1Job again 1
2“ Oh 2 as in the days when God watched over me; 1
3when 2 and by his light I walked through darkness, 1
4as 2 when the friendship of God was in my tent, 1
5when 2 and my children were around me, 1
6when my 2 and the rock poured out streams of oil for me, 1
7when 2 when I prepared my seat in the street. 1
8The 2 The aged rose up and stood. 1
9The 2 and laid their hand on their mouth. 1
10The 2 and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth. 1
11For 2 and when the eye saw me, it commended me, 1
12because 2 and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him, 1
13the 2 and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. 1
14I put 2 My justice was as a robe and a diadem. 1
15I 2 and feet to the lame. 1
16I 2 I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know. 1
17I 2 and plucked the prey out of his teeth. 1
18Then 2 I will count my days as the sand. 1
19My 2 The dew lies all night on my branch. 1
20My 2 My bow is renewed in my hand.’ 1
21“Men listened 2 and kept silence for my counsel. 1
22After 2 My speech fell on them. 1
23They 2 Their mouths drank as with the spring rain. 1
24I 2 They didn’t reject the light of my face. 1
25I 2 I lived as a king in the army, 2 as one who comforts the mourners.
