Job 29:24
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.
If I smiled at them, they did not believe it; the light of my countenance was precious.
25 I chose their course and presided as chief. So I dwelt as a king among his troops, as a comforter of the mourners.
