Job 29:23 in Context — Job 29
21 On m’écoutait et l’on restait dans l’attente, On gardait le silence devant mes conseils.
22 Après mes discours, nul ne répliquait, Et ma parole était pour tous une bienfaisante rosée;
23 Ils comptaient sur moi comme sur la pluie, Ils ouvraient la bouche comme pour une pluie du printemps.
24 Je leur souriais quand ils perdaient courage, Et l’on ne pouvait chasser la sérénité de mon front.
25 J’aimais à aller vers eux, et je m’asseyais à leur tête; J’étais comme un roi au milieu d’une troupe, Comme un consolateur auprès des affligés.
