Job 29:21-25

Job 28 Job 30

Job 29:21-25 New International Version (NIV)

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