Job 29:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouths wide as for the spring rain.

²⁴ I smiled on them when they had no confidence, and their depression did not cast down the light of my countenance.

²⁵ I chose their way [for them] and sat as [their] chief, and dwelt like a king among his soldiers, like one who comforts mourners.
