1. Moreover Iyov continued his mashal, and said,
2. Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when Eloah was shomer over me;
3. When His ner (lamp) shined upon my rosh, and when by His ohr I walked through choshech;
4. As I was in the days of my prime, when the Sod Eloah (friendship, counsel of G-d) was over my ohel;
5. When Shaddai was yet with me, when my children were around me;
6. When I washed my steps with khemah, and the tzur poured me out streams of shemen;
7. When I went out to the sha'ar through the city, when I took my moshav in the rekhov!
8. The ne'arim saw me, and stepped aside, and the aged arose, and stood up.
