Job 29:12-16
New King James Version
12 Because (A)I delivered the poor who cried out,
The fatherless and the one who had no helper.

And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 (B)I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 I was (C)eyes to the blind,
And I was feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor,
And (D)I searched out the case that I did not know.
