The Authority of Job's Counsel

Job 29:21-25

Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.

After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.

And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.

If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.

I appoynted out their way, and did sit as chiefe, and dwelt as a King in the army, and like him that comforteth the mourners.
