Context of Job 29:14
12Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper. 13The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy. I 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 investigated the case which I did not know.
