Job 29:11-17

New Century Version

¹¹ Anyone who heard me spoke well of me,
    and those who saw me praised me,
¹² because I saved the poor who called out
    and the orphan who had no one to help.
¹³ The dying person blessed me,
    and I made the widow’s heart sing.
¹⁴ I put on right living as if it were clothing;
    I wore fairness like a robe and a turban.
¹⁵ I was eyes for the blind
    and feet for the lame.
¹⁶ I was like a father to needy people,
    and I took the side of strangers who were in trouble.
¹⁷ I broke the fangs of evil people
    and snatched the captives from their teeth.
