18Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:

19My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lieth all night upon my branch;

20My glory is fresh in me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.

21Unto me men gave ear, and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.

22After my words they spake not again; And my speech distilled upon them.

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

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