Job 29:7-14

7When I went forth to the gate unto the city, when I prepared my seat in the street,

8The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the aged rose up and stood;

9The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;

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

11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me:

12Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, that had none to help him.

13The blessing of him that was ready to perish 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 robe and a diadem.
