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.'
19. My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch.
20. My honour [is] fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed.
21. To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
22. After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop,
23. And they wait as [for] rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide [As] for the latter rain.
24. I laugh unto them--they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.
25. I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort.
