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 thine evil much? and no end to thine iniquities?

And there is which saying, Our sons and our daughters, we being many: and we will take grain and we will eat and live.

For we will deliver the needy from the powerful one, and the poor and no helper to him.

How long will ye judge wickedness, and ye will lift up the faces of the unjust? Silence.

He stopping his ear from the cry of the poor one also himself shall call and shall not be answered.

If thou shalt refrain to deliver those being brought to death, and those going to be slain;

He judged the judgment of the poor and the needy; then it was well: was this not knowing me? says Jehovah.

Open thy mouth; judge justly, and contend for the poor and needy.
