Job 29:11-16

11For when an ear heard [my name mentioned], it called me happy and fortunate; And when an eye saw [me], it testified for me [approvingly],

12Because I rescued the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.

13The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.

14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban!

15I was eyes to the blind And I was feet to the lame.

16I was a father to the needy; I investigated the case I did not know [and assured justice].
