In context
18 And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.'
19 My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch.
20 My honour is fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed.
21 To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
22 After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop,
23 And they wait as for rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide As for the latter rain.
24 I laugh unto them--they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.
