Job 29:12-17

12Because I saved 1the poor who cried for help, And the 2orphan who had no helper.13The blessing of the one who 3was about to perish came upon me, And I made the 4widow’s heart sing for joy.14I 5put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a headband.15I was 6eyes to those who were blind, And feet to those who 7could not walk.16I was a father to 8the poor, And I investigated the case which I did not know.17I 9broke the jaws of the wicked And rescued the prey from his teeth.
