Job 29:7-13

29:7

When I went out
<03318> (8800)

to the gate
<08179>

through the city
<07176>_,

[when] I prepared
<03559> (8686)

my seat
<04186>

in the street
<07339>_!

29:8

The young men
<05288>

saw
<07200> (8804)

me, and hid
<02244> (8738)

themselves: and the aged
<03453>

arose
<06965> (8804)_,

[and] stood up
<05975> (8804)_.

29:9

The princes
<08269>

refrained
<06113> (8804)

talking
<04405>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[their] hand
<03709>

on their mouth
<06310>_.

29:10

The nobles
<05057>

held
<02244> (8738)

their peace
<06963>_,

and their tongue
<03956>

cleaved
<01692> (8804)

to the roof of their mouth
<02441>_.

{The nobles...: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}

29:11

When the ear
<0241>

heard
<08085> (8804)

[me], then it blessed
<0833> (8762)

me; and when the eye
<05869>

saw
<07200> (8804)

[me], it gave witness
<05749> (8686)

to me:

29:12

Because I delivered
<04422> (8762)

the poor
<06041>

that cried
<07768> (8764)_,

and the fatherless
<03490>_,

and [him that had] none to help
<05826> (8802)

him.

29:13

The blessing
<01293>

of him that was ready to perish
<06> (8802)

came
<0935> (8799)

upon me: and I caused the widow's
<0490>

heart
<03820>

to sing for joy
<07442> (8686)_.
