12because I rescued the poor who cried out
and the fatherless who had no helper.
13The dying man blessed me,
and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
justice was my robe and my turban.
15I served as eyes to the blind
and as feet to the lame.
16I was a father to the needy,
and I took up the case of the stranger.
17I shattered the fangs of the unjust
and snatched the prey from his teeth.
— Job 29:12-17
