절	Good News Translation (1992)	King James Version
1	Job's Final Statement of His Case Job began speaking again.	Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2	Job If only my life could once again be as it was when God watched over me.	Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3	God was always with me then and gave me light as I walked through the darkness.	When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4	Those were the days when I was prosperous, and the friendship of God protected my home.	As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5	Almighty God was with me then, and I was surrounded by all my children.	When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6	My cows and goats gave plenty of milk, and my olive trees grew in the rockiest soil.	When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7	Whenever the city elders met and I took my place among them,	When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8	young men stepped aside as soon as they saw me, and old men stood up to show me respect.	The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9	The leaders of the people would stop talking;	The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10	even the most important men kept silent.	The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11	Everyone who saw me or heard of me had good things to say about what I had done.	When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12	When the poor cried out, I helped them; I gave help to orphans who had nowhere to turn.	Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13	People who were in deepest misery praised me, and I helped widows find security.	The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14	I have always acted justly and fairly.	I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15	I was eyes for the blind, and feet for the lame.	I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16	I was like a father to the poor and took the side of strangers in trouble.	I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17	I destroyed the power of cruel men and rescued their victims.	And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18	I always expected to live a long life and to die at home in comfort.	Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19	I was like a tree whose roots always have water and whose branches are wet with dew.	My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20	Everyone was always praising me, and my strength never failed me.	My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21	When I gave advice, people were silent and listened carefully to what I said;	Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22	they had nothing to add when I had finished. My words sank in like drops of rain;	After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23	everyone welcomed them just as farmers welcome rain in spring.	And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24	I smiled on them when they had lost confidence; my cheerful face encouraged them.	If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25	I took charge and made the decisions; I led them as a king leads his troops, and gave them comfort in their despair.	I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
