Job 29:12-16
New American Standard Bible
12 Because I saved (A)the poor who cried for help,
And the (B)orphan who had no helper.
13 The blessing of the one who (C)was about to perish came upon me,
And I made the (D)widow’s heart sing for joy.
14 I (E)put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a headband.
15 I was (F)eyes to those who were blind,
And feet to those who [a]could not walk.
16 I was a father to (G)the poor,
And I investigated the case which I did not know.
