Job Remembers His Previous Condition

18 “I used to say: ‘I will die in my home.[a]
    I’m going to live as many days
        as there are grains of sand on the shore.[b]
19 My roots have spread out and have found water,
    and dew settles at night on my branches.
20 My glory renews for me
    and my bow is as good as new in my hand.’
