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.
