Job 29:11-20

CLV(i) 11 When the ear heard, it called me happy, And when the eye saw, it testified in my favor. 12 For I made a way of escape for the humble who implored, And the orphan and him who had no helper. 13 The blessing of the one perishing came on me, And I caused the heart of the widow to jubilate. 14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My right judgment was as a robe and a turban. 15 I became eyes to the blind, And feet to the lame was I. 16 I was father to the needy ones, And the contention of him I knew not, I would investigate it. 17 I would break the fangs of the iniquitous And would fling the prey from his teeth. 18 And so I would say:I shall expire in old age, And I shall have many days as the sand;" 19 My root is open to the water, And the night mist lodges on my harvest branch;" 20 My glory will keep new within me, And my bow shall rejuvenate in my hand.
