Tree Of Life Version

Job 29:8-14 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

8. young men would see me and hide, old men would rise and stand;

9. princes refrained from talking and put their hand over their mouths;

10. the voice of the nobles was hushed and their tongue stuck to their palate.

11. “When the ear heard, it called me blessed, and when the eye saw me, it commended me;

12. for I saved the poor who cried for help, and the orphan who had no one to help him;

13. the blessing of the dying man came on me, and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.

14. I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was as my robe and turban.
