Job 29:7-14

7“When I went out to the gate by the city, When I took my seat in the open square,

8The young men saw me and hid, And the aged arose and stood;

9The princes refrained from talking, And put their hand on their mouth;

10The voice of nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

11When the ear heard, then it blessed me, And when the eye saw, then it approved me;

12Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and the one who had no helper.

13The blessing of a perishing man 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 like a robe and a turban.
