17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, And plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, `I shall die in my own house, I shall number my days as the sand.
19 My root is spread out to the waters, The dew lies all night on my branch;
20 My glory is fresh in me, My bow is renewed in my hand.`
21 "Men listened to me, waited, And kept silence for my counsel.
22 After my words they didn`t speak again; My speech fell on them.
23 They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
