Job 29:1-6

Common English Bible

² Oh, that life was like it used to be,
        like days when God watched over me;
³     when his lamp shone on my head,
        I walked by his light in the dark;
⁴     when I was in my prime;
        when God’s counsel was in my tent;
⁵     when the Almighty was with me,
        my children around me;
⁶     when my steps were washed with cream
        and a rock poured out pools of oil for me.
