Job 29:13-18

NSB(i) 13 »The blessing of the wretched came upon me. 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! I championed the cause of the stranger. 17 »I broke the fangs of the unrighteous. I made them drop their prey from their teeth. 18 »Then I thought: I shall die in my nest (house), and I shall multiply my days like the grains of sand.
