Job 29:7-11 ▼

7 When I went forth to the gate unto the city, When I prepared my seat in the broad place,

8 The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;

9 The princes refrained talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;

10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, And when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me;
