"Job’s Confidence“Then I thought,‘I will die in my own home, my days as numerous as the grains of sand."
— Job 29:18, NET Bible
“Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.”
“Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand: ”
“Then I said, 'I shall die in my own house, I shall number my days as the sand.”
“And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.”
“Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;”
“Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.”
I was eyes for the blind and feet for the lame;
I was a father to the needy, and I investigated the case of the person I did not know;
I broke the fangs of the wicked, and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
Job’s Confidence“Then I thought,‘I will die in my own home, my days as numerous as the grains of sand.
My roots reach the water, and the dew lies on my branches all night long.
My glory will always be fresh in me, and my bow ever new in my hand.’
Job’s Reputation“People listened to me and waited silently; they kept silent for my advice.
