Job 29:5

Job's Final Defense

⁴
As I was in the prime of my days,
When the friendship and counsel of God were over my tent,
⁵ 
When the Almighty was still with me
And my boys were around me,
⁶
When my steps [through rich pastures] were washed with butter and cream [from my livestock],
And the rock poured out for me streams of oil [from my olive groves].
