Job 29 — Context

"Oh that I were as in months gone by, As in the days when God watched over me;

When His lamp shone over my head, And by His light I walked through darkness;

As I was in the prime of my days, When the friendship of God was over my tent;

When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were around me;

When my steps were bathed in butter, And the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

"When I went out to the gate of the city, When I took my seat in the square,

The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood.
