1. Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said,
2. Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3. When his lamp shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4. As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tent;
5. When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6. When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7. When I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the open square!
8. The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9. The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
