1. Job continued his discourse, saying:
2. If only I could be as in months gone by,in the days when God watched over me,
3. when His lamp shone above my head,and I walked through darkness by His light!
4. I would be as I was in the days of my youthwhen God’s friendship rested on my tent,
5. when the Almighty was still with meand my children were around me,
