Job 29:11-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic 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.
¹³ The blessing of the wretched 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 needy,
    and I championed the cause of the stranger.
