Job 29:23-25

Modern English Version

²³ They waited for me as for the rain,
    and they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.
²⁴ If I mocked at them, they did not believe it,
    and the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
²⁵ I chose the way for them and sat as chief,
    and lived as a king in the army,
    as one who comforts mourners.
