Commentary for Job 29:25

אֶֽבֲחַ֣ר דַּרְכָּם֮ וְאֵשֵׁ֪ב רֹ֥אשׁ וְ֭אֶשְׁכּוֹן כְּמֶ֣לֶךְ בַּגְּד֑וּד כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲבֵלִ֣ים יְנַחֵֽם׃

I chose out their way, and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king in the army, As one that comforteth the mourners.

Rashi on Job

I would choose their way All their ways and their counsel I would choose for them, for they would ask me, “Which way shall we go and what shall we do?”
