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 iniquity without measure?

For certain ones said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain for them, so that we may eat and live.

For He shall deliver the needy when he cries; and the poor with no helper.

How long will you judge unjustly and lift up the faces of the wicked? Selah.

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

Deliver those being taken to death, and those stumbling to be killed, unless you hold back.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Was this not to know Me? says Jehovah.

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