21Unto me men gaue eare, and waited, and kept silence at my counsell. 22After my words they spake not againe, & my speach dropped vpon them, 23And they waited for me as for the raine, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter raine. 24If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not, and the light of my countenance they cast not downe. 25I chose out their way, and sate chiefe, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
