"I was then just as in the days of my youth, when God was privately in my tabernacle. "
— Job 29:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;”
“As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the friendship of God was upon my tent; ”
“as I was in the ripeness of my days, when the friendship of God was in my tent,”
“just as I was in my most productive time, when God’s intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,”
“As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?”
“As I was in my flowering years, when my tent was covered by the hand of God;”
“As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;”
Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:
Who will grant to me that I might be as I was in former months, according to the days when God kept watch over me?
At that time, his lamp shined over my head, and by his light, I walked through the darkness.
I was then just as in the days of my youth, when God was privately in my tabernacle.
At that time, the Almighty was with me and my children surrounded me.
Then, I washed my feet with butter, and a boulder poured out rivers of oil for me.
When I went to the gate of the city, or to the main street, they prepared a chair for me.
