Job 29:9-13

“The leaders stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;

The voices of the prominent people were hushed, And their tongues stuck to their palates.

“For when an ear heard, it called me blessed, And when an eye saw, it testified in support of me,

Because I saved the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.

“The blessing of the one who was about to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
