Job 29:9 In-Context

7 »¡Qué tiempos aquellos cuando iba a las puertas de la ciudad
y ocupaba mi lugar entre los líderes reconocidos!
8 Los jóvenes me daban paso cuando me veían,
e incluso los ancianos se ponían de pie en señal de respeto cuando yo llegaba.
9 Los príncipes guardaban silencio
y se cubrían la boca con las manos.
10 Las más altas autoridades de la ciudad se quedaban calladas,
y refrenaban la lengua en señal de respeto.
11 »Los que me oían, me elogiaban;
los que me veían hablaban bien de mí.
