Job:29:18-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then I said ,
I shall die in my nest ,
and I shall multiply my days as the sand .
*
My root was spread out by the waters ,
and the dew lay all night upon my branch .
*
My glory was fresh in me ,
and my bow was renewed in my hand .
*
Unto me men gave ear ,
and waited ,
and kept silence at my counsel .
*
After my words they spake not again ;
and my speech dropped upon them .
*
And they waited for me as for the rain ;
and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain .
*
If I laughed on them ,
they believed it not ;
and the light of my countenance they cast not down .
*
I chose out their way ,
and sat chief ,
and dwelt as a king in the army ,
as one that comforteth the mourners .
