Job 29:5-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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