Job 29:24 - Exposition

If I laughed on them, they believed it not ; rather, if I smiled on them. If, as a mark of favour, I smiled on any, they thought it such graciousness and condescension that they could scarcely believe it possible. And the light of my countenance they cast not down . They never put me out of countenance, or made me sad and gloomy, by opposing my views and ranging themselves against me.
