Job 29:9 in Context (Verses 6–12 KJV)
6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;*
7
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.*
11
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
