Job 29:22-24
Easy-to-Read Version

22 When I finished speaking, they had nothing more to say.
    My words fell gently on their ears.
23 They waited for my words as they would for rain.
    They drank them in like rain in the springtime.
24 I smiled at them, and they could hardly believe it.
    My smile made them feel better.
