Job 29:12-17

12because I rescued the poor who called ⌞for help⌟ and the orphans who had no one to help them.

13I received a blessing from the dying. I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.

14I put on righteousness, and it was my clothing. I practiced justice, and it was my robe and my turban.

15I was eyes for the blind person. I was feet for the lame person.

16I was father to the needy. I carefully investigated cases brought by strangers.

17I broke the teeth of the wicked person and made him drop the prey out of his mouth.
