21“People listened to me expectantly, waiting in silence for my counsel.
22After I had spoken, they spoke no more; my words fell gently on their ears.
23They waited for me as for showers and drank in my words as the spring rain.
24When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it; the light of my face was precious to them. The meaning of the Hebrew for this clause is uncertain.25I chose the way for them and sat as their chief; I dwelt as a king among his troops; I was like one who comforts mourners.
