Job 29:1-6

Revised Standard Version

² “Oh, that I were as in the months of old,
    as in the days when God watched over me;
³ when his lamp shone upon my head,
    and by his light I walked through darkness;
⁴ as I was in my autumn days,
    when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
⁵ when the Almighty was yet with me,
    when my children were about me;
⁶ when my steps were washed with milk,
    and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
