Job 29:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 Job took up his subject again:

2 Oh, that life was like it used to be, like days when God watched over me;

3 when his lamp shone on my head, I walked by his light in the dark;

4 when I was in my prime; when God's counsel was in my tent;

5 when the Almighty was with me, my children around me;

6 when my steps were washed with cream and a rock poured out pools of oil for me.

New International Version NIV

1 Job continued his discourse:

2 “How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,

3 when his lamp shone on my head and by his light I walked through darkness!

4 Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,

5 when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,

6 when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
