Job 29:1-6
Authorized (King James) Version
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 candle shined upon my head,
and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 as I was in the days of my youth,
when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
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;
Job 29:1-6
American Standard Version
29 And Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in the months of old,
As in the days when God watched over me;
3 When his lamp shined [a]upon my head,
And by his light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in [b]the ripeness of my days,
When the [c]friendship of God was upon my tent;
5 When the Almighty was yet with me,
And my children were about me;
6 When my steps were washed with butter,
And the rock poured me out streams of oil!
