Job 29:7-14

7When I went out to the gate by the city, when I prepared my seat on the broadway,

8The young men saw me, and hid themselves; and the aged arose [and] stood up;

9Princes refrained from talking, and laid the hand on their mouth;

10The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to their palate.

11When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me, and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me;

12For I delivered the afflicted that cried, and the fatherless who had no helper.

13The blessing of him that was perishing came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was as a mantle and a turban.
