Job 29:23 in Context — Job 29
21 Oíanme, y esperaban; y callaban á mi consejo.
22 Tras mi palabra no replicaban, y mi razón destilaba sobre ellos.
23 Y esperábanme como á la lluvia, y abrían su boca [como] á la lluvia tardía.
24 Si me reía con ellos, no lo creían: y no abatían la luz de mi rostro.
25 Calificaba yo el camino de ellos, y sentábame en cabecera; y moraba como rey en el ejército, como el que consuela llorosos.
