29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
Voice Reading
29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Voice Reading
29:11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Voice Reading
29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
Voice Reading
29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Voice Reading
29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
Voice Reading
29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
Voice Reading
29:16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
Voice Reading
29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Voice Reading
29:18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
Voice Reading
29:19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
Voice Reading
29:20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
Voice Reading
29:21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
Voice Reading
29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
Voice Reading
29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Voice Reading
29:24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
Voice Reading
29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

Chapter 30
30:1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
Voice Reading
30:2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
Voice Reading
30:3 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
Voice Reading
30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
Voice Reading
30:5 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
Voice Reading
30:6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
Voice Reading
30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
