1. Then Job again took up his discourse and said,
2. “O that I were as in the months before, as in the days when God watched over me,
3. when his shining lamp was over my head— by his light I walked through darkness—
4. as when I was in the days of my prime, when God’s confiding was over my house,
5. when Shaddaiwas still with me, my children were all around me,
6. when my paths were washed in sour milk, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me.
