Job 29:8-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. The young men saw me and withdrew,and the elders rose up and stood;

9. Officials refrained from speakingand covered their mouths with their hands;

10. The voice of the princes was silenced,and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.

11. The ear that heard blessed me;the eye that saw acclaimed me.

12. For I rescued the poor who cried out for help,the orphans, and the unassisted;

13. The blessing of those in extremity came upon me,and the heart of the widow I made joyful.
