Job 29:7-14

MSTC(i) 7 When I went through the city unto the gate, and when they set me a chair in the street; 8 When the young men, as soon as they saw me, hid themselves, and when the aged arose, and stood up unto me; 9 when the princes left of their talking, and laid their hand to their mouth; 10 when the mighty kept still their voice, and when their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouths; 11 When all they that heard me, called me happy, and when all they that saw me, wished me good. 12 "For I delivered the poor when he cried, and the fatherless that wanted help. 13 He that should have been lost, gave me a good word, and the widow's heart praised me. 14 And why? I put upon me righteousness, which covered me as a garment, and equity was my crown.
