Job 29:23-25

Revised Standard Version

²³ They waited for me as for the rain;
    and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
²⁴ I smiled on them when they had no confidence;
    and the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
²⁵ I chose their way, and sat as chief,
    and I dwelt like a king among his troops,
    like one who comforts mourners.
