New Testament

Job 29:11-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. When the ear heard, it called me blessed,and when the eye saw, it approved,

12. because I delivered the poor who cried for help,and the fatherless who had none to help him.

13. The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me,and 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 blindand feet to the lame.

16. I was a father to the needy,and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.

17. I broke the fangs of the unrighteousand made him drop his prey from his teeth.
