Job 29:21-25
New International Version
Job 29:21-25
New International Version
21 “People listened to me expectantly,
waiting in silence for my counsel.(A)
22 After I had spoken, they spoke no more;(B)
my words fell gently on their ears.(C)
23 They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.(D)
24 When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face(E) was precious to them.[a](F)
25 I chose the way for them and sat as their chief;(G)
I dwelt as a king(H) among his troops;
I was like one who comforts mourners.(I)
