Job 29:1-9 ▼

1 And Job continued to lift up his discourse, and he said,

2 “Who will make me as in months past, as the days when God was keeping me?

3 In His lamp shining upon my head, by His light I walked through darkness,

4 as I was in the days of my harvest time, when the counsel of God was upon my tent,

5 when yet Shaddai was with me, my children around me,

6 with the washing of my steps with cream, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

7 Or in my going out to the gate upon the town, in the square I established my seat;

8 the young men saw me and hid themselves, and old men arose and stood;

9 the princes refrained from words, and they put a hand on their mouth;
