Commentary for Job 29:2
מִֽי־יִתְּנֵ֥נִי כְיַרְחֵי־קֶ֑דֶם כִּ֝ימֵ֗י אֱל֣וֹהַּ יִשְׁמְרֵֽנִי׃
Oh that I were as in the months of old, As in the days when God watched over me;
Rashi on Job
Would that I were as [in] my early months Like the early days, when I was in my greatness.

Malbim on Job
The cycle of debate is over and Job now reviews his life. In the next three chapters he gives us first a retrospect of his happy and honorable past (Chapter 29), then an account of his present misery (Chapter 30) and finally a solemn affirmation of his innocence (Chapter 31).
