Job 29:7-14
7When I went out to 1the gate of the city, When I 2took my seat in the public square,8The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood.9The leaders 3stopped talking And 4put their hands on their mouths;10The voices of the prominent people were 56hushed, And their 7tongues stuck to their palates.11For when 8an ear heard, it called me blessed, And when an eye saw, it testified in support of me,12Because I saved 9the poor who cried for help, And the 10orphan who had no helper.13The blessing of the one who 11was about to perish came upon me, And I made the 12widow’s heart sing for joy.14I 13put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a headband.
