1. Then Job continued his speech:
2. “O that I could be as I was in the months now gone,in the days when God watched over me,
3. when he caused his lamp to shine upon my head,and by his light I walked through darkness;
4. just as I was in my most productive time,when God’s intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,
5. when the Almighty was still with meand my children were around me;
6. when my steps were bathed with butterand the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil!
