Job 29:10 in Context — Job 29

8 Os rapazes me viam, e abriam caminho; e os idosos se levantavam, e ficavam em pé;

9 Os príncipes se detinham de falar, e punham a mão sobre a sua boca;

10 A voz dos líderes se calava, e suas línguas se apegavam a céu da boca;

11 O ouvido que me ouvia me considerava bem-aventurado, e o olho que me via dava bom testemunho de mim.

12 Porque eu livrava ao pobre que clamava, e ao órfão que não tinha quem o ajudasse.
