Job 29:12-17

12because I delivered the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to help him.

13The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to 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 feet to the lame.

16I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.

17I broke the fangs of the unrighteous and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
