Job 29:7-17

7 When I went out to ^athe gate of the city,
when I prepared my seat in the square,
8 the young men saw me and withdrew,
and the aged rose and stood;
9 the princes refrained from talking
and ^blaid their hand on their mouth;
10 the voice of the nobles was hushed,
and their ^ctongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard, it called me blessed,
and when the eye saw, it approved,
12 because I ^ddelivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13 ^eThe blessing of him who was ^fabout to perish came upon me,
and I caused ^gthe widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 I ^hput on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and ⁱa turban.
15 I was ^jeyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out ^kthe cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I ^lbroke ^mthe fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

Jeremiah 37:13

13 When he was at ⁿthe Benjamin Gate, a sentry there named Irijah the son of ^oShelemiah, son of Hananiah, seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ^p“You are deserting to the Chaldeans.”

Amos 5:10

10 ^qThey hate him who reproves ^rin the gate,
and they ^sabhor him who speaks the truth.
