Job 29:25 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Job 29:24      Job 30:1

Job 29:25

I chose a path (Hebr. derech) for them and sat as head (the highest leaders – Hebr. rosh),
I sat enthroned as a king (Hebr. melech) among his army (troops),
as one who comforts (Hebr. nacham) the mourners.
[Job is a shadow image of the Messiah who comforts those who mourn, see Isa. 61:2–3. There are also similarities in his suffering, see Isa. 50:4; Heb. 2:18. In the Heb. word order, nachum is the last word. Jesus chose to work from Capernaum (Isa. 9:1; Matt. 4:13), which in Hebrew is Kfar Nachum. It is the same name as the prophet Nahum. The meaning is "Nahum's village" or more literally "the village of comfort"!]
