Job 29:13-20 Good News Bible (GNB)

13. Those who were in deepest misery praised me,and I helped widows find security.

14. I have always acted justly and fairly.

15. I was eyes for the blind,and feet for the lame.

16. I was like a father to the poorand took the side of strangers in trouble.

17. I destroyed the power of cruel menand rescued their victims.

18. I always expected to live a long lifeand to die at home in comfort.

19. I was like a tree whose roots always have waterand whose branches are wet with dew.

20. Everyone was always praising me,and my strength never failed me.
