10. The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved.
11. For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye hath seen, and testifieth [to] me.
12. For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper.
13. The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing.
14. Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.
15. Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame [am] I.
16. A father I [am] to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.
17. And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.
18. And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.'
