Job 29:4-16
4when I was in my prime,1 when the friendship of God rested on my tent,5when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,6when my steps were bathed in cream and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
7When I went out to the city gateand took my seat in the public square,8the young men saw me and withdrew,and the old men rose to their feet.9The princes refrained from speakingand covered their mouths with their hands.10The voices of the nobles were hushed,and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.11For those who heard me called me blessed,and those who saw me commended me,12because I rescued the poor who cried outand the fatherless who had no helper.13The dying man blessed me,and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;justice was my robe and my turban.15I served as eyes to the blindand as feet to the lame.16I was a father to the needy,and I took up the case of the stranger.
