Job’s Benevolence

11 “As soon as the ear heard these things, it blessed me,

and when the eye saw them, it bore witness to me,

12 for I rescued the poor who cried out for help,

and the orphan who had no one to assist him;

13 the blessing of the dying man descended on me,

and I made the widow’s heart rejoice;

14 I put on righteousness and it clothed me,

my just dealing was like a robe and a turban;

15 I was eyes for the blind

and feet for the lame;

16 I was a father to the needy,

and I investigated the case of the person I did not know;

17 I broke the fangs of the wicked,

and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
