Chapter 29
9The leaders stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths; 10The voices of the prominent people were hushed, And their tongues stuck to their palates. 11For when an ear heard, it called me blessed, And when an eye saw, it testified in support of me, 12Because I saved the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.King James Version
