job 29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

job 29:25 "I chose a way for them and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king among the troops, As one who comforted the mourners.

25. I chose out their way--that is, I willingly went up to their assembly (from my country residence, Job 29:7).
in the army--as a king supreme in the midst of his army.
comforteth the mourners--Here again Job unconsciously foreshadows Jesus Christ (Isa 61:2, 3). Job's afflictions, as those of Jesus Christ, were fitting him for the office hereafter (Isa 50:4; Heb 2:18).

job 29:25 "I chose a way for them and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king among the troops, As one who comforted the mourners.
