Job 29:12-17

New Catholic Bible

¹² because I delivered the poor who appealed for help
    and the orphan who had no one to protect him.
¹³ The blessing of the wretched was given to me,
    and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
¹⁴ “I put on righteousness as my garment;
    justice was my cloak and my turban.
¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind
    and feet to the lame.
¹⁶ I was a father to the needy,
    and I defended the rights of the stranger.
¹⁷ I broke the fangs of the wicked
    and snatched their prey from their teeth.
