as one who comforts the mourners.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Job 29:25 in context

Job 29:22–25

After my words they didn’t speak again.

My speech fell on them.

They waited for me as for the rain.

Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.

I smiled on them when they had no confidence.

They didn’t reject the light of my face.

Selected verse

I chose out their way, and sat as chief.

I lived as a king in the army,

as one who comforts the mourners.
