11. When the ears that heard me, called me blessed; and when the eyes that saw me, gave witness to me:
12. because I delivered the poor that cried and the fatherless who had no one to help him.
13. The blessing of the one that was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me as a robe; and my diadem was judgment.
15. I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.
16. I was a father to the needy; and the cause which I did not know I searched out.
17. And I broke the fangs of the wicked and caused their teeth to release the prey.
18. Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
