Job 29:6

Money and wealth

4 when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God rested on my tent,

5 when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,

when my steps were bathed in cream and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

7 When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square,

8 the young men saw me and withdrew, and the old men rose to their feet.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
