Bible verse
The princes refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands.
Job 29:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 29.
5 when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
6 when my steps were bathed in cream and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
7 When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square,
8 the young men saw me and withdrew, and the old men rose to their feet.
9 The princes refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands.
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.
