Job 29:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ When the young men saw me, they would ·step aside [or hide],
    and the old men would stand up in respect.
⁹ The ·leading men [princes] ·stopped speaking [^Lgrew silent]
    and covered their mouths with their hands.
¹⁰ The voices of the ·important men [nobles] ·were quiet [grew silent],
    as if their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
