King James Version
"If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down."
— Job 29:24, King James Version
“I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down. ”
“I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn't reject the light of my face.”
“If I smiled at them, they hardly believed it; and they did not cause the light of my face to darken.”
“If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.”
“I was laughing at them when they had no hope, and the light of my face was never clouded by their fear.”
“If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.”
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
