Job:29:7-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When I went out to the gate through the city ,
when I prepared my seat in the street !
*
The young men saw me ,
and hid themselves :
and the aged arose ,
and stood up .
*
The princes refrained talking ,
and laid their hand on their mouth .
*
The nobles held their peace ,
and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth .
*
When the ear heard me ,
then it blessed me ;
and when the eye saw me ,
it gave witness to me :
*
Because I delivered the poor that cried ,
and the fatherless ,
and him that had none to help him .
*
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me :
and I caused the widows heart to sing for joy .
*
I put on righteousness ,
and it clothed me :
my judgment was as a robe and a diadem .
