20 My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand.
21 Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.
22 After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.
23 And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.
24 If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.
