THE MESSAGE
Job now resumed his response: "Oh, how I long for the good old days, when God took such very good care of me. He always held a lamp before me and I walked through the dark by its light. Oh, how I miss those golden years when God's friendship graced my home, When the Mighty One was still by my side and my children were all around me, When everything was going my way, and nothing seemed too difficult.
New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

1 Job also added, taking up his parable, and said: 2 Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me? 3 When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness? 4 As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle? 5 When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me? 6 When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moreover, Job continued his parable,.... Or "added to take [it] up" q, that is, he took it up again, and went on with his discourse; he made a pause for awhile, waiting to observe whether any of his three friends would return an answer to what he had said; but perceiving they were not inclined to make any reply, he began again, and gave an account of his former life, in order to show that he was far from being the wicked man, or being so accounted by others, as his friends had represented him:

and said; as follows.

q ויוסף שאת "addidit assumere", Montanus, Bolducius, Mercerus; "addidit tollere", Drusius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Moreover, Job continued his parable - See the notes at Job 27:1. It is probable that Job had paused to see if anyone would attempt a reply. As his friends were silent, he resumed his remarks and went into a more full statement of his sufferings. The fact that Job more than once paused in his addresses to give his friends an opportunity to speak, and that they were silent when they seemed called upon to vindicate their former sentiments, was what particularly roused the wrath of Elihu and induced him to answer; Job 32:2-5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXIX

Job laments his present condition, and gives an affecting

account of his former prosperity, having property in

abundance, being surrounded by a numerous family, and enjoying

every mark of the approbation of God, 1-6.

Speaks of the respect he had from the young, 7, 8;

and from the nobles, 9, 10.

Details his conduct as a magistrate and judge in supporting

the poor, and repressing the wicked, 11-17;

his confidence, general prosperity, and respect, 18-25.
