THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Job 29:18 in context

Job 29:15–21

I was eyes to the blind,

and feet to the lame.

I was a father to the needy.

I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.

I broke the jaws of the unrighteous

and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

Selected verse

Then I said, ‘I will die in my own house,

I will count my days as the sand.

My root is spread out to the waters.

The dew lies all night on my branch.

My glory is fresh in me.

My bow is renewed in my hand.’

“Men listened to me, waited,

and kept silence for my counsel.
