“The voice of the nobles was hushed,and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.”
Job 29:10 (WEB)
Context Reading
8The young men saw me and hid themselves.The aged rose up and stood. 9The princes refrained from talking,and laid their hand on their mouth. 10The voice of the nobles was hushed,and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth. 11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me,and when the eye saw me, it commended me, 12because I delivered the poor who cried,and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
