Job 29:12-17

^{Tools
12}

For I rescued the poor man who cried out for help,
and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.^(A)

^{Tools
13}

The dying man blessed me,
and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.

^{Tools
14}

I clothed myself in righteousness,^(B)
and it enveloped me;
my just decisions were like a robe and a turban.

^{Tools
15}

I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.^(C)

^{Tools
16}

I was a father to the needy,
and I examined the case of the stranger.

^{Tools
17}

I shattered the fangs of the unjust^(D)
and snatched the prey from his teeth.
