Job 29:16
King James Version
“I a father to the poor: and the cause I knew not I searched out.”
Context
13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment as a robe and a diadem.
15I was eyes to the blind, and feet I to the lame.
16I a father to the poor: and the cause I knew not I searched out.
17And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply days as the sand.
19My root spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
