Job 29:21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²¹‘They listened to me, and waited,
    and kept silence for my counsel.
²²After I spoke they did not speak again,
    and my word dropped upon them like dew.^[a]
²³They waited for me as for the rain;
    they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
