King James Version
"The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth."
— Job 29:10, King James Version
“The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. ”
“The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.”
“the voices of the nobles fell silent, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.”
“The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.”
“The chiefs kept back their words, and their tongues were joined to the roofs of their mouths.”
“The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.”
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
