My root is spread out to the waters.
The dew lies all night on my branch.
My root is spread out to the waters.
The dew lies all night on my branch.
Job 29:16–22
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.
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.
After my words they didn’t speak again.
My speech fell on them.
