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.

Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities without end?

And there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many, and we must procure corn that we may eat and live.

For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;

How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also himself shall cry, and shall not be heard.

Deliver them that are taken forth unto death, and withdraw not from them that stagger to slaughter.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah.

Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and minister justice to the afflicted and needy.
