Job 29:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ The voices of the princes were silenced,
    and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.

¹¹ “Whoever heard my words spoke favorably of me,
    and those who saw me testified to my merit,
¹² because I delivered the poor who appealed for help
    and the orphan who had no one to protect him.
