JOB’S FINAL CLAIM OF INNOCENCE

29 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!k

4 I would be as I was in the days of my youth

when God’s friendshipl rested on my tent,

5 when the Almighty was still with me

and my children were around me,
