Job 29:20 — Meaning and Application

Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply {my} days as the sand.

My root {was} spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. {spread...: Heb. opened}

My glory {was} fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. {fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}

Unto me {men} gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
