Job 29:12-17

^{Tools
12}

Because I delivered ^(A)the poor who cried for help,
And the ^(B)orphan who had no helper.

^{Tools

“The blessing of the one ^(C)ready to perish came upon me,
And I made the ^(D)widow’s heart sing for joy.

^{Tools

“I ^(E)put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.

^{Tools

“I was ^(F)eyes to the blind
And feet to the lame.

^{Tools
16}

“I was a father to ^(G)the needy,
And I investigated the case which I did not know.

^{Tools
17}

“I ^(H)broke the jaws of the wicked
And snatched the prey from his teeth.
