Job 29:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ The young men would see me and withdraw,
    and the aged would rise and stand.
⁹ Nobles would refrain from speaking,
    covering their mouths with their hands.
¹⁰ The voices of the commanders-in-chief^[a] were hushed,
    and their tongues would cling to the roofs of their mouths.”
