Job 29:7-11 ▼

7 When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,

8 the young men would see me and step aside, and the old men would get up and remain standing;

9 the chief men refrained from talking and covered their mouths with their hands;

10 the voices of the nobles fell silent, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.

11 |As soon as the ear heard these things, it blessed me, and when the eye saw them, it bore witness to me,
