King James Version (KJV)

Job 29:23

“And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain.”

Verse in context — Job 29

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.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
