Job 29:20

18 So I thought: ‘I will die in my nest and multiply my days as the sand.

19 My roots will spread out to the waters, and the dew will rest nightly on my branches.

My glory is ever new within me, and my bow is renewed in my hand.’

21 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.
