Job 29:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 29:9

7 “When I went out to the gate by the city,
When I took my seat in the open square,

8 The young men saw me and hid,
And the aged arose and stood;

9 The princes refrained from talking,
And ^aput their hand on their mouth;

10 The voice of nobles was hushed,
And their ^atongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

11 When the ear heard, then it blessed me,
And when the eye saw, then it approved me;

12 Because ^aI delivered the poor who cried out,
The fatherless and the one who had no helper.
