8 the young men saw me and withdrew, and the old men rose to their feet.

10 The voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.
11 For those who heard me called me blessed, and those who saw me commended me,
12 because I rescued the poor who cried out and the fatherless who had no helper.
13 The dying man blessed me, and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; justice was my robe and my turban.
