Job 29:25 ASV

²³  And they waited for me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wide 'as' for the latter rain.

²⁴  I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.

²⁵  I chose out their way, and sat 'as' chief, And dwelt as a king in the army, As one that comforteth the mourners.
