Job 29:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ They waited for me as they would for rain.
    They drank in my words as if they were spring rain.
²⁴ I smiled at them when they doubted.
    And my approval was important to them.
²⁵ I chose the right way for them and was their leader.
    I lived like a king among his army.
    I was like a person who gives comfort to sad people.
