Job 29:22-24

New International Version

²² After I had spoken, they spoke no more;^(A)
    my words fell gently on their ears.^(B)
23 They waited for me as for showers
    and drank in my words as the spring rain.^(C)
24 When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
    the light of my face^(D) was precious to them.^[a](E)
