Olam 2

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that <i>is</i> wisdom; and to depart from evil <i>is</i> understanding.

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

Oh that I were as <i>in</i> months past, as <i>in</i> the days <i>when</i> God preserved me;

When his candle shined upon my head, <i>and when</i> by his light I walked <i>through</i> darkness;

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God <i>was</i> upon my tabernacle;

When the Almighty <i>was</i> yet with me, <i>when</i> my children <i>were</i> about me;

When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

When I went out to the gate through the city, <i>when</i> I prepared my seat in the street!
