Job 29:23-25

Amplified Bible

²³ 
“They waited for me [and for my words] as for the rain,
And they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
²⁴ 
“I smiled at them when they did not believe,
And they did not diminish the light of my face.
²⁵ 
“I chose a way for them and sat as chief,
And dwelt as a king among his soldiers,
As one who comforts mourners.
