Job 29:7-17

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>_!

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)_.

The princes
<08269>

refrained
<06113> (8804)

talking
<04405>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[their] hand
<03709>

on their mouth
<06310>_.

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}

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:

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.

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)_.

I put
<03847> (8804)

on righteousness
<06664>_,

and it clothed
<03847> (8799)

me: my judgment
<04941>

[was] as a robe
<04598>

and a diadem
<06797>_.

I was eyes
<05869>

to the blind
<05787>_,

and feet
<07272>

[was] I to the lame
<06455>_.

I [was] a father
<01>

to the poor
<034>_:

and the cause
<07379>

[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)

not I searched out
<02713> (8799)_.

And I brake
<07665> (8762)

the jaws
<04973>

of the wicked
<05767>_,

and plucked
<07993> (8686)

the spoil
<02964>

out of his teeth
<08127>_.

{the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}
