Job 29
Job eighth reaction in parables
1 in addition, Job lifted up his parables and say,
2 in the early period, when the Extremely Mighty God (Eloahh eloah) gave the days and the moons/months to be kept;
3 when the head-masters/chief men can walk around in the darkness with the light of lamps to give praise;
4 the days of close deliberation for secret from the Extremely Mighty God (Eloahh eloah), instead of reviling/reproaching in our tents.
5 - when the young children are all around me instead of the overpowering/burly one (shadday);
6 - when a division/faction were washing things during processing of oil and butter under the steep sharp-rock.
7 oh what an assembly/cooperative society (moshav), on a broad street/square, that goes out to the gate to prepare for the city-affairs!
8 - there, you see young children hiding - and aged-men rise up, standing firm.
9 - there, the words of the Rulers/head-persons are halted/withheld, and they will put their mouths on their palms;
10 - there, the voices of Commanders will be concealed and their tongues shall cling to the palate of their mouth:
11 to be honest/happy, it is what your ears have heard and what your eyes have seen, that you should testify.
12 so, the afflicted who cry to be free will be delivered and the orphans will be helped:
13 so that benediction (berakah) will come to a heart that is perishing and widows will shout for joy;
14 so that, HIS verdicts of Justification (tsedek) will be like the coat/robe to be clothed with, and turban/diadem to be wrapped with.
15 and they will be like eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame;
16 I know the contention/contest of researching into who will be a father to the needy.
17 it is injustice/wrong-doing to throw fresh-meat into a biter/molar tooth when it should be broken/torn with teeth.
18 it is said, we must multiply like sand, as though in a nest till the day we give up the ghost.
19 if there will be a harvest, roots must open wide for water and dew must have tarried overnight.
20 things has changed and there is glory along-side with a new (technology) of bow.
21 wait and be silent FOR the sake of (lemo) listening to my advice/counsel -
22 - -my spoken-words are like drops/drips of liquid and afterwards you can transmute/alter them by your words;
23 if your mouth yawn/open up for rain, you must wait for spring/latter rain (malkosh-march/April rain).
24 - if you believe light will will still fall down on all faces, you will play and laugh.
25 - - and you can choose to dwell and comfort those lamenting on the way, instead of being in the army/soldiers of headmasters/chiefs that sit down with the king.
