New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 29
6 When my steps were bathed in butter, And the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
7 "When I went out to the gate of the city, When I took my seat in the square,
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood.
9 "The princes stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;
10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to their palate.
11 "For when the ear heard, it called me blessed, And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me,
12 Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.
13 "The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
14 "I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 "I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame.
16 "I was a father to the needy, And I investigated the case which I did not know.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
