Job 29:11-16

11“All who heard me praised me. All who saw me spoke well of me.

12For I assisted the poor in their need and the orphans who required help.

13I helped those without hope, and they blessed me. And I caused the widows’ hearts to sing for joy.

14Everything I did was honest. Righteousness covered me like a robe, and I wore justice like a turban.

15I served as eyes for the blind and feet for the lame.

16I was a father to the poor and assisted strangers who needed help.
