Job 29:8

6 when my steps were bathed in cream and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

7 When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square,

the young men saw me and withdrew, and the old men rose to their feet.

9 The princes refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands.

10 The voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.
