29:1 addidit quoque Iob adsumens parabolam suam et dixit 1 Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
29:2 quis mihi tribuat ut sim iuxta menses pristinos secundum dies quibus Deus custodiebat me 2 Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?

29:23 expectabant me sicut pluviam et os suum aperiebant quasi ad imbrem serotinum 23 They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.
29:24 si quando ridebam ad eos non credebant et lux vultus mei non cadebat in terram 24 If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.
29:25 si voluissem ire ad eos sedebam primus cumque sederem quasi rex circumstante exercitu eram tamen maerentium consolator 25 If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.
