American Standard Version
"When I went forth to the gate unto the city, When I prepared my seat in the street, "
— Job 29:7, American Standard Version
“When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!”
“when I went forth to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.”
“When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,”
“When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?”
“When I went out of my door to go up to the town, and took my seat in the public place,”
“When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!”
As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the friendship of God was upon my tent;
When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were about me;
When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out streams of oil!
When I went forth to the gate unto the city, When I prepared my seat in the street,
The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;
The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;
The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
