Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:
My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lieth all night upon my branch:
My glory is fresh in me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.
After my words they spake not again; And my speech distilled upon them.
And they waited for me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wideasfor the latter rain.
I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.
