Job 29:23-25

World English Bible

²³ They waited for me as for the rain.
    Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
²⁴ I smiled on them when they had no confidence.
    They didn’t reject the light of my face.
²⁵ I chose out their way, and sat as chief.
    I lived as a king in the army,
    as one who comforts the mourners.
