Job 29:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 The dying man blessed me, and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.

14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; justice was my robe and my turban.

15 I served as eyes to the blind and as feet to the lame.

16 I was a father to the needy, and I took up the case of the stranger.

17 I shattered the fangs of the unjust and snatched the prey from his teeth.
