Job 29:2 in context

The verses around it, from Job 29.

1 And 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 above my head, and by His light I walked through the darkness,

4 when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God rested on my tent,

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

6 when my steps were bathed in cream and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
