Job 29:7-12

New International Version

⁷ “When I went to the gate^(A) of the city
    and took my seat in the public square,
⁸ the young men saw me and stepped aside^(B)
    and the old men rose to their feet;^(C)
9 the chief men refrained from speaking^(D)
    and covered their mouths with their hands;^(E)
10 the voices of the nobles were hushed,^(F)
    and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.^(G)
11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
    and those who saw me commended me,^(H)
12 because I rescued the poor^(I) who cried for help,
    and the fatherless^(J) who had none to assist them.^(K)
