The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 29 of Job. Job remembers the time before his calamity, when he felt that God’s presence illuminated his path and he enjoyed social respect. His memory is not merely nostalgia: it establishes a contrast between the previous order of his life and his present situation. Past blessing functions as evidence of a life previously marked by honor and responsibility.

da die Stimme der Fürsten sich verkroch und ihre Zunge am Gaumen klebte!
La voz de los principales se ocultaba, Y su lengua se pegaba a su paladar:
La voz de los nobles se apagaba y su lengua se pegaba al paladar.
La voix des chefs se taisait, Et leur langue s'attachait à leur palais.
La voce de’ rettori era celata, E la lor lingua era attaccata al lor palato;
A voz dos nobres se calava, e a sua língua apegava-se ao seu paladar.
領袖靜默無聲, 舌頭貼住上膛。
