Job 29:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²²After I spoke they did not speak again,
    and my word dropped upon them like dew.^[a]
²³They waited for me as for the rain;
    they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
²⁴I smiled on them when they had no confidence;
    and the light of my countenance they did not extinguish.^[b]
