Job 29:23

“They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.”

Verse in context — Job 29

Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.

After my words they didn't speak again. My speech fell on them.

They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.

I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn't reject the light of my face.

I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.

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