Job 29:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ I broke the jaws of godless oppressors
    and plucked their victims from their teeth.

¹⁸ “I thought, ‘Surely I will die surrounded by my family
    after a long, good life.^[a]
19 For I am like a tree whose roots reach the water,
    whose branches are refreshed with the dew.
