1. Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
2. Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?
3. When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?
4. As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?
5. When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?
6. When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?
7. When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?
8. The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.
9. The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.
