Job 29:1-6

Modern English Version

² “Oh, that I were as in months past,
    as in the days when God watched over me;
³ when His lamp shone upon my head,
    and when by His light I walked through darkness;
⁴ as I was in the days of my autumn youth,
    when the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;
⁵ when the Almighty was still with me,
    when my children were around me;
⁶ when my steps were bathed in butter,
    and the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!
