Responsa 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;
Shut min haShamayim
They responded: "At the head of the crowds she calls, she raises her voice in the streets," (Proverbs 1:20-21), My children have cursed me. "O that I were as in months gone by," (Job 29:2) when I was beloved by My children. Why should you stand by leniencies? If only they would guard my strictures!
