Job 29:21
19 My roots will spread out to the waters, and the dew will rest nightly on my branches.
20 My glory is ever new within me, and my bow is renewed in my hand.’
Men listened to me with expectation, waiting silently for my counsel.
22 After my words, they spoke no more; my speech settled on them like dew.
23 They waited for me as for rain and drank in my words like spring showers.
