Job 29:12-16 ▼

12 Because I rescued the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.

13 “The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.

14 “I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban!

15 “I was eyes to the blind And I was feet to the lame.

16 “I was a father to the needy; I investigated the case I did not know [and assured justice].
