Job 29:7-10

c Ps. 22:15; 137:6; Lam. 4:4; Ezek. 3:26

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.
