The Hebrew word for "righteousness" is "tsedeq," which conveys a sense of justice, rightness, and moral integrity. In the ancient Near Eastern context, clothing oneself with righteousness implies adopting a lifestyle that aligns with God's standards. Job's declaration reflects his commitment to living a life that honors God, emphasizing that righteousness is not merely an internal quality but something that should be visibly demonstrated in one's actions.<p><b>and it clothed me</b><br />The imagery of being "clothed" with righteousness suggests a complete covering or enveloping. In biblical times, clothing was not only a necessity but also a symbol of one's status and identity. By stating that righteousness "clothed" him, Job indicates that his identity and reputation were defined by his adherence to God's moral law. This metaphor underscores the transformative power of righteousness, suggesting that it provides protection, dignity, and honor, much like a garment.<p><b>justice was my robe</b><br />The term "justice" here is translated from the Hebrew word "mishpat," which refers to judgment, law, and the act of deciding a case. Job describes justice as his "robe," a garment that covers and defines him. In the ancient world, robes were often associated with authority and respect. By equating justice with his robe, Job emphasizes his role as a fair and impartial leader, one who upholds God's laws and ensures equity in his dealings with others. This highlights the importance of justice as a foundational principle in a godly life.<p><b>and my turban</b><br />The "turban" in this context is a headpiece that signifies wisdom, honor, and distinction. In ancient cultures, head coverings were often worn by those in positions of authority or those who were set apart for a special purpose. By likening justice to his turban, Job suggests that his commitment to justice is not only foundational but also crowns his character, setting him apart as a man of integrity and wisdom. This imagery reinforces the idea that justice is not just an external act but an integral part of one's identity and leadership.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/job/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) <span class= "bld">I put on righteousness.</span>--Comp. <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm" title="I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.">Isaiah 61:10</a>; <a href="/isaiah/28-5.htm" title="In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people,">Isaiah 28:5</a>; <a href="/isaiah/62-3.htm" title="You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.">Isaiah 62:3</a>; <a href="/2_timothy/4-8.htm" title="From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.">2Timothy 4:8</a>; <a href="/james/1-12.htm" title="Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love him.">James 1:12</a>; <a href="/1_peter/5-4.htm" title="And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.">1Peter 5:4</a>; <a href="/1_thessalonians/2-19.htm" title="For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?

Job "put on righteousness;" <span class="accented">i.e.</span> made it as the garment wherewith he clothed himself withal (<a href="/psalms/109-18.htm">Psalm 109:18, 19</a>), covered up with it all his own natural imperfections, and made it part and parcel of his being. It was a beautiful covering, and, when once he had put it on, it clung to him, and could not be removed. It "clothed him," or rather, if we translate the Hebrew literally, "clothed itself with him." putting him on, as he had put it on. It was not merely external; it was internal, a habit of his soul and spirit. <span class="cmt_word">My judgment was as a robe and a diadem</span>; rather, <span class="accented">my justice</span> (see the Revised Version). My "justice," or "righteousness" (for the words are synonymous), was at once my robe and my crown, my necessary clothing and my ornament (comp. <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>, "He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels"). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/29-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I put on</span><br /><span class="heb">לָ֭בַשְׁתִּי</span> <span class="translit">(lā·ḇaš·tî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3847.htm">Strong's 3847: </a> </span><span class="str2">Wrap around, to put on a, garment, clothe</span><br /><br /><span class="word">righteousness,</span><br /><span class="heb">צֶ֣דֶק</span> <span class="translit">(ṣe·ḏeq)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6664.htm">Strong's 6664: </a> </span><span class="str2">The right, equity, prosperity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and it clothed me;</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיִּלְבָּשֵׁ֑נִי</span> <span class="translit">(way·yil·bā·šê·nî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3847.htm">Strong's 3847: </a> </span><span class="str2">Wrap around, to put on a, garment, clothe</span><br /><br /><span class="word">justice</span><br /><span class="heb">מִשְׁפָּטִֽי׃</span> <span class="translit">(miš·pā·ṭî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4941.htm">Strong's 4941: </a> </span><span class="str2">A verdict, a sentence, formal decree, divine law, penalty, justice, privilege, style</span><br /><br /><span class="word">was my robe</span><br /><span class="heb">כִּֽמְעִ֥יל</span> <span class="translit">(kim·‘îl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4598.htm">Strong's 4598: </a> </span><span class="str2">A robe</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and turban.</span><br /><span class="heb">וְ֝צָנִ֗יף</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ṣā·nîp̄)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6797.htm">Strong's 6797: </a> </span><span class="str2">A head-dress</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/job/29-14.htm">Job 29:14 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/job/29-14.htm">OT Poetry: Job 29:14 I put on righteousness and it clothed (Jb) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/job/29-13.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Job 29:13"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Job 29:13" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/job/29-15.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Job 29:15"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Job 29:15" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
