1 Job continued to speak:
2 “How I wish for the months that have passed.I wish for the days when God watched over me.
3 I wish for the days when God’s lamp shined on my head.And I wish for the time I walked through darkness by his light.
4 I wish for the days when I was at my strongest,when God’s close friendship blessed my house.
5 That was when my children were all around me.And God All-Powerful was still with me.
6 Life was so good. It was as if my path were covered with cream.It was as if even the rocks poured out streams of olive oil for me.
