Job 29:1-6
Lexham English Bible
Job’s Final Defense
29 Then[a] Job again took up his discourse and said,
2 “O that I were[b] as in the months before,
as in the days when God watched over me,
3 when his shining lamp was over my head—
by his light I walked through darkness—
4 as when I was in the days of my prime,
when God’s confiding was over my house,[c]
5 when Shaddaiwas still with me,
my children were all around me,
6 when my paths were washed in sour milk,
and the rock poured out streams of oil for me.
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!
