Job 29:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷I broke the ·fangs [or jaw] of evil people
and snatched the ·captives [^Lprey; ^Cthe wicked are predators] from their teeth.

¹⁸“I thought, ‘I will ·live for as many days as there are grains of [^Lmultiply my days like] sand,
and I will die in my ·own house [^Lnest].
¹⁹My roots ·will reach down [opened] to the water.
The dew ·will lie [lodged] on the branches all night.
