Job 29:23-25

Tree of Life Version

²³ They waited for me as for the rain,
and opened their mouths as for spring rain.
²⁴ When I joked with them, they hardly believed it;
they did not cause the light of my face to fall.
²⁵ I chose their way and sat as their chief;
    I lived as a king among the troops;
    I was like one who comforts mourners.
