King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Moreover[H3254] Job[H347] continued[H5375] his parable,[H4912] and said,[H559]

2. Oh that[H4310] I were[H5414] as in months[H3391] past,[H6924] as in the days[H3117] when God[H433] preserved[H8104] me;

3. When his candle[H5216] shined[H1984] upon[H5921] my head,[H7218] and when by his light[H216] I walked[H1980] through darkness;[H2822]

4. As[H834] I was[H1961] in the days[H3117] of my youth,[H2779] when the secret[H5475] of God[H433] was upon[H5921] my tabernacle;[H168]

5. When the Almighty[H7706] was yet[H5750] with[H5978] me, when my children[H5288] were about[H5439] me;

6. When I washed[H7364] my steps[H1978] with butter,[H2529] and the rock[H6697] poured me out[H6694] [H5978] rivers[H6388] of oil;[H8081]

7. When I went out[H3318] to the gate[H8179] through[H5921] the city,[H7176] when I prepared[H3559] my seat[H4186] in the street![H7339]

8. The young men[H5288] saw[H7200] me, and hid themselves:[H2244] and the aged[H3453] arose,[H6965] and stood up.[H5975]

9. The princes[H8269] refrained[H6113] talking,[H4405] and laid[H7760] their hand[H3709] on their mouth.[H6310]

10. The nobles[H5057] held[H2244] their peace,[H6963] and their tongue[H3956] cleaved[H1692] to the roof of their mouth.[H2441]

11. When[H3588] the ear[H241] heard[H8085] me, then it blessed[H833] me; and when the eye[H5869] saw[H7200] me, it gave witness[H5749] to me:

12. Because[H3588] I delivered[H4422] the poor[H6041] that cried,[H7768] and the fatherless,[H3490] and him that had none[H3808] to help[H5826] him.

13. The blessing[H1293] of him that was ready to perish[H6] came[H935] upon[H5921] me: and I caused the widow's[H490] heart[H3820] to sing for joy.[H7442]

14. I put on[H3847] righteousness,[H6664] and it clothed[H3847] me: my judgment[H4941] was as a robe[H4598] and a diadem.[H6797]

15. I was[H1961] eyes[H5869] to the blind,[H5787] and feet[H7272] was I[H589] to the lame.[H6455]

16. I[H595] was a father[H1] to the poor:[H34] and the cause[H7379] which I knew[H3045] not[H3808] I searched out.[H2713]

17. And I broke[H7665] the jaws[H4973] of the wicked,[H5767] and plucked[H7993] the spoil[H2964] out of his teeth.[H4480] [H8127]

18. Then I said,[H559] I shall die[H1478] in[H5973] my nest,[H7064] and I shall multiply[H7235] my days[H3117] as the sand.[H2344]

19. My root[H8328] was spread out[H6605] by[H413] the waters,[H4325] and the dew[H2919] lay all night[H3885] upon my branch.[H7105]

20. My glory[H3519] was fresh[H2319] in[H5978] me, and my bow[H7198] was renewed[H2498] in my hand.[H3027]

21. Unto me men gave ear,[H8085] and waited,[H3176] and kept silence[H1826] at[H3926] my counsel.[H6098]

22. After[H310] my words[H1697] they spoke not again[H8138] [H3808] and my speech[H4405] dropped[H5197] upon[H5921] them.

23. And they waited[H3176] for me as for the rain;[H4306] and they opened[H6473] their mouth[H6310] wide as for the latter rain.[H4456]

24. If I laughed[H7832] on[H413] them, they believed[H539] it not;[H3808] and the light[H216] of my countenance[H6440] they cast not down.[H5307] [H3808]

25. I chose out[H977] their way,[H1870] and sat[H3427] chief,[H7218] and dwelt[H7931] as a king[H4428] in the army,[H1416] as[H834] one that comforteth[H5162] the mourners.[H57]
