Job 29:13

Verse 13 of 25. The 29th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

9The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.

10The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it commended me,

12because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,

13the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

15I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.

16I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.

17I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
