Job, Chapter 29, verses 12-17

¹ Job’s Past Was Glorious

¹²

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

¹³

“The blessing of the one ready 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 feet to the lame.

¹⁶

“I was a father to the needy,
And I investigated the case which I did not know.

¹⁷

“I broke the jaws of the wicked
And snatched the prey from his teeth.
