nkjv@Job:29:18 @ "Then I said, "I shall die in my nest, And multiply my days as the sand.
nkjv@Job:29:19 @ My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lies all night on my branch.
nkjv@Job:29:20 @ My glory is fresh within me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.'
nkjv@Job:29:21 @ "Men listened to me and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.
nkjv@Job:29:22 @ After my words they did not speak again, And my speech settled on them as dew.
nkjv@Job:29:23 @ They waited for me as for the rain, And they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.
nkjv@Job:29:24 @ If I mocked at them, they did not believe it, And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
nkjv@Job:29:25 @ I chose the way for them, and sat as chief; So I dwelt as a king in the army, As one who comforts mourners.
