Job 29:11-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ When the ear heard, it commended me,
    and when the eye saw, it approved,
¹² because I delivered the poor who cried
    and the orphan who had no helper.^(A)
13 The blessing of the wretched came upon me,
    and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.^(B)
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
    my justice was like a robe and a turban.^(C)
15 I was eyes to the blind
    and feet to the lame.
¹⁶ I was a father to the needy,
    and I championed the cause of the stranger.^(D)
