Job 29:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ “I thought, ‘I’ll die in my own house.
    The days of my life will be as many as the grains of sand.
¹⁹ My roots will reach down to the water.
    The dew will lie all night on my branches.
²⁰ I will remain healthy and strong.
    My bow will stay as good as new in my hand.’
