14 Chilungamo chinali ngati chovala changa;
chiweruzo cholungama ndiye chinali mkanjo ndi nduwira yanga.
15 Ndinali ngati maso kwa anthu osapenya;
ndinali ngati mapazi kwa anthu olumala.
16 Ndinali ngati abambo kwa anthu aumphawi;

18 “Ndinkaganiza kuti, ‘Ndidzafera mʼnyumba yanga,
masiku a moyo wanga ali ochuluka ngati mchenga.
19 Mizu yanga idzatambalalira ku madzi,
ndipo mame adzakhala pa nthambi zanga usiku wonse.
20 Ulemerero wanga udzakhala wosaguga mwa ine,
ndipo uta wanga udzakhala watsopano nthawi zonse mʼdzanja langa.’
21 “Anthu ankamvetsera zimene ndinkanena mwachidwi,
ankadikira atakhala chete kuti amve malangizo anga.
22 Ndikayankhula, iwo sankayankhulanso;
mawu anga ankawagwira mtima.
23 Ankayembekezera ine monga momwe amayembekezera mvula
ndipo ankalandira mawu anga ngati mvula ya mʼmalimwe.
24 Ndikawasekerera, iwo sankatha kukhulupirira;
kuwala kwa nkhope yanga chinali chinthu chamtengowapatali kwa iwowo.
25 Ndinkawasankhira njira yawo ndipo ndinkawatsogolera ngati mfumu;
ndinkakhala ngati mfumu pakati pa gulu lake lankhondo;
ndinali ngati msangalatsi pakati pa anthu olira.”

Job’s Final Defense
29 Job continued his discourse:(A)
2 “How I long for the months gone by,(B)
for the days when God watched over me,(C)
3 when his lamp shone on my head
and by his light I walked through darkness!(D)
4 Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,
when God’s intimate friendship(E) blessed my house,(F)
5 when the Almighty was still with me
and my children(G) were around me,(H)
6 when my path was drenched with cream(I)
and the rock(J) poured out for me streams of olive oil.(K)
7 “When I went to the gate(L) of the city
and took my seat in the public square,
8 the young men saw me and stepped aside(M)
and the old men rose to their feet;(N)
9 the chief men refrained from speaking(O)
and covered their mouths with their hands;(P)
10 the voices of the nobles were hushed,(Q)
and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.(R)
11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,(S)
12 because I rescued the poor(T) who cried for help,
and the fatherless(U) who had none to assist them.(V)
13 The one who was dying blessed me;(W)
I made the widow’s(X) heart sing.
14 I put on righteousness(Y) as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.(Z)
15 I was eyes(AA) to the blind
and feet to the lame.(AB)
16 I was a father to the needy;(AC)
I took up the case(AD) of the stranger.(AE)
17 I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims(AF) from their teeth.(AG)
18 “I thought, ‘I will die in my own house,
my days as numerous as the grains of sand.(AH)
19 My roots will reach to the water,(AI)
and the dew will lie all night on my branches.(AJ)
20 My glory will not fade;(AK)
the bow(AL) will be ever new in my hand.’(AM)
21 “People listened to me expectantly,
waiting in silence for my counsel.(AN)
22 After I had spoken, they spoke no more;(AO)
my words fell gently on their ears.(AP)
23 They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.(AQ)
24 When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face(AR) was precious to them.[a](AS)
25 I chose the way for them and sat as their chief;(AT)
I dwelt as a king(AU) among his troops;
I was like one who comforts mourners.(AV)
