Job 29:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶     A father for the needy,
        and I sought for the cause of whom I did not know.
¹⁷     I broke out the fangs of the wicked
        and wrested prey from their jaws.
¹⁸     Then I said, “I will pass from this earth in the comfort of my nest.
        My days will be more numerous than a beach’s grains of sand.
