New International Version

Job 29:13-18 New International Version (NIV)

13. The one who was dying blessed me; I made the widow’s heart sing.

14. I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was my robe and my turban.

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

16. I was a father to the needy; I took up the case of the stranger.

17. I broke the fangs of the wicked and snatched the victims from their teeth.

18. “I thought, ‘I will die in my own house, my days as numerous as the grains of sand.
