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk `through' darkness.
- 4
- As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
- 5
- When yet the Mighty One `is' with me. Round about me -- my young ones,
- 6
- When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock `is' with me rivulets of oil.
- 7
- When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.
- 8
- Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged have risen -- they stood up.
- 9
- Princes have kept in words, And a hand they place on their mouth.
- 10
- The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved.
- 11
- For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye hath seen, and testifieth `to' me.
- 12
- For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper.
- 13
- The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing.
- 14
- Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.
- 15
- Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame `am' I.
- 16
- A father I `am' to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.
- 17
- And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.
- 18
- And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.'
- 19
- My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch.
- 20
- My honour `is' fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed.
- 21
- To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
- 22
- After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop,
- 23
- And they wait as `for' rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide `As' for the latter rain.
- 24
- I laugh unto them -- they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.
- 25
- I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort.
