Job 29:23-25

Christian Standard Bible

²³ They waited for me as for the rain
and opened their mouths as for spring showers.
²⁴ If I smiled at them, they couldn’t believe it;
they were thrilled at^[a] the light of my countenance.
²⁵ I directed their course and presided as chief.
I lived as a king among his troops,
like one who comforts those who mourn.
