21 Men listened to me, and waited, and hearkened to my counsel. 22 And from my words they departed not, and my speech was pleasing to them. 23 They waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouths wide as for the spring rain. 24 If I ridiculed them, they did not take offense; and they did not turn from the light of my countenance. 25 I searched out their ways, and then returned and dwelt as a king in his army, like one who comforts the mourners.
