Job 29:1-6

Job’s Final Defense 1Job continued his discourse:

2“How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,

3when his lamp shone on my head and by his light I walked through darkness!

4Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,

5when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,

6when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
