2 “How I long for the months gone by,

for the days when God watched over me,

1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

2 Oh that I were as in months past,

As in the days when God preserved me;

1 Job continued speaking:

2 “I long for the years gone by

when God took care of me,

1 Job further continued his discourse, and said:

2 “Oh, that I were as in months past,

As in the days when God watched over me;

1 Job continued to speak:

2 “How I wish for the months that have passed

and the days when God watched over me.

1 And Job again took up his parable, and said,

2 Oh that I were as in the months of old,

As in the days when God watched over me;

1 And Job continued his parable and said, 2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when †God preserved me;

As in the days when God watched over me;
