Job 29:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ “Those were the days when I went to the city gate
    and sat in the public meeting of the elders.
⁸ When the young men saw me coming, they stepped out of my way.
    And the old men stood up to show they respected me.
⁹ The leaders of the people stopped talking
    and put their hands over their mouths.
