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.
Job 29:23-25

and drank in my words as the spring rain.(A)

the light of my face(B) was precious to them.[a](C)
25 I chose the way for them and sat as their chief;(D)
I dwelt as a king(E) among his troops;
I was like one who comforts mourners.(F)
