Job 29:23-25

Complete Jewish Bible

²³ They waited for me as if for rain,
as if for spring rain, with their mouths open wide.
²⁴ When I joked with them, they couldn’t believe it;
and they never darkened the light on my face.
²⁵ I chose their way [for them], sitting as chief;
I lived like a king in the army,
like one who comforts mourners.
