Job 29:21

“They listened to me and waited
And kept silent for my counsel.

The princes stopped talking
And put their hands on their mouths;

“You see, I waited for your words,
I listened to your [wise] reasons,
While you pondered and searched out what to say.

Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

The princes stopped talking
And put their hands on their mouths;

“You see, I waited for your words,
I listened to your [wise] reasons,
While you pondered and searched out what to say.
