Job 29:2
Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?

Job 29:3
When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?

Job 29:4
As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?

Job 29:5
When the almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?

Job 29:6
When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?

Job 29:7
When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?

Job 29:8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.

Job 29:9
The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.

Job 29:10
The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.

Job 29:11
The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:

Job 29:12
Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless that had no helper.

Job 29:13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.

Job 29:14
I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.

Job 29:15
I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.

Job 29:16
I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.

Job 29:17
I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.

And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.

Job 29:19
My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.

My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.

Job 29:21
They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.

Job 29:22
To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.

Job 29:23
They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.

Job 29:24
If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.

Job 29:25
If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
