22 After my word they do not change, || And my speech drops on them,

23 And they wait for me as [for] rain, || And they have opened wide their mouth || [As] for the spring rain.

24 I laugh at them—they give no credence, || And do not cause the light of my face to fall.

25 I choose their way, and sit [as] head, || And I dwell as a king in a troop, || When he comforts mourners.”
