1 Job continued his discourse, saying:
2 If only I could be as in months gone by,in the days when God watched over me,
3 when His lamp shone above my head,and I walked through darkness by His light!
4 I would be as I was in the days of my youthwhen God’s friendship rested on my tent,
5 when the Almighty was still with meand my children were around me,
