Job 29:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ I broke the fangs of the wicked,
    and made him drop the prey.”

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.
