Holy Scripture

Job 29:8

A church father on this verse
“The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the old men rose up and stood. If we give heed to the history, the things that he said we believe, if to the allegory, we see the things that he foretold; for those use to be called 'young men' who are not burdened with any weightiness of counsels. But Holy Scripture is use…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XIX

6When my ways were moistened with butter, And the mountains flowed for me with milk.

7When I went forth early in the city, And the seat was placed for me in the streets.

9And the great men ceased speaking, And laid their finger on their mouth.

10And they that heard me blessed me, And their tongue clove to their throat.
