The King James Version Bible

Job 29:1-7

  1. Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

  2. Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

  3. When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

  4. As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

  5. When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

  6. When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

  7. When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
