1. 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 shone on my head,and by his light I walked through darkness,
4. as I was in the ripeness of my days,when the friendship of God was in my tent,
5. when the Almighty was yet with me,and my children were around me,
