Job 29:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ They waited for me the way people wait for rain.
They opened their mouths the way people wait for spring showers.
²⁴ When I laughed with them, they did not believe it.
In the light from my face, they were never downcast.
²⁵ I chose the way for them,
and I was seated as their head,
like a king among the troops,
like one who comforts mourners.
