15. I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.
16. I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.
17. I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.
18. And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.
19. My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.
20. My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.
