NASB
""I smiled on them when they did not believe, And the light of my face they did not cast down."
— Job 29:24, NASB
“If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.”
“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.”
"To me they listened and waited, And kept silent for my counsel.
"After my words they did not speak again, And my speech dropped on them.
"They waited for me as for the rain, And opened their mouth as for the spring rain.
"I smiled on them when they did not believe, And the light of my face they did not cast down.
"I chose a way for them and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king among the troops, As one who comforted the mourners.
