Job 29:12-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹² For I rescued the poor who cried out for help,
and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.^(A)
13 The dying blessed me,
and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.
¹⁴ I clothed myself in righteousness,^(B)
and it enveloped me;
my just decisions were like a robe and a turban.
¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.^(C)
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I examined the case of the stranger.
¹⁷ I shattered the fangs of the unjust^(D)
and snatched the prey from his teeth.
