Job 29:7-11 ▼

7 When I go out to the gate by the city, || In a broad place I prepare my seat.

8 Youths have seen me, and they have been hidden, || And the aged have risen—they stood up.

9 Princes have kept in words, || And they place a hand on their mouth.

10 The voice of leaders has been hidden, || And their tongue has cleaved to the palate.

11 For the ear heard, and declares me blessed, || And the eye has seen, and testifies [to] me.
