Job 29:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

Certainly thy wickedness is great and thine iniquities have no end.

For there were some that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many; therefore we have bought grain that we may eat and live.

For he shall deliver the destitute when he cries and the poor that has no helper.

How long will ye judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

Whosoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself but shall not be heard.

If thou forbear to deliver those that are drawn unto death and those that are ready to be slain,

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Is this not to know me? said the LORD.

Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and destitute.
