King James Version with Apocrypha
"Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;"
— Job 29:2, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;”
“ Oh that I were as in the months of old, As in the days when God watched over me; ”
“Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?”
“If only I might again be as I was in the months which are past, in the days when God was watching over me!”
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
