Job 29:11-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. The ear that heard blessed me;the eye that saw acclaimed me.

12. For I rescued the poor who cried out for help,the orphans, and the unassisted;

13. The blessing of those in extremity came upon me,and the heart of the widow I made joyful.

14. I wore my righteousness like a garment;justice was my robe and my turban.

15. I was eyes to the blind,and feet to the lame was I.

16. I was a father to the poor;the complaint of the stranger I pursued,

17. And I broke the jaws of the wicked man;from his teeth I forced the prey.
