"when I went forth to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street."
— Job 29:7, World English 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 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 in my tent,
when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
when I went forth to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
The young men saw me and hid themselves. 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 stuck to the roof of their mouth.
