Job 29:20
My glory is ever new within me, and my bow is renewed in my hand.’
BSB
ASV
My glory is fresh in me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.
KJV
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
My glory was fresh in me - My vegetative power was great; my glory - my splendid blossom, large and mellow fruit, was always in season, and in every season. My bow was renewed - I was never without means to accomplish all my wishes. I had prosperity everywhere.
Glory - My reputation was growing every day. Bow - My strength which is signified by a bow, Gen. xlix, 24; 1 Sam. ii, 4, because in ancient times the bow and arrows were the principal instruments of war.

THE first text tells us of the renown of Job and of the way in which the Providence of God continued to maintain the glory of his estate, his bodily health and his prosperity. He was for many days, months, years, continuously prospered of God. Everything to which he set his hand succeeded. God had set a hedge about him and all that he had, so that none broke through to molest him. He grew richer, he grew more influential, he had more honor in the sight of his fellow men each morning that he walked to the gate.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
