Job’s Past Was Glorious

29 And Job again took up his discussion and said,


“Oh, that I were as in the months of old,
As in the days when God watched over me,(A)

When His lamp shone upon my head
And by His light I walked through darkness;

As I was in the prime of my days,
When the friendship and counsel of God were over my tent,

When [a]the Almighty was still with me
And my boys were around me,

When my steps [through rich pastures] were washed with butter and cream [from my livestock],
And the rock poured out for me streams of oil [from my olive groves].
