Job 29:24-25

Expanded Bible

²⁴ I smiled at them when they ·doubted [^Lhad no confidence],
    and ·my approval was important to them [^Lthey did not frown at the light of my countenance].
²⁵ I chose the way for them and ·was their leader [^Lsat as their chief].
    I lived like a king among his army,
like a person who comforts ·sad [mourning] people.
