Context of Job 29:5
3He was my guide, as if he had a lamp to show me the way. His light kept me safe as I walked in dark places. 4I was strong and well. God was my friend and he protected my home. At that time, Almighty God was still with me. My children were near me. 6I got plenty of milk from my cows, so that my life was easy. My olive trees gave me lots of oil. 7I would go to the gate of the city, and sit there as one of the leaders.
