Job 29:18-22

“Then I thought, ‘I will die with my family, And I will multiply my days as the sand.

‘My root is spread out to the waters, And dew lies on my branch all night.

‘My glory is ever new with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.’

“To me they listened and waited, And they kept silent for my advice.

“After my words they did not speak again, And my speech dropped on them.
