Job 29:11-16

Revised Standard Version

¹¹ When the ear heard, it called me blessed,
    and when the eye saw, it approved;
¹² because I delivered the poor who cried,
    and the fatherless who had none to help him.
¹³ The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me,
    and I caused the widow’s heart to 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 poor,
    and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.
