"When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,"
— Job 29:7, NET Bible
“When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!”
“When I went forth to the gate unto 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 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!”
just as I was in my most productive time, when God’s intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,
when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me;
when my steps were bathed with butter and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil!
When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,
the young men would see me and step aside, and the old men would get up and remain standing;
the chief men refrained from talking and covered their mouths with their hands;
the voices of the nobles fell silent, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
