Job 29:7-17 In my going forth to the gate upon the city, in the street I shall prepare my seat

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ In my going forth to the gate upon the city, in the street I shall prepare my seat ⁸ The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the old men rose up and stood. ⁹ Chiefs held back in words, and they will put the hand to the mouth. ¹⁰ The voice the leaders hid, and their tongue was joined to their palate. ¹¹ If the ear heard, and it will pronounce me happy; and the eye saw, and it will testify to me: ¹² For I shall deliver the poor crying, and the orphan, and none helping to him. ¹³ The praise of him perishing will come upon me, and I shall cause the heart of the widow to rejoice. ¹⁴ I put on justice and it will clothe me: my judgment as an upper garment and a turban. ¹⁵ Eyes was I to the blind one, and feet to the lame was I. ¹⁶ I was a father to the needy, and the contention I knew not I shall search it out ¹⁷ And I shall break the biter's teeth of the evil one, and I shall cast the prey from his teeth.
