Job 29:7-17

7 When I went out to ^kthe 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 ^llaid their hand on their mouth;
10 the voice of the nobles was hushed,
and their ^mtongue 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 ⁿdelivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13 ^oThe blessing of him who was ^pabout to perish came upon me,
and I caused ^qthe widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 I ^rput on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and ^sa turban.
15 I was ^teyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out ^uthe cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I ^vbroke ^wthe fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

8 ^xOpen your mouth for the mute,
for the rights of all who are destitute. ^{▼▼Hebrew are sons of passing away}
9 Open your mouth, ^zjudge righteously,
^aadefend the rights of ^abthe poor and needy.
