And kept silence at my counsel.

They were silent as they waited for me to speak.

21 “Men listened to me and waited,

And kept silence for my counsel.

and waited quietly for my advice.

21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited,

And kept silence for my counsel.

21 “People listened to me eagerly, 

quietly waiting for my advice. 

21 Men listened to me with expectation,

waiting silently for my advice.

21 “They listened to me, and waited,

and kept silence for my counsel.

and they kept silent for my counsel.

21 “People wanted to hear what I had to say.

They waited silently for the advice I gave them.

21 “To me they listened and waited,
