Job 29:12-17

12Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.

13The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow’sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.

14I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.

15I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.

16I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.

17And I brakeH7665 the jawsH4973 of the wickedH5767, and pluckedH7993 the spoilH2964 out of his teethH8127.12
