1. 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!
