Chapter 29 is a long reminiscence of the good old days when Job recalls the time "when God watched over" him, and when "God's intimate friendship blessed" his house. He says that then his "path was drenched with cream" and olive oil poured out of the rock. Job then goes on to recall how respected he used to be in the city and how he was spoken well of. He also remembers his positive social action rescuing the poor, assisting orphans, helping the dying, bereaved, blind and lame. He recalls how he was all set for a long blessed life. Sadly for Job all this had drastically changed.
