Job 29:11-20

Coverdale(i) 11 When all they yt herde me, called me happie: & when all they yt sawe me, wysshed me good. 12 For I delyuered ye poore whe he cried, & the fatherlesse yt wanted helpe. 13 He yt shulde haue bene lost, gaue me a good worde, & ye widdowes hert praised me. 14 And why? I put vpon me rightuousnes, which couered me as a garmet, & equite was my crowne. 15 I was an eye vnto the blynde, & a fote to the lame. 16 I was a father vnto the poore, & whe I knew not their cause, I sought it out diligetly. 17 I brake the chaftes of ye vnrightuous, & plucte the spoyle out of their teth. 18 Therfore, I thought verely, yt I shulde haue dyed in my nest: & yt my dayes shulde haue bene as many as the sondes of the see. 19 For my rote was spred out by the waters syde, & the dew laye vpo my corne. 20 My honor encreased more & more, and my bowe was euer the stronger in my hande.
