1 Job continued his discourse:
2 ‘How I long for the months gone by,for the days when God watched over me,
3 when his lamp shone on my headand by his light I walked through darkness!
4 Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,
5 when the Almighty was still with meand my children were around me,
6 when my path was drenched with creamand the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
