New Testament

Job 29:14-20 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. Everything I did was honest.Righteousness covered me like a robe,and I wore justice like a turban.

15. I served as eyes for the blindand feet for the lame.

16. I was a father to the poorand assisted strangers who needed help.

17. I broke the jaws of godless oppressorsand plucked their victims from their teeth.

18. “I thought, ‘Surely I will die surrounded by my familyafter a long, good life.

19. For I am like a tree whose roots reach the water,whose branches are refreshed with the dew.

20. New honors are constantly bestowed on me,and my strength is continually renewed.’
