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 your wickedness great? and your iniquities without end?

For there were those that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore let us get grain for them, that we may eat, and live.

For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.

How long will you 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.

Deliver those that are drawn toward death, hold back those that are stumbling to the slaughter;

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

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
