Berean Standard Bible

If I smiled at them, they did not believe it; the light of my countenance was precious.

If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.

Job 29:22–25 · Berean Standard Bible

22 After my words, they spoke no more; my speech settled on them like dew.

23 They waited for me as for rain and drank in my words like spring showers.

24 If I smiled at them, they did not believe it; the light of my countenance was precious.

25 I chose their course and presided as chief. So I dwelt as a king among his troops, as a comforter of the mourners.
