Job 29:20

Compare all

18 “Then I said, ^a‘I shall die in my nest,
And multiply my days as the sand.

19 ^aMy root is spread out ^bto the waters,
And the dew lies all night on my branch.

20 My glory is fresh within me,
And my ^abow is renewed in my hand.’

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

22 After my words they did not speak again,
And my speech settled on them as dew.
