Job 29:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
4Just as I was in the days of my youth, When the protection of God was over my tent; 5When the Almighty was still with me, And my children were around me; 6When my steps were bathed in cream, And the rock poured out streams of oil for me! 7When I went out to the gate of the city, When I took my seat in the public square, 8The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood. 9The leaders stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 29
4I would be as I was in the days of my youth when God's friendship rested on my tent, 5when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
6when my feet were bathed in curds and the rock poured out streams of oil for me!
7When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the town square,
8the young men saw me and withdrew, while older men stood to their feet.
9City officials stopped talking and covered their mouths with their hands.

Chapter 29
4as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent, 5when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were all around me, 6when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil! 7When I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the square, 8the young men saw me and withdrew, and the aged rose and stood; 9the princes refrained from talking and laid their hand on their mouth;New International Version
Chapter 29
4Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God's intimate friendship blessed my house, 5when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
6when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
7When I went to the gate of the city and took my seat in the public square,
8the young men saw me and stepped aside and the old men rose to their feet;
9the chief men refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands;
