Job 29:11-16

11Everyone was very pleased to listen to the things that I said. They respected me when they saw the things that I did.

12When poor people cried for help, I rescued them. I helped children who had no family that could help them.

13People who were near to death praised me for my help. Widows were happy when I helped them.

14I always did what was right, like good clothes that I wore. I was fair and honest, like my coat and my hat.

15If people were blind, I would be their guide. If people could not walk, I would fetch things for them.

16If poor people needed help, I helped them like their father would do. I spoke on behalf of strangers to help them get justice.
