Job 29

Job laments the loss of his former prosperity, fondly recalling the days when his lamp shone by God's light, the Almighty was with him, and he enjoyed intimate divine counsel over his tent[1][2][4]. He reminisces about his respected leadership at the city gate, where young men hid, elders stood, princes listened silently, and he delivered the poor, fatherless, widows, blind, lame, and victims from the wicked, expecting to die securely after a long life with renewed glory[2][3][5].
