Job 29:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ “I was a father to ^(A)the needy,
And I investigated the case which I did not know.
¹⁷ “I ^(B)broke the jaws of the wicked
And snatched the prey from his teeth.
¹⁸ “Then I ^[a]thought, ‘I shall die ^[b]in my nest,
And I shall multiply my days as the sand.
