Job 29:2-6

^{Tools
2}

“Oh that I were as in months gone by,
As in the days when God ^(A)watched over me;

^{Tools
3}

When ^(B)His lamp shone over my head,
And ^(C)by His light I walked through darkness;

^{Tools
4}

As I was in ^(a)the prime of my days,
When the ^(b)^(D)friendship of God was over my tent;

^{Tools
5}

When ^(c)the Almighty was yet with me,
And my children were around me;

^{Tools
6}

When my steps were bathed in ^(E)butter,
And the ^(F)rock poured out for me streams of oil!
