Job 29:21-25 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

21. They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.

22. To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.

23. They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.

24. If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.

25. If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.
