Job 29:1-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

29 ¶ Moreover, Job continued his parable and said,

² Oh, that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

³ when his lamp shone upon my head, and by its light I walked in the darkness;

⁴ as I was in the days of my youth, when God was familiar in my tent;

⁵ when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

⁶ when I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil!
