Job 29:1-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Moreover Job continued his discourse:

2. “Oh, that I were as in months past,as in the days when God watched over me;

3. when His lamp shone upon my head,and when by His light I walked through darkness;

4. as I was in the days of my autumn youth,when the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;

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

6. when my steps were bathed in butter,and the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!
