16. I was a father to the needy.The cause of him who I didn’t know, I searched out.
17. I broke the jaws of the unrighteous,and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18. Then I said, ‘I shall die in my own house,I shall count my days as the sand.
19. My root is spread out to the waters.The dew lies all night on my branch.
