Job 29:8-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

8. the young men saw me and withdrew,while older men stood to their feet.

9. City officials stopped talkingand covered their mouths with their hands.

10. The noblemen’s voices were hushed,and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.

11. When they heard me, they blessed me,and when they saw me, they spoke well of me.

12. For I rescued the poor man who cried out for help,and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.
