Job 29:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ “I thought, ‘I will live for as many days as there are grains of sand,
    and I will die in my own house.
¹⁹ My roots will reach down to the water.
    The dew will lie on the branches all night.
²⁰ New honors will come to me continually,
    and I will always have great strength.’
