Job 29:7-14

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.

Job 29:20-21

20 my glory fresh with me,
and my ^jbow ever ^knew in my hand.’
21 “Men listened to me and waited
and kept silence for my counsel.

Job 30:1

1 “But now they ^llaugh at me,
men who are ^myounger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to set with the dogs of my flock.

Psalms 49:16-17

16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
17 ⁿFor when he dies he will ^ocarry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.

Psalms 89:44

44 You have made his splendor to cease
and cast his throne to the ground.
