Job 29:2-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 “O that I were as in the months of old,
as in the days when God watched over me,(A)
3 when his lamp shone over my head,
and by his light I walked through darkness,(B)
4 when I was in my prime,
when the friendship of God was upon my tent,(C)
5 when the Almighty[a] was still with me,
when my children were around me,
6 when my steps were washed with milk
and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!(D)
