Job 29:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ I wish for the days when God’s lamp shined on my head.
    And I wish for the time I walked through darkness by his light.
⁴ I wish for the days when I was at my strongest,
    when God’s close friendship blessed my house.
⁵ That was when my children were all around me.
    And God All-Powerful was still with me.
