12 For I deliuered the poore when he cryed, and the fatherlesse, and hym that had none to helpe hym.

13 The blessing of him that was redy to perishe came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce.

14 And why? I put vpon me righteousnesse, which couered me as a garment, and equitie was my crowne.

15 I was an eye to the blinde, and a foote to the lame.

16 I was a father to the poore: and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
