Job 29:1 - 29:6

And Job continued to lift up his discourse and said, 2

“Oh that I were as in months gone by,

As in the days when God kept me,

When His lamp shone over my head,

And by His light I walked through darkness,

As I was in the prime of my days,

When the intimate counsel with God was over my tent,

When the Almighty was yet with me,

And my children were around me,

When my steps were bathed in butter,

And the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
