Job 29:7-14
7When I wentH3318 out to 1the gateH8179 of the cityH7176, When I 2tookH3559 my seatH4186 in the squareH7339,8The youngH5288 menH5288 sawH7200 me and hidH2244 themselves, And the oldH3453 menH3453 aroseH6965 and stoodH5975.9The princesH8269 3stoppedH6113 talkingH4405 And 4putH7760 their handsH3709 on their mouthsH6310;10The voiceH6963 of the noblesH5057 was 56hushedH2244, And their 7tongueH3956 stuckH1692 to their palateH2441.11For when 8the earH241 heardH8085, it calledH833 me blessedH833, And when the eyeH5869 sawH7200, it gaveH5749 witnessH5749 of me,12BecauseH3588 I deliveredH4422 9the poorH6041 who criedH7768 for helpH7768, And the 10orphanH3490 who had noH3808 helperH5826.13The blessingH1293 of the one 11ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me, And I made the 12widow’sH490 heartH3820 singH7442 for joyH7442.14I 13putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me; My justiceH4941 was like a robeH4598 and a turbanH6797.
