- 4. As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
- 5. When yet the Mighty One `is' with me. Round about me -- my young ones,
- 6. When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock `is' with me rivulets of oil.
- 7. When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.

- 20. My honour `is' fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed.
- 21. To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
- 22. After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop,
